Dear friends, Reading is very important in our daily life. First of all, reading can help us get knowledge from all kinds of books. It can also help to open up a whole new world to us. Second, reading will make us clever and happy. It is good for our study and it can help us grow up. Third, reading can help us think more and further and make our life more colourful. However, there is usually so much homework for us to do that we don’t have enough time for reading. Moreover, some of us don’t have a good habit of reading but often spend too much time watching TV and searching the Internet. In my opinion, our school can have a “Reading Week” once a term. Teachers should encourage students to borrow books from the library. We must spend more time reading some useful books. As a result, we can have a better future.Let’s start reading now! 1. advice n.
