you should read more

You should read more… the sentence that always came out from my English lecture. Surprisingly, it was not only Mr. derick who said this during the class lecture, even my last year’s English lecture Mr. kok. I still remember when Mr. kok asked the students about an issue, the whole class will keep silent as we were unable to answer, of course not for all of his questions but almost the things he asked particularly associated with the global issues. It might be some of my classmate knew but they refused to answer, for me the truth was I really did not know about that such things.

Frankly speaking, since in primary school, I could not develop a love of reading though I have tried. Whether to read magazines, newspapers or any books accept for the novels even to watch the news channel, to be honest it was the last program that I would prefer to watch. This is because I easily get bored when reading. Being a primary school-student certainly did not make me realize the significant of reading, the priority at that time were just to read the textbooks for the purpose of getting high marks in examination.

Now, as I continue my study I realize that reading is vital for both academic and professional success. For instance, as a student having adequate knowledge totally beneficial whether in writing essays or for the oral examination that required us to know lots of things. Nowadays World give us variety of reading materials to be chosen for examples we can read the local paper by checking out the news online and books also available for download online. In spite of technology advancements, there is no doubt that the significant of reading has not decreased.

What can we get from reading?? Firstly I would say that by reading we think more and become smarter. For example if we read a novel our brain will try to imagine and interpret the story inside unlike watching television. People often argue reading can improve vocabulary and this is undoubtedly true. While reading books, particularly challenging ones, we will be exposed to lots of new words. Reading books on the other hand, provide information that goes deeper than just classroom discussion. There are many other advantages of reading and I believe everyone knows well about that.

Though I write about this topic, I still want to ask myself, can I make reading as one of my hobbies?? This means that if I have free time I merely have desire to look at reading materials regardless to sleep even to online. I am wondering whether I can do so and is it possible??? Of course as a normal human being, forcing ourselves to do the things that we are reluctant to be is the worse thing but I do realize that I should read more and more. Perhaps books will become one of my attractions. You should read more……………….
