Good morning! Boys and girls,
As we know, nowadays, a lot of students prefer to spend much time in watching TV and they are crazy about Internet. So most of them don't have enough time to read books . And what’s worse, they don't like reading. However, reading is necessary. I firmly think that by reading not only can we enrich our life and broaden our horizons but also we can learn to perfect our personality. Now that reading is good for us, let’s develop a good habit of reading. I strongly suggest that every one of us should read at least one or two good books every term.
