Listening to radio is more enjoyable and practical than watching television. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Listening to radio and watching television are both entertaining, but some people believe that watching television is not much interest and does not impart much information as listening to radio. I disagree with them because listening to radio cannot counter with watching television in many ways.
I believe that television carries more information than radio. Pictures and motion information, in effect, make the activity of watching television more enjoyable and practical. For example, people can watch programs, interviews and news with pictures and motions on television, whereas via radio, it is hard to tell what is happening by only using words. Those images and scenes of television not only can tell the story but they can also bring the audience closer to the story by showing them the real situation. Besides, listening to radio is not as good as watching television is that the programs on the television are usually more up-to-date than radio. For example, the broadcasting companies usually commit more resources to the latest news, while radio stations often lack the resources to find the information. In addition, radio stations also cannot afford to produce big shows to entertain people.
Despite of the advantages of watching television, there are some benefits in listening to radio which we cannot overlook. Firstly, radio is more transferable than a television. For example, a television is usually very large and is difficult to carry whereas, a radio is very convenient to carry while travelling. Under these circumstances, a radio is more practical and gives us more fun on our trips. In addition, the portability of a radio makes it a perfect choice to be with us, while we are doing other activities such as sports or studying.
In conclusion, although listening to radio may be enjoyable and practical in some situations, watching television is a better choice.
