Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Proverbs 105. The proverb today is a

picture is worth a thousand words. Okay.  Let's take a look at the note here. This

比較級形容詞

proverb basically means pictures often express information in a quicker and

more effective way than words do. Okay. Let's continue. The proverb has been

around for a very long time and you can find it in many citings

from the 17th century on. You know especially after that. Some others say

meaning some other people say or claim,  it may have originally been a Chinese

proverb because there is a an old Chinese proverb that is translated as one

picture is worth ten thousand words. So it's a lot more words,  but still it's

exactly the same idea. Okay. Let's continue. The use attributed to bring

this phrase to the US is Frederick R Bernard ,

is Frederick or Bernard who wrote an article about how effective graphics in

advertising use are. The name of his article is one look is worth a thousand

words. Yes. Because he wanted to stress this and he did actually mention the old

proverb and I think he did say the proverb came from Asia. Although he might

have claimed he came from Japan,  but still you know he helped to bring this

phrase to be much more commonly used in the US. All right. Let's continue. Let's give

a couple of examples here. Example number one., You need some illustrations and

diagrams. This material is too technical.  Remember a picture is worth a thousand

words. Okay. It is a perfect way that it could be used. Or number two, Many

children's books are filled with drawings and pictures because it is more

entertaining.  That's one main reason and and their

vocabulary is limited. So you need these pictures to really help to tell part of

the story. Remember a picture is worth a thousand words. Okay. Anyway,  I hope you

got it.  I hope it's clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
