World Reading Day falls on April 23 every year. It's a day about reading books and it mainly encourages people to read more. Some of you might ask, "Are books really fun?" Believe it or not, books can provide us with many things that TV plays cannot.

Since books use words or pictures to tell us a story, books can help us to improve our imagination. While we are reading, we can imagine the characters and background in our mind, we can also imagine how the characters feel and sometimes manage to feel how they feel. Some certain sentences in the story books are also very interesting. Sometimes they are so moving and beautiful that they can bring tears to our eyes.

Books can also help us to think harder and deeper. As we continue to read, we ask questions to ourselves and try to find answers. Remember: the more you read, the more you grow.
