Reading is a very useful hobby. It helps us spend our leisure time in a useful manner. Books can be regarded as our friends. “Reading makes a full man,” said Francis Bacon.
I’m a member of the school library. I borrow two books at a time. One of them is a Sinhala book and the other one is an English book. I can keep them for a period of two weeks.
We get pleasure by reading novels and short stories. We can learn good qualities of great persons by reading their biographies. We can improve our knowledge by reading novels, short stories, magazines and newspapers. It is said that knowledge is power. The best way to gain knowledge is by reading books.
