Most people say the book is better than the movie. Is this true for you? Did you enjoy reading books in school? What was your favorite book when you were a child? Is there a book that you have read more than once? What was the title? Was there a book you just couldn't finish? What was the title? Do you listen to music while you read? Do you often read book before go to bed? What factors are important to you when choosing a book to read? A Recommendation from a friend or the front cover of the book?

I strongly believe that the book is better than the movie. There are several factors in my believe. First of all, when you read the book, your imagination makes the characters look differently than the movie shows them. Even if the movie tries to shows the settings close to the book, your imagination still makes it more colorful, more deeper, more detailed. Second, the movie sometimes does not follow the chronicle order of the book. It's always depends on the person who writes the script for the movie. Finally, last but not least reason is the actors. I'm not talking about their appearance, but how they act in the movie. Sometimes when you watch some episodes in the movie, you go in your mind: "What is this actor or actress trying to say?" But it's only my opinion and I don't try to force it on anyone. I just believe that books are always better than movie.

For sure books are better than movies, books are completely portable and have more details than movies, they're enjoyable, Reading books could help us improve our writing skills. I like to read books about history and culture, especially when I'm in a new country. Harry potter is the book that I read it more than once, I used to be in a quiet place when I'm reading a book and I'm not listening to the music during reading, the cover of the book is not important to me but when a friend recommend a book to me I try to read it,

I agree the book is better than movie.I like and enjoy to read books. When I child my favorite book is "CAPERUSITA ROJA" I read this book many times. I never finished reading "THE DA VINCE CODE " I don't like listening to music when I read. when a friend recommended a book I read a book and some times talking about the book. I like fiction books. The books transfer to the other word.

Not always I'm not saying read books is not important is a important part in a students life sometimes you have to try to do new things like see a documentary is a new way to learn but reading books is not my favorite thing but is in my three things I like to do and I enjoy it.

For me, it is better to watch a movie than to read a book, because movie may take you just few hours and book can take you to read months. I enjoyed reading books in school, because it was very interesting to talk about the same book with your friend at school. When I was a child, I liked to read fiction stories. I never had a book that I’ve read more than once. For me it is not interesting to read a book more than once, because you already know what will happen in the end. The title of the book that I couldn’t finish is “Master and Margarita”. I like to listen to a classic music while I am reading. I often read book before I go to sleep. Recommendation from a friend and description are important factors for me.

I do not think that a movie is better than a book. I enjoyed reading books in school. My favorite book was "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". I never read a book twice because it will not be intresting, since you know how the story goes. The title of a book that I couldnt finish is called "Fever". I do not listen to music while I read. I do not read books before bed, but I might read newspapers. When chosing a book to read, it is very important to choose, a book that is easy to understand for you. I belive a recommendation from a friend is a more important factor.

Show me a better movie than read the book, we did not double books in school I do not remember that I read the book when I was a child, I did not read the book more than once, I love to hear soothing music while reading, I like to read a book or magazine before I go to bed, often I like to read the dramatic social stories, not necessarily read a book on the recommendation of a friend or the front cover of the book attracts my attention.

I agree with, most people say the book is better than the movie. It,s true for me because, i can read any time, and repeat which i read many times to know the writing for each words without any mistakes. I enjoyed reading any English book as long as i learn many new words and sentences. The title of the book which i enjoyed reading when i was child ( The Snow White ), most of the books i began to read i finished them. And i don,t listened to music while i read in order to concentrate. I chose an important true story from real life, it,s more interesting and to improve my language in general. at the end, thank you for reading . riyad j

I could say the same thing , often times I like read the book more than see the movie, because I could find the book interesting and usually I can understand much better about the story of the movie. When I was kid I remember I always like read books in the school , in my house or wherever I be. I would say that I inherited from my dad who is a person who likes to read a lot. One of my favorite books when I was kid ,it was Moby Dick. I love this book because that was amazing, funny and touching. I remember I always I used to ask my mom if she could read me one chapter of this book before go to bed . While I was growing up I take pleasure to read different kinds of books. I think that reading is a very important part in each person, it is also a way to discover new things and why not say also to teach others what I learned reading.

I think a book is much better than a move because it deals in details. While the autor describes the event, it is easy to understand the event.

I think books just teach you the academic knowledge, but the moves can pratice the communicating skills. Yes I did. Snow White. Yes, Aesop's Fables. Yes Oxford Dictionary. No. No. At first the book must has pedagogical meaning. Then it shoule has main idea of some positove spirits. Yes, my friends recommended the books called Cinderella and some Fable collections.

I think,it depends on the book.If it's about romance story or criminal story,I prefer watch criminal or romance movie ,because I am hasty and I can't wait for find out the end of the story ,also I can't wait for details,because I'm not really patient.these are main reasons for me.I like watch movies and I know after few hours I can find out the end of the story,but about poem books or scientific book I like read these books for several time,because poem books are like our famous Sadie or Hafez . they are famous poets in my culture .when I read these books,I really enjoy, also about the scientific books, I like read all details because these books help me for my outlook and they can open my brain about the world.

