Question

People read books less often these days. With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are still an important part of our lives.

Books offer the outstanding wealth of learning and at a much lower price than taking a course. Books can make people much cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people are.

Everything in today's society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone may not understand them and become very sick or even die.Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could as become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.

Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time. Even if we don't read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen (加強) our reading abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time. With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives. So I think people should read books.
