We
do so many activities for entertainment, but one is really missing a lot out on
a lot if he/she doesn’t read. Reading is one of the best habits one can
inculcate since it helps you relax, is a source of entertainment, and improves
your language.
Creating
a bedtime ritual of reading makes it a lot easier to sleep. That’s why it’s
better to turn some pages instead of staring at a screen before switching off
the light.
Another
example on how reading relaxes you, is that it takes you away from the stresses
of everyday world and makes you explore the amazing worlds in books. For
example, if you just came from a long day at work, you can open a book and
travel through its events, places, and times.
Add
to that, reading is a great way of entertainment. Its much cheaper than going
to the theater or many other forms of entertainment. You can read for free in
public libraries! Why would you waste your time on pricy entertainment
activities when you can benefit from reading?
Reading
also enriches one’s language. The more you read, the more words you are exposed
to, the more your vocabulary expands. Plus, reading has a huge impact on one’s
writing. For instance, if the book’s author uses similes and metaphors, you’ll
find yourself automatically using similes and metaphors in your own writing.
When
you develop the habit of reading, you are relaxing, entertaining yourself, and
helping your language at the same time! Reading is an experience of seeing a
whole new world!
