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

Throughout history, students have various methods to study and learn the class materials. Although some people argue that kids can only acquire significant knowledge through reading books, I believe that movies may be just as informative as books. I will elaborate the reasons in the subsequent paragraphs.

First, movies may be more fascinating than literature. Reading may be tedious at times, as many individuals find it difficult to sit still and read for lengthy periods. Movies, on the other hand, are far more engaging since they are visual and frequently contain action and suspense, which may retain viewers' attention for the duration. Thus, movies can be more remembered than texts, which is advantageous for students, particularly those who must prepare for examinations or papers. For instance, a student is more likely to retain information from a documentary about the Civil Rights Movement than from a history textbook on the same topic. He or she may see what the Great March on Washington looked like, listen to Martin Luther King's address, and experience the fervor of the time. The documentary brings history to life via the use of these images and sounds, an impression that could never be produced by reading texts.

In addition to being more appealing and stunning, films may also cover a great deal of territory in a short amount of time. A normal feature-length film may present a tale from several perspectives that would need hundreds of pages in a book, which is especially advantageous for students with limited time who are attempting to learn about a certain topic. Consider the literary classic "To Kill a Mockingbird." In the novel, Scout, a little girl who observes the trial of a black man accused of raping a white lady, narrates the narrative. The book contains a wealth of information about the individuals and the town, but only through Scout's perspective. In the film version of the novel, the town and its residents are depicted in considerably greater detail. We experience the story's events through the eyes of other individuals, including Atticus Finch, Scout's father, allowing us to observe the story's events from diverse perspectives and to gain a deeper understanding of the characters and their motivations. Without the film adaptation of the book, the audience would not have gained so much knowledge.

In conclusion, much like books, films may be a useful learning tool for pupils.

---------------------
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.
