Actually both reading novels and watching movies have their advantages. No one is better than the other one. 
随着高技术的发展，电影业在人们的生活中起着重要的作用。随着它的兴起，使很多人都改变了从看小说到看电影的习惯。但有些人仍然坚持阅读小说。其实看小说和电影都有其自己的优点。这是不能比较的。
One the one hand, reading novel is good for cultivating people’s taste. We all knew that reading is a good way to cultivate one's taste. When we are upset, we can calm down by reading novels. What’s more, words are something broad and profound. The writers always can use the broad and profound words to describe the common thing into a special and beautiful thing. Through the writer’s description, our readers can use our own imagination to think, to feel. Different people’s imagination is different. So, various people can get various feeling through the same novel. This is the charming of reading novels.
一方面，阅读小说有助于培养人们的品味。我们都知道阅读是培养一个人品味的好方法。当我们烦躁的时候，我们可以通过阅读小说冷静下来。更重要的是，文字是博大精深的。作者总是可以用这博大精深的文字把一个普通的东西描述成特别的、漂亮的。通过作者的描述，读者可以用自己的想象力去思考，去感受。不同的人的想象力是不一样的。所以，不同的人可以通过相同的小说而获得不一样的感觉。这就是看小说的魅力。
On the other hand, movie is a new way to entertain. Movie has voice and pictures, which is more vivid. Sometimes people can be easier being toughed because of the vivid image. It is more interesting. And movie always has a limit time, which people will not spend too much time on it. It is suitable for people from all age. 
另一方面，电影是娱乐的新方式。电影有声音和图像，更生动。有时人们可以更容易被感动，由于这生动的图像。而且也更有趣。电影总是有时间限制，人们不会花太多时间在上面。这适合所有年龄阶段的人。
To sum up, novel and movie both are good. As for pick up one, it is up to the personal taste. For me, maybe I will prefer novel, because I like reading all the time.
总之，小说和电影都很好。如果要挑一个，则是由个人爱好决定的。对我来说，也许我会比较喜欢看小说，因为我一直都很喜欢阅读。
