Sample answer from Navneet

A part of crowd opines that live events are more interesting to watch than watching the telecasted one. I completely agree with the given notion, as I believe the if a person witnesses a live event, it enables him or her to enjoy it the fullest, with enthusiasm, which is not the case with television shows.

To commence with, there is a deluge of arguments to prove that live shows are far more enjoyable than the telecasted one. The most pivotal one is that people can not only enjoy and witness the whole situation in person, but also get a chance to meet their favorite celebrity. To elucidate, many people go to The Kapil Sharma show, which is the most liked comedy show in India, and after going there, people express their love and respect for Mr. Sharma and also participate in the activities arranged for the audience. Certainly, live shows are far more interactive and pleasurable.

Additionally, unlike the television shows, where people can only watch what the cameraman wants them to watch, people can enjoy watching all the activities without any editing and that too without any commercial break. Moreover, such events facilitate the socialization, as one can meet people from distinct places. Furthermore, in live events people participate more actively, however television programs do not bring any excitement and viewers watch them just for their entertainment. Undoubtedly, people are more active when they watch live performances.

in summary, watching live shows are more delightful than watching them on television as one can enjoy all the activities of a show in person, which is otherwise impossible.

Watching live performances is more thrilling as compared to the one telecasted on the television. To my perception, the majority of people would choose to attend a live concert if they are given a choice of both. I too agree with the notion that witnessing live shows derives more pleasure than watching the same event on television as one can feel most alive in the moment.

To embark with, there are a variety of reasons why people enjoy concerts, plays and sporting events sitting in a stadium or hall. One of the most enticing reasons includes the quintessence of living in a moment. When people are watching live shows they are completely involved in the activity and they are less distracted. It is because the ambience of the hall filled with crowd, cheering, enjoying and savouring the performance does not let the energy bar to fall. Enjoying music with other listeners contributes powerfully to the concert experience. Also, a live concert lures the neutral audience as people try to synchronize beats with the public to enjoy instead of judging who is singing or what type of song is being played. However, this mood cannot be maintained in a living room sitting on a couch in loose garments where the controller of the pitch is a person with the remote. In addition, TV performances can only rejuvenate true fans as people may switch channels if there is someone they do not admire. Hence, involvement and enjoyment is more in case of live shows or concerts.

Secondly, live performances leave an indelible print on peoples’ minds and it is an icing on the cake if their favourite singers or players are performing. A fan may get a chance to meet their favourite celebrities and role models in person and can have photographs or autographs. For example, a very popular stand up comedian Anubhav Singh Bassi when performing on stage always improvises and involves the audience in his jokes. Some people buy very expensive tickets to sit in the first row of his show to get a chance of verbal interaction. Hence, live shows are more enjoyable and interactive.

In summary, in light of the aforementioned reasons, live shows derive more amusement than the television shows.
