Reading. Books
They say “When you open a book, you
open a new world”. Well, who cannot agree with this? Books have become
inevitable to mankind. For most of us, reading is part of our everyday lives. Books
are most often our best pastime, or rather a best friend, the only difference
is that they will never part or walk away from you.
Reading plays a very important role.
It educates a person, enriches his intellect. Books help to mould (формировать) a person's character, form his
moral values. Besides, books bring pleasure and delight. It's a wonderful way
to spend spare time. Sometimes we read the same book again and again. Thanks to
books we learn to express our thoughts and feelings more exactly. A book can be
put aside and taken up again at any moment. There are books which have been our
favorites since childhood.
People are fond of reading different
kinds of books. Some people enjoy reading detective stories, adventures,
novels, biographies, other prefer classics. Fairy tales are enjoyed and read by
children, books about adventures and journeys are enjoyed by those who are fond
of travelling. Legends and myths are read by those who are fond of history. For
some people reading books becomes their free time occupation, their passion.

Reading is like exercise for your
brain. It makes you think creatively. You draw up visuals and imagine scenes
from lines of words written in a prose. And most often, whether we like it or
not, we compare ourselves to the characters in a book. So be assured a good
book with virtuous characters is going to turn you into a better person sooner
or later.
