Reading is important for gaining knowledge, developing imagination and focus, and exercising the mind. It allows people to discover new information, experience places from around the world, and strengthen cognitive abilities. Regular reading provides insights, benefits daily life, and cultivates the mind.

1. The Importance of Reading Today
• Most people do not like reading, especially reading books. They
prefer watching television to reading books. However, many
intelligent people have struggled with reading. Reading is very
important for some reasons.
• Firstly, reading makes us discover new things. Books, magazines,
and even the internet are great learning tools which require the
ability to read and understand what is read. By reading, we can
discover new information and educate ourselves.

2. • Secondly, reading can develop the imagination. With reading, a
person can go anywhere in the world. It means reading makes people
experience many joys endlessly.
• Thirdly, reading develops the mind. The mind is a muscle. It needs
exercise. Understanding the written word is one way the mind grows
in its ability. Reading helps us focus on what someone else is
communicating.
• From those reasons, reading is important for our insight. The
information that we get from reading will benefit for our daily life. The
activity of reading can also develop our mind.

3. • I personally think that reading is a very important activity in our life. Why do I say so?
• Firstly, by reading we can get a lot of knowledge about many things in the world such as
Science, technology, sports, arts, culture, etc written in either books, magazine, newspaper, etc.
• Secondly, by reading we can get a lot of news and information about something happening in
any parts of the world which can we see directly.
• Another reason, reading can give us pleasure too. When we are tired, we read books, novel,
comic, newspaper or magazine on the entertainment column such as comedy, short story, quiz,
etc. To make us relaxed.
• The last, reading can also take us to other parts of the world. By reading a book about Irian Jaya
we may feel we’re really sitting in the jungles not at home in our rooms.
• From the facts above, it’s obvious that everyone needs to read to get knowledge, information
and also entertainment. Or in summary we can say reading is truly important in our life.
