In today's world, there is a widely debated topic of how watching TV or reading books could contribute to people's imagination and language skills. While I accept that that TV could provides audiences with visual effects as well as sound effects which can significantly affect their ability to visualize and learn language, I believe that reading books would also directly enhance our practical linguistic skills as well as requiring us to use our imagination frequently.

In terms of watching TV, this habit can affect our personal ability to imagine and use languages in many ways. One reason can be clearly named is that while watching some TV programs could be a mixed test of both imagination and linguistic skills due to the fact that these programs often provide us with vivid images, sound effects as well as words from subtitle, this range of information would really trigger our senses. This is primarily because it would force us to pay attention to what we are watching, we have to memorize the images and etch them in our mind while processing sounds that could be a voice in our language or even a foreign language. For instance, this can be really obvious in many families that have toddlers, they tend to let their children expose to some TV channels in English with humorous contents, which are often associated with some animal characters to attract them and help them focus on the screens. As a result, these images can easily be etched in their memory in long-term and even be really supportive for their visual imagination while they could also be more familiar with languages over time. In addition, watching TV is a common habit to many people, especially the younger generation due to its attraction; as a result, they can leverage this habit as a way to learn such as a way to expand their ideas and imagination when creating or a way to practice their language listening skills.

With regards to reading books, it is undeniable that reading could extremely foster our language skills while requiring us to use our imagination very often. To be more specific, books are often accompanied by a huge amount of words as well as abstract knowledge that we have to completely focus on it or sometimes visualize it in our mind to understand. For instance, the Harry Potter Collection, which is a really famous novel collection that could be familiar and linked closely to childhood of many people. By reading a fascinating story about the magical world and converting that into their mind, children's imagination and linguistic skills are naturally developed without formal practices or difficult tasks, which could lay the foundation for their future development and trigger their enjoyment with words as well as languages. Moreover, most types of books could provide lexical diversity with many academic words as well as many complicated grammar structure, that can really expand their ability to use language for academic purpose, especially writing and reading.＋

In conclusion, although reading books could force our brain to imagine and consume language naturally, watching TV could be a helpful supporter that provide us with flexible skills to enhance our imagination and linguistic skills.
