WHY SHOULD I READ?

TAUGHT BY:faith EDOBOR

  Why should you read? You should read because there are a lot of benefits attached to reading which I will be pointing your attention to in this  article.
  1:Reading help to improve your Focus and concentration:
  When you are fully engaged in a book,it involves closing off the outside world and immersing yourself into the text, which over time will strengthen your attention span by helping you to do away with any form of distractions.

  2:It also help to improve your imagination:
  You are only limited by what you can imagine and the words described in books;as well as other peoples views and opinions which will also help you expand your understanding of what is possible. By reading a written description of an event or a place, your mind is responsible for creating that image in your head.

 3:Reading also help to broaden your horizon:
  I know many people are attracted to people in this category;Reading makes you SMARTER:Reading gives you a chance to consume huge amount of research in a relatively short amount of time.The truth is that heavy readers tend to display greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people are.

 5:reading help you to discover and recreate yourself:

 6:it makes you interesting and attractive:
 You will be able to hold your own opinion and add to conversations instead of having to make  excuses and leave. You will be able to engage a wider variety of people in conversation and in turn improve your knowledge and  skill.

7:Reading is therapeutic:
  If you are going through challenges of any kind,try read a book that is in line with that situation and you will be amazed at the immeasurable healing a book can provide if only you can really apply some of the principles embedded in them especially books from trusted and tested 'authors'.

   In conclusion,reading is FUN...it makes you to relate with life knowing fully well that you are not alone;that people are out there that can empathize with you because they feel your pains and Joy too.
  If you like adventure;Reading is adventurous because it will make you go round the world while learning about peoples culture, lifestyle,eating habit etc.
