Some people say today we don’t need to read to get information ( 信 息 ). These days we have photos, films and television. Why do we read a passage when we can look at a photo? Why do we read a book when we can see a film? Why do we read a newspaper when we can watch TV?

Photos can give us a very clear idea of things. But we also need words to explain (解释) the photos. A photo of an elephant may give us a very clear idea of what an elephant looks like, but it can’t tell us how heavy it is.

In the same way, a good film has pictures, sounds, and music. But reading a book needs you to imagine (想象). A man with good imagination can understand the book better. Each of us imagines a story differently.

Watching news on TV can be exciting. But we need newspapers as well. Some important news stories happen when there are no cameras ( 摄 影 机 ) around. More importantly, newspapers can explain why something has happened (发生).

Reading is part of our life. We need to be good readers to enjoy a full life as a man. Reading is a skill. It needs practice. So read every day!
