Books are the best source of knowledge and information. Reading daily, develops our imagination and provides us good knowledge. Reading books increases our vocabulary. They give us a chance to enter a new world which might not be a reality and which enables our imagination to run wild. There are many types of genres of books. There are biographies which give us an insight into the lives of other people, their achievements and their struggles. Reading such books increases our knowledge of History, teaches us about great personalities which have contributed in shaping the world. Reading in my opinion, is a better pastime than watching television. Reading is a habit that should be encouraged by our elders. Reading helps us in overcoming our boredom.

“Reading is the gateway skill that makes all other learning possible.”
