WHY READING A BOOK IS IMPORTANT IN OUR SOCIETY?

BY NEREA ROJAS #BTO2D

Nowadays many people prefer watching a film rather than reading. They don’t understand that reading is fundamental for us to function in today's society.  A good example of this is when you have to find a job. You may ask yourself the reason. For many well-paying jobs reading is a requirement to work. There are reports and memos that must be read and responded to. Poor reading skills increases the amount of time it takes to absorb and redact in the workplace.

In my opinion, it is important because spoken and written words are the buildings blocks of life. You are transformed by the words that you have heard or read. What you become in the future will depend on the amount of time you spend to enrich your vocabulary now. People, families, relationships, and even nations are built from words .Think about it. What you learn about books will help you along all your life. You will need this ability if you want to access to higher education because you have to pass a competitive examination, in which they value your verbal skills and your level of understanding. Besides, you can discover a lot or interesting topics, like society, relationships, or history.

In conclusion, people should read more books and realize that this is a very important habit nowadays. So we should promote it.
