开卷有益 The Value of Reading

As
the saying goes, “no matter how much one has experienced, he cannot enrich his
knowledge without reading books.” When we started school in childhood, we were
told that the significant value of reading for our lives.

In
the first place, reading is a good and convenient way for us to enrich our
knowledge and broaden our horizon. The more books we read, the more knowledge
and information we acquire. Therefore, it would be better to read widely and
variously. In other words, we should not only read avidly the books about our
major, but also spend some time in reading other books cursory so that we can
acquire the wider knowledge and broaden our horizon. Second, reading widely is
an important way to extend our thoughts and shape our characters. As the more
reading we do, we are easier to think creatively and logically, and easier to
understand human beings and the world, and easier to become an ideal people.
Just as the saying goes, “good books are like a wise and nice man of last
generation, who supports me to walk forward, and helps me come to understand
the world.” Last but not the least, reading can yet be regarded as a good
choice to relax and entertain ourselves. Compared with other ways for
entertainment, reading is more convenient and quiet.

In
a word, reading is significant in our lives and we should value the chance to
read and read more.
