Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:
It is better to relax by reading a book or watching a movie than by doing physical exercise.

看书看电影与健身锻炼相比，哪个是更好的放松方式？

题目解析

上周才考完一道跟电影相关的话题，这周又考。不同的是，上一场是新题，这一场是重复2014年5月17日的旧题，更早则在2010年10月17日就出现过。

如果选择读书看电影让人放松，可以谈及书和电影中的情节会吸引人，让人沉迷其中，忘却脑中各种烦恼。同时，看书和电影本身就是一项非常安静的活动，可以很好地放松整个身体。

如果选择健身锻炼让人放松，可以谈及运动时，走走跑跑等都是在舒展四肢，运动后人通常都会觉得非常舒服。而且运动时，感受着脚踏在地上，风吹在脸上等，人往往感觉很愉悦，也能忘记日常生活中的压力。

当然，托福独立写作本来就不曾排斥居中写法，本文就是从disagree的角度，探讨两种方式各有千秋，并无优劣之分。

参考范文

I disagree with the statement that reading a book or watching a movie does a better job of relaxing than engaging in physical exercise.

Since most homo sapiens lead an overly sedentary life, physical exercise provides them with an almost completely different mode of life – a more active lifestyle. When one feels tired or stressed, it does not follow that working out would make things worse, because physical activities, even just for a few minutes, help to relax the muscles and relieve the tension in the face, neck, shoulders and other body parts. Alvin Oldman, a lead researcher of NC Health Center, emphasized that people who exercise regularly feel more energetic throughout the day, sleep better at night, and feel more relaxed and positive about themselves and their lives.

Then what about those who are not so enthusiastic about taking exercise or those blue-collar workers overburdened by everyday manual work? Reading a book or watching a movie would probably be preferable to them. They might curl up on the sofa at the end of the day, either opening their favorite detective series or travelling memoirs and reading voraciously for over an hour, or turning on the television and switching to a movie channel to enjoy horror or action movies as much as they could. In the light of the diversity of books and movies, it is safe to say each one is bound to have a good relaxing experience. After all, the distraction of being taken into a wonderland created by the author or director eases the tensions in muscles and helps them escape from the worries and stresses of the everyday world.

Which way is better to relax, of course, varies from one person to another. According to some psychological studies, a vast majority of people would indulge in eating to calm their frazzled nerves. Meanwhile, other studies point out that males tend to play computer games to relax while females often consider shopping as an effective way for relaxation. Therefore, as to the above statement, I honestly do not believe it is better to relax by reading a book or watching a movie than by doing physical exercise. They are just two different ways that could work for different people.
