Explain the advantages and disadvantages of watching a video compared to reading about the same topic. Which format do you prefer and why?

SAMPLE RESPONSE: Watching an online video has advantages over reading, because video provides audio and visual explanations. I prefer online video because I can see and hear information, instead of just reading it.

Answer:

When you watch a video on a topic you can see and hear the information when you're reading it then you can't really see the critical information. You can only try to imagine the looks of things and the disadvantage of the video would be that you can't use your imagination. When you read it then you don't get the same experience however the platform I prefer is the video because I can see and hear the information.

Answer:

This basically is an opinion but in my personal opinion, i like to read about the topic. Sometimes you hear the phrase "the book was better" mostly because it hold more information than the actual video itself. This is because of the amount of time they have. If you put all the details into a video that was in a book, it would be extremely long. To conclude, reading is better because it holds more information and you can always re-read it

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps!:D
