| How Do You LIke Reading ? |
There is a saying that book is the window of the world. Have you heard of
that? Well, I have, a long time ago.. And how can we open the window? There is only one answer to that:
through reading.
Maybe
some of you ask, why reading? For one thing, by reading we can broaden our
knowledge. We can also enrich our vocabulary if we like reading books in
language other than ours. And, by reading we can visit places without having to
go there.
Nowadays we can find a lot of books to read,
from easy reading materials to the heavier ones. It is for us to choose which
we prefer, which we like better. Some people prefer comics because they provide
entertainment. But some others might choose something more ‘intellectual’ like
biographies or books for knowledge.
To
develop reading as a need or a habit is not as easy as turning our palms,
though. It takes time, and usually starts in the family. Parents who like
reading can pass down the hobby to their children so it will stay with them. Of
course the parents should be selective in choosing the reading materials for
their children, because there are many trash reading materials available in
book stores. The pictures or stories are not proper for the children’s age.
Another question...how can we afford to
buy the books? It is not a secret that books’ price is expensive. Many people
have to save their allowance to buy the book they like. Come on, it’s a modern
era..why don’t we just browse in the internet and find what we need and
download it? If we can’t get a paper-book, let’s get an e-book.
The point is...how big is your interest in
reading? If you’re really into reading, there are a lot of ways for you to get
the material. When there is a will, there is a way. And please don’t forget,
God has told us to READ... The whole world is open for us to read. So, happy
reading!!
