短文改錯(cuò)

I have enjoyed reading very much since I was a little schoolboy. Many of

my spare time is spent reading,instead with watching TV. As a middle school.

student, I very busy with my lessons. So during the weekday, I have little

time to read those books I am interested in them. On Sundays, however, I

often seat at my desk reading for hours. Sometimes, I lose myself so deep

in books that I forget to have meals. My sister and brother always considered

me as a bookworm. But I still believe reading bring me a lot of knowledge,

strength, as well as pleasure.
