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 books are an excellent source of knowledge. They can provide in-depth information on various topics and learn about history, science, and other academic subjects. Some may argue that only by reading books can students learn much knowledge, while others contend that movies can be just as educational as books. I am inclined to side with the latter.
First, movies can be more engaging than books. Reading can be boring sometimes, as many people find it challenging to sit down and read for an extended period. On the other hand, movies are much more appealing since they are visual and often include action and suspense, which can hold viewers' attention for the entire duration. Movies can thus be more memorable than books, which is helpful for students, especially those who need to cram for exams or papers. For example, a student is likely to remember more details from watching a documentary about Civil Rights Movement than from reading a history textbook on the same topic. He or she can see what the Great March on Washington looked like, hear Martin Luther King's speech "I have a dream," and feel the enormous enthusiasm back then. It is by using these visuals and sounds that the documentary brings history to life, an effect that could never be achieved by reading books.
Not only can films be more attractive and impressive, but they can also cover many grounds in a short amount of time. A typical feature-length movie can tell a story from various aspects that would take hundreds of pages to tell in a book, an advantage that is especially helpful for students who are trying to learn about a particular subject but have a limited amount of time. Take the masterpiece 'To Kill a Mockingbird 'as an example. In the book, the story is told from the perspective of Scout, a young girl who witnesses the trial of a black man accused of raping a white woman. While the book provides much information about the characters and the town, it is limited to Scout's perspective. In the film adaptation of the book, viewers are given a much broader view of the town and its inhabitants. We see the events of the story through the eyes of several different characters, including Atticus Finch, the father of Scout, allowing us to see the events of the story from different points of view and to get a better understanding of the characters and their motivations. Had it not been for the movie edition of the book, the audience would not have been able to learn so much.
In conclusion, movies can be a valuable learning tool for students, just as effective as books.

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.
