The importance of Reading

I personally think that reading is a very important activity in our life. Why do I say so? Firstly, by
reading we can get a lot of knowledge about many things in the world such as Science, technology.
Sports, arts, culture, etc. written in either book, magazine, newspaper, etc.

Secondly, by reading we can get a lot of news and information about something happening in any parts
of the world which can we see directly.

Another reason, reading can give us pleasure too. When we are tired, we read books, newspaper or
magazine on the entertainment column such as comedy, short story, quiz, etc. To make us relaxed.

The last, reading can also take us to other parts of the world. By reading a book about Irian Jaya we
may feel we’re really sitting in the jungles not at home in our rooms.

From the facts above, it’s obvious that everyone needs to read to get knowledge, information and also
entertainment. Or in summary we can say reading is truly important in our life.

Dear Igon
How are you? Hope everything is okay with you. I’m all right here. We are going to have the national

in preparing for it, especially in science. There are extra lessons in my school and I take them all. But I
