　　寫作思路展開結(jié)構(gòu)分析

　　同意或者不同意都是偏頗的，所以，要看情況。要看小說的類型和電影創(chuàng)作的質(zhì)量。讀小說特有的好處：閱讀時(shí)間安排上自由;有足夠的想象空間;文字的美感不可替代。看電影特有的好處：聲像(combination of sound and image)結(jié)合帶來獨(dú)特的效果;往往濃縮在150分鐘之內(nèi);優(yōu)秀演員的演繹(the ability to create empathy)帶來不同的理解(interpretation)。有些東西是電影拍不出來的; 有些東西是小說寫不出來的。所以，哪一個(gè)更好不能一概而論。各有各的好處。

　　本話題高分范文賞析

　　Billions of dollars are spent on entertainment every year, in every country in the world. Much of this money is spent on either movies or fictional books, as these two types of entertainment are found to be most enjoyable by the masses. Which, however, is more enjoyable? I posit that these mediums cannot be compared so easily, as they both have their strong points in regards to entertainment. When one reads a fictional book, one is able to let his/her imagination run wild. Everything from the setting to the character descriptions is left up to the reader's mind, and therefore can be quite enjoyable. Depending on the novel, of course, one can imagine far away places just by the description read in the novel. Books are also an excellent form of entertainment as they are portable. If one is on a long commute to work, which is common in Beijing, one can bring along a favorite novel, effectively taking his/her entertainment with him/her. Books can be enjoyed in any setting. They can be picked up on a whim, and put down again to return to at a later time. Movies, of course, also have their own benefits. Movies allow the viewer to be completely engrossed in the plot. There is no need for thinking, as everything is presented to you in a straightforward form. One never has to ponder what a place or a person looks like; the information is all accessible to the viewer. This can be an advantage or a disadvantage, depending on what one is looking for in his/her entertainment. In a society where we want everything faster, better and more exciting, perhaps movies are a more relevant medium. However, movies demand at least an hour and a half of one's time. Books are available to their consumers whenever there is time, which is also an important feature. In conclusion, I believe that neither books nor movies are a more enjoyable form of entertainment. In some cases, I prefer to read a book. In others, a movie is vastly more enjoyable. It is up to the consumer to decide.
