Growing up with Good Books
My dear friends,
Reading is very important. We can get knowledge through reading. It ca
n not only open our minds, but also make us cleverer and happier. Our study
can be improved if we read more good books. The more we read, the more w
e will learn, and 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 spare 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.
