Reading for pleasure is the easiest way to become a better reader in English．It is also the most important way．

Some students say they don't want to read for pleasure．They say they want to use their time to learn the rules of the language and new words．They say that pleasure reading is too easy．

Many experts(专家) say pleasure reading is very important for learning English．Dr. Stephen Krashen, a famous expert on learning languages, says that pleasure reading helps you learn many important things about English．Students learn more grammar and more words when they read for pleasure．They also learn more about good writing．Dr. Krashen tells us that pleasure reading helps each student in a different way．Each student needs to learn something different．Pleasure reading makes it possible for each student to learn what he or she needs．
