七、 Growing up with Good Books
My dear friends,
Reading is very important.We can get knowledge through reading.It can not only open our minds but also make us cleverer and happier.We can improve our grades if we read more good books.The more we read,the more we will learned the brighter our future will become. However,some students spend much time in listening to music,watching TV or going online to play games.It takes much of their free time.So I would like to suggest that everyone should read more books,especially read classics so that we can spread our Chinese traditional culture to the world.
Let's start reading now.And let it become a part of our life.
