3. Lời giải chi tiết

- I think that a film is more effective in raising people's awareness of protecting the environment than a book.

Here are some reasons why:

Films are more visually appealing. They can use stunning visuals to show people the beauty of the natural world and the damage that we are doing to it. This can be more effective in grabbing people's attention and making them think about the issue.

Films are more engaging. They can use music, sound effects, and storytelling to create a more immersive experience for the viewer. This can make people more likely to pay attention to the message of the film and be moved to take action.

Films are more accessible. They can be watched by people of all ages and educational backgrounds. This means that they can reach a wider audience and have a greater impact.

- Books can also be effective in raising awareness of environmental issues, but they have some limitations. For example, books can be more difficult to read and understand than films. They can also be less engaging and visually appealing. Of course, there are some environmental

issues that are best addressed through books. For example, a book on the science of climate change would be more effective in educating people about the issue than a film. However, for raising awareness of environmental issues in general, I believe that films are more effective.

- Here are some examples of films that have been effective in raising awareness of environmental issues:

An Inconvenient Truth (2006)

Chasing Ice (2012)

Our Planet (2019)

Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret (2014)

Seaspiracy (2021)

These films have all been praised for their ability to educate and inspire people to take action to protect the environment.

Overall, I believe that films are more effective than books in raising awareness of environmental issues because they are more visually appealing, engaging, and accessible.
