Children today have many things to play with. They can watch television, surf   Internet, or play video games. But what do you think children   (do) for fun long ago?

They read books.

Some of you might ask, "Are books  (real) fun?" Believe it or not, books provide many things that television or computers cannot. Since books use only words  (tell) a story, they can improve your imagination. You can picture the characters and background in your head and you can also imagine  the characters feel.

The words and sentences that are used in storytelling are also very interesting and usually cannot (find) often on television or on websites. They are sometimes so beautiful and touching   they can bring tears to your eyes.

Books also help us to think harder and  (deep). As we continue to read, we ask questions to  (our) and try to find answers.

These are some of the   (reason) why books are so fun to read.

Remember: the more you read, the more you grow.
