I know a lot of people that prefer to play video games over reading.Personally,I love to read.You might be wondering why.If you are,it probably means that you do not realize the advantages to reading.
First of all,reading helps to gain knowledge.From all the different types of books you read,you will definetely learn a lot,which is also why they make you smarter.Believe me,even fiction books can teach you knowledge,so don't let that be your excuse for not reading.
Also,reading opens up your mind.Books gives your imagination space to imagine the situation the author described in your way.This is alos why books are better than movies in my opinion.
Books make me happy.Whenever I feel stressful or frustrated,I sit down and read.It helps me to forget all the problems that are bothering me.
Last but not least,books have helped me to grow as a person.Ever since I learned the alphabet,books accompanied me everywhere I go.That is surely going to continue in the future and you should follow my example!
