应对
　　It is believed by many that those people who read for pleasure are better in imagination and language skills than those who prefer to watch TV.
　　To what extent do you agree or disagree?

　　这道小作文题目
　　学生在开头是这么表态的：
　　Many people hold the belief that reading has more benefits in terms of imagination and language skills, which I don’t agree with.
　　※ 忽略这句话中的某些informal expressions，我们先来看一下题目。
　　※ 题目中有明显的比较级：better，作阅读和看电视的对比，在这类题目中直接写“I don’t agree with”是不是欠妥呢？读者会有这样的疑惑：不同意的话，意思是watching TV is better than reading，抑或是watching TV is as good as reading？

　　教师修改后如下：
　　Many people hold the belief that reading has more benefits in terms of imagination and language skills. However, I think it does not play as much of a role in this as watching TV does.
　　※ 所以，我们主要调整了表态句，更清晰地向读者传递自己的立场：阅读不如看电视来得有效。
　　※ as … as… 比较结构“和…一样”
