Reading books is a good hobby for all kinds of reasons. First, reading books is fun. You can always keep yourself 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 almost anywhere： in a car, in a waiting room, on the plane, in bed—even in the bath. All you need is a book! Reading is a convenient hobby as it is easy to stop and then to start again.
Another good reason for reading books is that it is useful. If you keep reading as a hobby, you will get better and better at it. This means that you will read faster and become better at understanding what you read. As your reading skill improves, you will probably find that your schoolwork becomes much easier. Many school subjects depend on good reading . And as you read, you will learn more and more.
Some people say that reading is out of date. This is not true. You can also learn on the Internet. And the more 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 Reading is hardly out of date!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.

Can you remember the day when you spoke your first words? If you can, you are unusual. Try to think what the first months of your life were like. I’m sure you just spent most of your time eating, sleeping and crying. As you grew older, your parents spent more time playing with you and talking to you. You watched and listened. You began to know that people make some sounds to go with some things.
Then you began to cry to make sounds you heard. And step by step (逐渐地) you were able to make the right sound for one thing.
On that day you came to understand the secret of the language. The secret is that a certain sound means a certain thing. Only when a group of people use the same set of sounds of things can they understand each other, so these people have a language.
After you found the secret of language, you learnt words. Some of the words mean things, like
books, chairs and shops. Some of the words mean actions, for example, go and swim. Soon you learnt to put words together to share your idea, like “I want to go out and play with my friends.”
This is language. By the way of language, people can communicate (交流). So we say languages mean sharing.
