undefined  Describe an exciting book that you enjoy reading答案及解析_雅思口语练习「新东方雅思官方网校」

I prefer reading books, personally. I think that some people, like myself, prefer books to films because they enjoy the peace and quiet that reading offers. Reading is a solitary pursuit and for people, like myself, who like spending time alone, reading is a really enjoyable and relaxing hobby. It's also better for personal development, I find. You develop your thinking skills more from reading than sitting and watching films. 

I think that it's best to read the book before watching the movie version, most certainly. But, on the other hand sometimes it doesn't really matter. It actually depends on the story we are talking about to be honest. I think if it's a good quality novel… you know, by a respected author, then yes, it's certainly better to read the book before watching the film. However, for some more quick-fix sensational stories it's fine to watch the film first. 

Generally, I think that boys and girls do like different types of books. Though I think that is changing these days as tastes tend to converge more. Traditionally, anyway, girls used to be more inclined to enjoy stories of romance and love and marriage and things like this, and boys were more drawn to tales of adventure, and mischief and stuff like this. However, of course, these tend to be stereotypes. 

I think, like any other nationality, Chinese people have varied tastes. It depends who we are talking about and what kind of personality they have. People like everything from thrillers, to detective novels, to fantasy, science fiction, adventure, romance… the whole range of genres. I find that people are reading less and less today, in terms of novels, and perhaps that's due to the internet or smartphone use. But, I'd say that popular genres are still romance and crime fiction.
