Ricardo Rocha Mello
Reading a good book is one of the best entertainments, it increases your knowledge, culture, it makes you relax and it is better than watching TV. People, who are used to read books, usually are less ignorant than people who do not read books. It happens because who usually read books also read papers, magazines and on others subjects and they absorb knowledge naturally. I think I do not have a favourite kind of book, it is easier to ask me what I do not like than what I like. I have read books about many subjects, such as fantasy, fiction-history, epics and classics.
When you read a good book you need to use your imagination and creativity to create the story in your mind, so when it happens you are inside of the story, and during moments of action or emotion your body reacts to these moments like if you were living the moment. So you increase your heartbeat and the level of serotonin, and it makes you feel happy and healthy, and reduces the probability of depression.
Reading a book increase your vocabulary range, improves your grammar, and you can use what you learn from the book in your personal life or your job.
These are some reasons why I like to read books.
Interesting article Ricardo, but I can not agree with you when you say that usually people who don´t read are more ignorant that people who do. There is nothing such as life experience,and the most important and useful things in life are not written in books.
ReplyDeleteI am not aware of the hormonal process that is involved while reading, but certainly reading makes you feel a huge variety of emotions and it helps improving lots of skills such as vocabulary and comprehension.
However, from my point of view, it is impossible to generalize and say that people who read have a bigger knowledge or are more intelligent, but I am pretty sure that they are missing a very exciting enjoyment.
I fully agree with you both. Reading is good, fun and fruitful, but if you spend all your time just reading you will miss the real life experience that can teach you so much more, as David says. Remember D. Quijote de La Mancha
ReplyDeleteI agree with you! Reading is the good thing to study English. But I hate reading books. How should I do?
ReplyDeleteWe can increase the vocabulary by reading books and also get some knowledges.
