Reading is a fundamental skill that plays a vital role in our lives. It’s not just about
deciphering words on a page but about the doors it opens, the knowledge it imparts,
and the world it allows us to explore. Reading is an essential tool for learning,
expanding our horizons, and fostering imagination. When we read, we acquire
knowledge. Whether it’s reading textbooks, news papers, or online articles. We gain
information that helps us understand the world. Books are a treasure trove of
knowledge. They contain the wisdom of generations, the discoveries of great minds,
and the stories of diverse cultures. Reading books can educate us on history, science,
literature, and countless other subjects. It’s like having a mentor, guiding us through
the complexities of life.
Reading skills develop critical thinking, analytical skills, and the ability to
communicate well. A person who reads regularly has a broader vocabulary, better
writing skills, and can express his thoughts and ideas.
E-books and audio books have made reading more accessible and convenient. There
is something timeless and intimate about holding a physical book, flipping its pages,
and smelling the scent of paper and ink.
Reading is a cornerstone of education, personal growth, and cultural enrichment. It
empowers us with knowledge, broadens our perspectives, ignites our imagination, and
equips us with essential skills. Reading is a journey that enriches our lives and shapes
us into more informed, empathetic, and creative individuals.
Answer the following questions
i) What are some of the benefits of reading mentioned in the passage?
ii) How does reading broaden our horizons and foster empathy?
iii) What role does reading play in developing critical thinking and communication
skills?
iv) What are the advantages of reading physical books compared to digital formats?
