Today we have many ways to learn and enjoy ourselves. But why do many people still do some reading every day?

First, reading books is fun. You can always make your friends feel happy if you like reading. This is especially useful when the weather is bad. It is a relaxing hobby too. You can really become lost in a book.

Next, you can read a book in a car, in a waiting-room, on a plane, in bed – even in the bath. All you need is a book! Reading is a convenient (方便的) hobby as it is easy to stop and then start again.

Another good reason for reading books is that it is useful. If you read as a hobby you will get better and better at it. This means that you will read faster and will become better at understanding what you read. As your reading improves, you will probably find your schoolwork becomes much easier. Many school subjects depend on good reading and, as you read, you learn more and more.

Some people say that reading is out of date（过时）. This is not true. You have to be able to read to use a computer, and the better you read, the better your computer skills will be. Reading is hardly out of date!

Good readers are most likely to be good writers, too. They are usually good at spelling as well, and have more things to write about. Reading books is a wonderful hobby. What other hobby could be more useful, or more enjoyable!
