"Reading makes a perfect man" is a famous saying that we are familiar with. Only a person who reads knows how true this saying is.
In modern society, many people can read books as they are educated but presently people do not spare time to read. Reading is a good hobby as well as a good habit. It carries us to another world which is full of magic and imagination.
There is a wide range of books, newspapers, magazines and articles. We can buy books from bookshops and borrow books from the library and share books with friends to widen our knowledge.
Reading teaches us about different cultures, traditions and languages. It teaches us how changes happen in different cultures and how they differ from each other. Simply, it teaches about multi-cultures and multi languages and how we should work together with all these cultures and languages.
Reading gives us many advantages. We must gain from these advantages as much as possible. It helps us to have a bright future. It is good to read as much as possible and widen your knowledge.
