Are books better than films?

Nowadays, most people either watch a film or read a book in their free time, for
entertainment purposes. However, it is more common to find people that prefer to sit in
front of the television all day than find someone who wants to sit at home reading all day.
To begin with, imagination is a very important thing when we talk about books or
films. When we watch a film we are merely an observer: we are not feeling everything the
character feels, not reading every single one of their innermost thoughts, all of their doubts,
fears and hopes. Films let us observe everything.
On the contrary, reading a book allows us to imagine the situation, environment,
characters, their personality, thoughts, doubts, fears and hopes because they have more
details. When we read a book, nothing else exists and we can be a whole other person in this
completely new and amazing world. What is more, it is abiding and develops our
vocabulary. If we read a lot of book we learn to visualise things and it helps us to learn to
use our imagination.
In conclusion, I prefer reading the book because it gives me more enjoyment and it is a
very good way to relax. I think the books are the most intimate friends of humanity.