Yes it is true for me the book has more details, but watching the movie is less boring than reading the book. I didn’t enjoy reading all the books at school especially the ones that were boring. I don’t have a favorite book from when I was a child. The books that I have read I have only read once. There were actually two books that I couldn’t finish reading. The titles are 10 Extraordinary Dates and The Greatest. I don’t listen to music while reading, but I do have the television on. Yes I often read before going to bed; it helps me get sleepy. The two factors more important to me when choosing a book to read are the title and summary.

I think book is better then a movie. I enjoy when we read a book I the school ,its so fun and I can learn so many new things. My favorite's book was Les Miserable. I read that book more than 10 times, I loved it so much. Some of the books I couldn't finished, when I was child ,I don't remember their names. I don't listen to music while I read, because I cant focus on my reading. Rarely I read a book, when I go to bed. The important factors for me ,when I choose the book, its writer and how much the book helps to advance my skill.

To be honest I am not one of the book fans except for novel books. But I am really crazy for movies.I usually try to watch movies from every culture. Watching movie is one of my habits in my personal life. Since I can remember I was always movie follower . When I watch I completely forget every thing in the real world and I turn into temporize in another world. I sometimes need to be far away from reality . When I was younger I always placed my self instead of the fictional characters . I was enjoyed that because I really had ambitious personality. But the positive attitude is watch the movies in publisher language specially with subtitle helped me a lot to learn English. I have patient for romance books because i am interest to reach to the end . As I wrote , these are my reasons to like movie and dislike book.

In fact for me I prefer watching movies, if it is talk about the topic that I like, is better because this way is faster to memorized it ,picture,voice even an actor, help me to love and enjoy the story ,especially if that movie talking about history,and literature. This dose not prevent that reading is very important especially out side, at school ,when you wait in clinic physician or any else places that you have to wait when you do your business ,I remember the favorite book for me was merchant of Venice, it is a good story and learned me a lot , and I had a women Riyadh that was an interesting book,it has so many stories in it so I remember I read this book so many times. then I read once a book by the name of independence ,spoke about the Ottoman Empire but I could not finish it. In fact I do not listen to music when I read, but I read every day before going to sleep,and I like to go to Sacramento library in my free time, most of the time the title make me interested to read and choice the books. Reading is very important to our brain and our personalty in my opinion

In my opinion, I think that reading the book before you watch the movie is better because you will be able to practice your reading skills and be a better reader.Some people just watch the movie instead of reading the book. When I was a child i did not read books that much because we did not read books in class,but my parents bought me some books in Arabic I liked them and my favorite one was "cinderlla" I read it more than once because it was my favorite. I personally don't read books before I go to bed and I don't listen to music while reading a book because i won't be able to concentrate on the book. An important factor to choose a book is the cover picture and the title, I usually read the title first. Sometimes My friends ir my children recommend a book for me and I read it.

I really agree with this, I think the book is much better than the movie because when I read some book I can focus on the story more than I watch it in a movie. When I was in the school I remember some books that I enjoyed when I read it. when I was a child my favorite book was " The Giving Tree". when I was a teenager I was liking William Shakespeare's stories especially " The Merchant Of Venice and " Oliver Twist", I read these stories more than two times, they were a wonderful stories. I really like to listen to a quiet music when I read some book. I usually read the book at the afternoons or before I go to the bed. When I choose the book firstly I look to the title if I see something interesting of course I will read it, generally I think I can figure out if the book is amazing to read or not from its title. Whether the reading or watching a good movie I think its so important for us.

I believe that,books is really good but not all the time,like if we need to improve our reading skills so we have to read books and stories to get better.Also the books has more details on the subject.movies are good too for speaking and listening skills,in the other hand movies are really helpful to improve their English fast.And movies just tell the summary of the story and that's perfect so people can't feel bored.my favorite story when I was a child is the Cinderella story i loved that book and it was in Arabic which is my native language.I can't listening to music while i'm reading because I have to focus on the reading to understand everything I read.I like to read a book before i go to bed because reading make me more sleepy at night and that's a good way to get a nice sleep.When i chose a book I always trying to get an interesting one such as sad stories, stories in general ETC.

Every person is different regarding books and movies. I personally like reading books more. During my childhood, I had very little experience with watching movies. I think movies do not give you a chance for your imagination. You just watch it and that is all. If you read a book, you do not see lots of colors or movements, so you brain is making it itself. You can make a picture in your head whatever you like. In my childhood there were some good books, mainly tales about animals. Now I still like to read books. I never listen to music while I read because I think it distracts me from my reading. When I went to college, I read more, but they are English books and related to my classes. Many times I read the book that a friend recommends for me. Also some books have interesting covers, so I want to read it too.

That’s true the book is better than the movie. The book follows the standards but always the movies use a slang words? sometimes I enjoy reading books in school depends on what kind of the books, My favorite book when I was a child is the comic and the scientific books, the aliens book I have read it more than once, the Les Miserable’s book I Couldn't finish it ,I don’t listen to music while I read? Sometime I read book before go to bed, it’s not important the factors to choosing a book to read? The literature books best Recommendation from a friend

I would like to read an interesting book and of course to watch amusing movie. I think both of them are amazing to spend my free time. Some time it dependes for my feeling. If i feel tired, i prefer to read book and i feel better and more energy. Because reading book gives a lot of knowledge, we can find more information. I remember that i read very interesting book when i was teenager. It was about the creation of the life. I liked it a lot.
