　Discussion
Compared with movies, books suit me better. My reasons are as follows. Firstly, books are more wonderful and detailed. However, movies are too simple and brief. To be short, movies often cut off many plots and characters. Secondly, the description of books are more beautiful and imaginative. Movies often change the way of the characters and stories that we imagine, which spoils our feeling. Lastly, books can give me more knowledge and experience. just as a saying goes, “Reading a book seems to come to the world several times.”
