Topic: 35
Some people like to attend a live performance while others think that watching the same event on television is more enjoyable. To me, I choose watching an event on television because it is easier and not limited and you have choices and can know more details of the event.
Watching an event is easier than attending it. You need only a TV set in your room. You do not have to buy a ticket or drive to the place where the event is performed. You can drink some coffee or tea when you want. But if you attend a concert or a play, you have no the freedom to drink or do something else. In addition, you do not need to worry about the traffic jam and being late for the event, so you have light mood to enjoy the event.
The other advantage of watching an event on television is that you can enjoy it at any time and you can choose what you like from many channels. But if you attend an event and find you have no interest on it, you would regret and waste time and money. Watching it on television can avoid it. If you are interested in the play, you can stay on it; if you are bored it, you can change the channel to find some interesting.
Watching an event on television has an other advantage that you can get more details of the event from the interpretation. You can know the background, the present situation and such information of the event. But if you attend it, you cannot learn more knowledge about it.
So I choose watching an event on television. I think it is more enjoyable than attending a live performance.

Do you like watching TV?Do you watch it regularly?If a living performance is available what, do you think,will you choose,watching TV or attending the performance? But if I were you I will prefer the latter.
Watching TV is boring and exhastive.Just sitting before the grey box will make you sleepy.You can not feel the atmosphere in the auditorium which makes the audiences feel refreshed and excited.You can appreciate all the programs through your own eyes not though the sqare glass screen.
There are many other audiences as well as you sitting there and watching the performance which makes you feel accompanied.And you can communicate with others about what you have just seen or thought.This gives you an opportunity to express your opnion.And you know you are not alone then.
Going to see the performance out of your house is also good to your body.For you may have a walk after the activity even go to a good bar and find something to drink.You can also see some friends after the show.Though I am not very sure about others I will commonly do such things after a concert.It makes me feel great.
So,to take part in a living show is my favorite chioce.Intsead of watching TV I would like to have some performance publically.It is better than the program in TV I think.

Some people like attending live performance rather than watching the same event on television. They think that will be enjoyable. Others like me, however, do not think so. There are no less than three disadvantages in attending a live performance rendered below:
First and foremost,people who will go to a live performance may not see or lister to clearly. Not all seats there are the best place.May be you will feel disappionted after attending it,and you must think the price for ticket is not worth that.
There is another factor that deserves some words here.The quality of the performance will depends on some external factors.Suppose that you go to a concert outdoors.Before you leave home, you have to consider how the whether will be go.It is likely that audiances are wet because of rain during the performance. So, even though the performance is in high quality,you may not feel comfortable more or less.
In addition, attending a live performance may waste your time. You must go there ahead of time,and you have to park.That will spend much time.
I can not deny that attending a live performance has its own merits. Nonetheless, based on the above discussion, I strongly disagree with the opionion that attending a live performance is more
enjoyable.

I do not agree with the statement that attending a live performance such as a play, concert or sport event is more enjoyable than watching the same event on TV, because there are many disadvantages in attending a real performance.
Firstly, there is too much trouble in attending a real performance. You have to buy tickets, sometimes stand in a long queue; you have to plan the trip and set out a few hours before the show started. After arrived at the theatre or stadium, you will have great trouble finding a parking place. During a sport event, your personal safety might be jeopardized: the sports funs might get too excited about the event, and throw bottles. Many people might have heard the news that a girl was killed by a puck during a hockey game. If you take public transport or a taxi home after the show, you might find it very difficult to catch a bus or call a cab.
Secondly, the seating arrangement can greatly affect the comfort of seeing the show. If your seat is far from the stage or playground, you can't even see the show clearly. People's heads and cheers will distract you from viewing the show, and in the end you don't even know whom you have seen in a play, or who wins in a sports event!
Thirdly, there is no flexibility in a real show. After you have been through so much trouble and eventually start to enjoy the show, you might find that you are quite disappointed about the show after all. Unlike watching TV programs, you neither simply change channels nor leave the theatre in the middle of a concert or play. You might spend a lot of money to suffer from a show that you do not like.
On the contrary, watching TV at home, where you can make yourself a cup of coffee, sit back comfortably and relax, watch the show closely, and enjoy the realistic image and sound from your SONY home-theatre system. Besides, you can watch programs whatever you like, and go to bed right when the show has ended.
Although many people enjoy the excitement of watch a real show, I think nothing is more convenient and comfortable than watch TV at home.

To many people, attending a live performance, such as a melodrama, a concert, or a sporting event is so incredibly attractive that they will go all out to get a ticket, regardless of the expense or the difficulty involved. But why not enjoy the performance on television while you can comfortably lie in your sofa or couch with popcorn at hand? That is because attending a live performance provide you with far more enjoyment than watch it on TV.
In a live performance, you will feel that you are in the company of many friends who are indulged in the same interest, who can share your sorrow or pleasure or excitement. This kind of resonance at heart is so rarely sensed in our daily life that this one reason itself is sufficient enough for many people to attend a live performance. While watching it on TV, we certainly find it hard to feel the emotion-sharing, and our loneliness is hardly mitigated.
Furthermore, attending a live performance gives you a sense of participation which cannot be achieved by watching on TV. Live performance is an intercourse between the audience and the performers, and both parts of the performance decide whether it will be a wonderful one. In this way, You may lament or laugh, may sob or smile as you are so influenced by the misfortune or happiness of the characters. You may fall into the indescribable intoxication while listen to a favorite piece of music. And correspondingly, the performers will receive the response of their audience and act accordingly. So the final success of the performance results also from the participation and interaction of the audience, of which you are a member.
With these foregone advantages, we may say that attending the live performance is definitely much more enjoyable than TV watching.
