Benefits of Reading
Reading and having access to books are things that many of

us
today, in the developed world should take for granted. We are
made to learn to read in school but most of us dont think twice
about being able to read. I would say that reading is a relaxing
and enjoyable activity, but many people dont like reading. It is
because they think that book is unimportant or maybe because
we are in the digital age of information with various media,
video, and other entertainment being widely available.
Whatever the reason is, it seems that now less people are
reading books. In my opinion we must spend some of our time
for reading. If you dont have money to buy some books there
will always be a library near your place, because reading books
whether fictions or non-fictions has many benefits for us. By
reading books we can improve our memorizing skill, get more
knowledge, and have an enjoyable and relaxing activity.

Firstly, Reading books will improve our memorizing skill. For

us, being able to memorize things faster and longer is
important, it will make our study easier because we will
remember the material easily, and when the teachers are
explaining their lesson we can remember the material faster so
we will not be left behind when the teachers are explaining it
fast. Many studies show if you dont use your memory, you will
lose it. Crossword puzzles are an example of a word game that
staves off Alzheimers. Reading, although it is not a game, helps
you stretch your memory muscles in a similar way. Reading
requires remembering details, facts, literature, plot lines,
themes and characters. While reading, we will unconsciously
memorize the plotline and the character of the story, it was
proved by the fact that someone who reads books will almost
remember all the contents of the book such as the plotline or
characters. By how often you read books in a day or a week or
maybe a month your memory will be trained and it will definitely
increase your memorizing ability. As your memorizing skill
increases you will definitely be able to memorize things faster
and longer.

Secondly, its no secret that reading books get you more

knowledge. Finding a new vocabulary, new information about
the world, and many more. Reading expands your horizon of
information. Youll always have something to talk about. You can
discuss various plots in the novels you read, you can discuss the
stuffs you are learning in the business books you are reading as
well. The possibilities of sharing become endless. For most
people studying and getting knowledge are something you do at
school or when you do your homework at home. Those people
dont know that reading books is an excellent way to get more
knowledge. In fact, those who read books have higher scores in
school or university, higher intelligence, and know more general
knowledge. Its no matter what books you read whether nonfiction or fiction there will be new things that you learn.
Knowledge is important because no matter what you want to be,
you cant do it without more knowledge. Reading makes you
smarter and keeps giving you knowledge and it also keeps your
mind sharp as you age.
Lastly, besides improving memory and knowledge, reading
books in fact can be a relaxing and enjoyable activity. When you
have nothing to do and are too lazy to go out, books can be the
alternative to help you enjoy and relax at home. I am sure that
all of us will feel bored when there is nothing to do or there isnt
anybody we can talk to, but we could get rid of our boredom by
playing with friends or maybe hang out with friends. Actually
other than those options there is an option that doesnt use
energy and we can also relax our muscles from any tiring day
and the option is to read books. It improves our memory, gives
us more knowledge, and at the same time it can be a relaxing
and enjoyable activity. Reading can also help us escape from a
stressful day. It really doesn't matter what book you read, by
losing yourself in a thoroughly engrossing book you can escape
from the worries and stresses of everyday life and spend a while
exploring the domain of the author's imagination.
Reading books is important. Books are the bank of
knowledge. You can always improve your knowledge by reading
and it still has many benefits for us. Even if you dont have
money to spend, there will always be a library or maybe a friend
2

of yours which is willing to lend you a book. In my opinion

reading books whether it is a fiction or non-fiction has many
benefits for us. Because by reading books we can improve our
memorizing skill, get more knowledge, and have an enjoying
and relaxing activity.
