Sample answer: Faced with countless media of information age, quite a few people claim
that the book should be the most effective tool, but other people consider the radio as the
obvious winner. In my view, when it comes to the efficiency of communicating information,
nothing beats the television.

Books have become information media at a very early time. I hold a view that the most
important value of books is that they can be preserved for a long time. For example,
researching documents which our forefathers left us are items of great historic significance.
However, it is not convenient for people to carry piles of books. Besides, with the fast
development of modern society, the update for books is far from meeting the social
demands for the latest information.

Radio and television are products of industrialization and informatization. They both can be
used for spreading latest information even some instant messages. Radio is portable for
individuals to carry around, while television is able to provide information satisfying people
both ears and eyes. What is more, with the development of modern technique, an
increasingly number of portable televisions have been invented and put into production. It
seems that television is the most effective way for communicating information.
Nevertheless, because the information, which is conveyed via radios and television, draw
more attention on current events, and often cannot analyze a topic deeply, people still need
books to add essential supplements.

In conclusion, books, radio and television each has its own advantages and disadvantages,
and has an irreplaceable place in human history. Among these three media, television is the
most effective one now. However, it is possible that with the rapid development of modern
technique, scientist will invent a comprehensive media tool which can absolutely meet
various demands for communicating information.
