Reading is a good habit

Reading makes a man perfect. It’s a famous proverb. We should spend our leisure time reading. Then we can learn about the world. Information is very important in present times. We can also understand good and bad things by reading books. Reading is like meditation. We can improve patience through reading. Most Sri Lankan people like to read books. Therefore, Sri Lankans have a high literacy rate. In developing countries people read a lot of books. In the good old days people couldn’t read because at that time there were no books like today. We are lucky because there are plenty of books to read. I advise my friends to cultivate the habit of reading.
