it is a vehicle for reflection. I believe there's something undeniably special about reading. I don't just love to read books but I also love to talk about them.
Reading is no longer a popular choice among
children when asked about their favourite past times.Therefore, the internet and smartphones have roles in the losing interest for books though not the act of reading itself.
Reading is important because it develop the
mind. Understanding the written words is one way the mind grows in its ability. Teaching young children to read helps them develop the skill of language. Its also helps them learn to listen.
A child reading skill are important to their
success in school as they will access the breath of curriculum and language skill. In addition, reading can be fun and imaginative time for children which opens all kind of new doors for them.
Nevertheless, I still prefer to read books
compared to reading from the internet. E-book may save space or prevent clutter but they will not give the same pleasure and satisfaction of reading a physical book. Imagine curling up on bed with your favourite novel after a tiring day. It sure beats reading off a computer screen or even from your phone.
Its also feels good to see my book collection on
the shelf where I can touch and read them anywhere, anytime. If the books are care for well, it will still be in good condition even for the next thirty to forty years. I still have my Enid Blyton series and a set of incyclope‐ dia that my parents bought for me. In addition, I also keep some classic novels that have been reprinted.
It is easier to share printed books with family
members and friends. Sharing E-book may not be that user friendly because not everyone have the special application to enable them to share or download an E-book. The elderly may prefer to read books the old fashion way too!
I love reading travel books which enable me to
explore the country on my own. The descriptive words enrich my vocabulary and help me to improve in my essay writting. I may not gain the real experience of visiting a certain country but I get some knowledge on its geographical background, the people, food and culture.
I believe that a person who can write has a spe‐
cial talent. Marketing can get the book to be sold but a book that captures the heart of a reader depends on its contents. Anyway, I support this authors and bud‐ ding writters by buying their books. Buying their book certainly help the authors and writters to earn a living.
Reading give us pleasure to go by the flow of the
book that we read. There are some book that we might have experience in our life. Book can tell us about his or her stuggles and victories. That way, we can learn on mistakes of others and save ourselves from solving an actual problem.
Book can teleport us to a whole new world show
us the wonders of that world, the people and open a whole new perception of book to me. So, I think everyone should love to read books as I do.
