Reading can be good for people in many ways. Reading gives us information about other cultures and places of the world. When we read, we may find many things that we don't know. We would have to use our head to think about them or do more reading to find out the answers. The more we read, the more we know. The more we know, the smarter we become. What's more, reading is also one of the most important ways to learn a foreign language like English. We all know that it is difficult to learn everything in the classroom, such as the ways English people are speaking and writing today. Reading helps us.
"Reading makes a full man." Bacon said. Therefore, it is necessary for us to spend time on reading every day.
