The Importance of Reading

I personally think that reading is an important activity in our life. Why do I say so?

Firstly, by reading we can get a lot of information about many things in the world such as science, technology, sports, arts and culture.

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

Thirdly, reading can give us pleasure. When we are tired, we can read books, newspapers or magazines on the entertainment column such as short stories, comedies or quizzes to make us relax.

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

Based on the facts above, it is obvious that everyone needs to read books, newspapers, magazines or others to get knowledge, news, information and also entertainment. In other words, we can say reading is truly important in our life.
