How reading improves my English
Reading plays an important role in my English learning.
Firstly, I find that my spoken English has greatly improved through reading. It gives me confidence when I talk in English. Secondly, reading helps make writing easier for me. When I do English reading, it reminds me how words are spelled correctly. So I make fewer and fewer mistakes in my English writing. Thirdly, reading develops my thinking ability. What I've read makes me open-minded and enables me to think more. What's more, reading helps me develop a good habit of learning English.
In a word, reading brings me not only much joy but also great interest in English learning.
