阅读使生活更美好

Reading makes our life better. From childhood, the elders always taught me to be very widely read. I love reading , and I try my best to read a lot,

When I was in the kindergarten, my mother often told me fairy tales. When I was a primary school student, I read a lot of youth novels. After I entered the middle school, I became to love the prose and poetry gradually. When I am in the college, because of my major, usually I read the foreign the classic literature to help my English study. It's very common that while studying any particular course, books help deeper and better understanding than just verbal explanations. Books are of course foolproof and I am sure someone can achieve excellence in his or her academics, if he or she reads often. Reading let me grow up and let me become mature.

Reading books can broaden our knowledge. The first thing that comes to our mind is getting knowledge. Reading books on varied subjects imparts information and increases the depth about the subject as well. It also helps expand our horizons and makes us aware about the facts and figures of the outside world.

Reading books can make me focus. It is quite relaxing and calming when reading. There is no doubt that reading could reduce stress. When we are reading, we put all ourselves into the book. We imagine freely with the words in the book and no one can stop us. When I have a stressful day, a book can easily distract me. Fiction is fantastic for this. Reading an awesome fiction book is perfect right before break time. Though sometimes it’s hard to put the book down if it’s really good. The result is that we could forget all the troubles and just focus on the page when we are reading.

Reading improves our thinking. As we all know, books are the ladder of human progress. Reading contributes in making us more smart and increases our vocabulary and writing skills as well. Obviously, it's during reading that we come across many new words which increase our knowledge strength. It's almost like our brain is working out. Some studies have found that analytical thinking is boosted by reading. Readers improve their general knowledge, and more importantly are able to spot patterns quicker. If you can spot patterns quicker, your analytical skills receive a boost.

Reading helps us make progress in writing ability. It’s no secret that reading increases our vocabulary and improves our spelling. Reading forces us to look at words that we might not have seen or heard recently at the pub. In fact, language in children’s books are likely to be more sophisticated than your average conversation. So, reading makes contributions to the writing.

Reading can broaden our horizons. It's often said that books change lives of people. Some books are really inspiring, may be based on real life experiences or true stories. Some people might get inspired by reading biographies or autobiographies. It could be better to be explained it as 'Book changed my life'.
