  watch the movie before reading the book

  Movies adapted from novels or biographies are spoilers for book worms. However, the spoiler may actually be a time saver. In addition, without expectations from reading the original books beforehand, the audience are less likely to be disappointed. Therefore, prior to reading the original book, it is preferable for audiences to watch the movie.

  ☆ 開頭段先把接下來兩段分論點總結了，然后自然而然給出本文立場

  It is not unlikely that after days of reading a novel, readers may eventually find they are not intrigued by the book and their time is hence wasted. This is why they should watch movies prior to reading books. Admittedly, movies are time bound. 【虛擬語氣】If movie were to show the same length of time as a book, viewers would be in the theater for days, which is just impossible. Essentially, what a movie does is to cram an entire book of careful character development, emotion building and fantastic dialogue into a 2 hour visual narrative. 【轉折句宜短不宜長，不要包含過多信息量】However, such limitation is not as undesirable as is thought. In fact, it enables book-based movies to give a good general idea of what a story is like. Many audiences, 【插入對于具體何種人的補充說明】especially those who are too occupied to go through hundreds of pages, should therefore watch such movies in advance, since it is not only much quicker than reading books, but also more intriguing than reading the abstract of them. More importantly, the movie-goers can know much sooner whether or not to invest more time in books of long length, and if they are aware that further investment of time is not 【習語】worth the candle, their time will hence be saved.

  ☆ 電影時間短，細節少，只能給出原著的梗概;但這其實這正是該先看電影的原因，因為這樣可以幫助觀眾/讀者決定是否投入更多的時間去讀更長的原著。

  In addition, movies adapted from books are like games of Chinese whisper where nuances are lost in translation. In other words, writers may want to convey a specific mood or emotion which may not be how the movie director interpret. Worse, owing to aforementioned time limitation, directors have to abridge the original book, 【分詞作狀語】making the movie never completely faithful to the original story. In consequence, after seeing movies, the audience who read the original books may be rather disappointed due to the movie’s lack of details and alterations. On the contrary, watching movies first renders the audience to judge it as a movie in an objective way, that is to say, without reading their original book beforehand, those audience would not know how poorly the book-based movies follow its original work. Instead, they simply enjoy the costumes, the music and the cinematography of those book-based movies. Later, attracted by the movie, they may be delighted or even surprised to discover the addition information【同位語補充說明，同時增強與前文的銜接】 – the missed details- from the original book. At this point, isn’t it clear that viewers should watch the movie prior to reading the book? 【結尾寫個反問句簡單高效】

  ☆ 電影可能不能完全忠于原著。因此，先看原著再看電影， 由于細節的缺失和改動，觀眾很可能感到失望;然而先看電影，再去挖掘更多的細節，會有意想不到的快樂

  In conclusion, watching movies ahead of books is a preferable choice, since doing so can avoid disappointment and save time.

  ☆ 結尾段只做立場的重新闡述和觀點的高度濃縮
