Personally I 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 books, 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 relax.
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.
