<<      If I have much more time, I want to agree with the statement. If we try to read some novels, it costs three or four days. Though a movie may only be an abstract of a good novel, we can enjoy the movie relatively in a short time. On top of that we can enjoy watching movies with friends, while we read a novel alone in our room. So I want to disagree with the statement in that, we can enjoy our time in a short time with our friends. But I know from my experience that we can enjoy reading even in a crowded train. In the following paragraphs, I want to explain both advantages of movies and books.      Recently I went to a movie theater with my friends. We watched "Harry Potter", which is one of the best cellar books in the world. I read in the newspaper that the book has already sold 100 milion in the world. That means at least 100 milion people know the story to some extent. I wanted to read the novel. Since "Harry Potter" is written for children, I might be able to read it in a few days. I was very wondered if I read the book or not. Then I decided to go to the movie first, and if I was impressed by the story, I decided to try reading it in a book. After watching the movie, I decided not to read it in the book. The story was very simple and that was made for only a child. I was very surprised and shocked. I couldn't understand why this story can be a best sellar in the world. So if a movie and a book of a same story can be available, it is highly recommended that you go to see the movie first.      On top of that, you can enjoy watching the movie with your friends. However the movies are dull, going to a movie theater with friends is enjoyable to some extent. On the other hand, I know some advantages of reading books. It may cost several days if you read some books. But you don't have to read through the book at one time. You can read it using your free time. When I was a high school student, I must go to my school using a very crowded train. Standing in the train without doing nothing is very tough. So I always read some novels in the train. Every time I ride a train, I could read for nealy half an hour, so I could read one book every month.      In conclusion, I love watching movies because I can watch it in relatively a short time and I can have fun time with my friends. On the other hand, if you have much short free time, I recommend you to read it in a novel. By reading a novel, we can create our own imagination of it. Imaging our own world by reading a book might be very enjoyable. Now, I don't have such a time as I had when I was a high school student. I go to my university by bicycle or on foot. So I can enjoy watching a movie much more than reading a book.
