托福独立写作素材：看电影和读书
【独立写作思路】
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
It is better to relax by watching a movie or reading a bookthan doing physical exercises.
【题目思路解析】看电影和读书的方法是比运动更好的放松方式。
比较接近生活的一个话题，哪种方法才能达到更好的放松效果呢，既然是放松，我们可以从身体放松和精神放松两方面去考虑究竟所运动好还是读书看电影好。
Disagree：就体育而言，做运动可以提高身体素质，活动四肢的同时去释放压力，改善精神状态，从而达到身体得到放松的目的。其次，精神上的烦恼也会使得人们压力增大，而很多体育运动需要参与者具备团队合作的意识，因此在这一过程中通过跟他人协作及沟通，专注于喜欢的事情，从而暂时的忘掉烦恼，甚至有可能通过跟他人的沟通，获取灵感解决生活、工作中的烦心事。
Agree：就读书和看电影而言，两个方式都可以使人们全身处于一个相对静的状态，客观上来可以使身体得到休息，不会导致由于过度运动而带来的额外的身体疲劳，如果一个人在已经很疲惫的状态下再去进行运动量大的活动，身体会吃不消，甚至有可能身体素质跟不上出现扭伤等意外。其次，阅读对于人们专注度的要求以及电影内容带给人们心灵慰籍的特点也使得人们可以在这两项活动中得到精神的放松。
分论点供大家参考：
1. Physicalexercises innately require people to put in more energy in practicing, whicheasily generates physical tiredness and exhaustion experienced during exercise.
2. Thefeatures of reading books and watching movies themselves make it possible forpeople to relax psychologically.
【论证素材】
托福写作话题多样，但更多的都趋近于生活类，关于读书可以让人放松的话题，很多同学反馈在展开论证时，论据不够充分，其实已经有很多文章、报道、实验研究了读书的种种好处，下面给大家提供一些可供参考的素材，是Telegraph的一段报道节选，适当整合便可以作为实验调查论据。
According to the survey carried out in a group of volunteers at theUniversity of Sussex, reading works better and faster than other methods tocalm frazzled nerves such as listening to music, going for a walk or settlingdown with a cup of tea. This is because, psychologists believe, the human mindhas to concentrate on reading and the distraction of being taken into literaryworld eases the tensions in muscles and the heart. Furthermore, whatever books onesread, by losing themselves in a thoroughly engrossing book, they can escapefrom the worries and stresses of the everyday world and spend time exploringthe domain of the author's imagination.
