Why is reading so important? Joseph Addison once said, “Reading is to the mind what exercise is     the body.” I am sure you     have heard this quote. Reading is a great hobby,       makes you discover yourself. Reading good stories can help you solve some problems in your own life. Besides, reading      sets a good example to younger generations.

Sadly, people nowadays seem to have totally lost interest in this activity. Children are busy with computer games,       adults use their cell phones or computers to search for information.      seems that people have forgotten     importance of reading. Anybody can use the Internet to look for information, but the sources are     as reliable as a book.
To open a book is always beneficial! Don’t spend all your spare time on the computer screen or cell phones.
