Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Students can learn as much by watching movies as they can learn by reading books.

There is no doubt that reading books is one of the best ways to increase people’s level of knowledge. They are an excellent resource for learning about history, science, and a number of other academic fields since they offer in-depth information on a wide range of topics. On the other hand, movies have the potential to be just as informative as books. I am going to give you three reasons why.

Books have the potential to be more interesting than movies. Let us face it: reading may be a rather boring activity. Reading may be a tough activity for many people since it requires them to remain still for extended amounts of time. Movies, on the other hand, have a much greater ability to captivate audiences. Because they are both aesthetically pleasing and typically feature both action and tension, they have the potential to hold the attention of a viewer for the entirety of the presentation.

It's possible for movies to cover a lot of material in a relatively short length of time. It's possible that a story that would take hundreds of pages to tell in a book may be conveyed in just two hours of cinema. Students who want to learn about a certain topic but have a limited amount of time may find this to be of great assistance. For instance, a movie on the American Revolution may cover a lot of material in a short period. It can describe the war itself in a manner that a book could never accomplish, as well as introduce the important characters, show the significant events leading up to the war, and show the major events throughout the fight.

Films, as opposed to books, have the ability to leave a long-lasting impression. Because movies are so engaging to the eye, people tend to remember them better than reading texts. Students who need to recollect knowledge for the sake of tests or papers can benefit from this. If a student reads a history textbook and then watches a documentary on the same subject, they are more likely to remember the information from the documentary than they are from the textbook. This is a result of the documentary bringing history to life through the use of visuals and music, as opposed to the textbook, which places a predominant emphasis on words. In addition, seeing a movie is likely to be more pleasurable than reading a book, which increases the likelihood that we will pay attention and remember what we have seen on screen.

---------------------
Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:

para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.

So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:

reasons == advantages or

reasons == disadvantages

for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.

or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
