The statement is quite apt and very clear to clarify the fact that is very important aspect of education. Conversation, experience, reading and observation are the ways by which an individual . And so it is clear that process of learning is without reading.
A very suitable example fitting in this context is from our evolution. We have different ages, from Stone Age to Iron Age and from iron to space age, just by reading the hand 45 articles of our own ancestors and learning their mistakes.
When we the pages of dictionary or search for a literal definition of “Reading”, we will find that it actually is a way of words attainment for active communication, and for ideas and information. It is also a of complicated interaction between the transcript and the . The reading process obliges constant practices, progress, and improvement.

“What’s that?”I asked when I first heard the sound.
“It’s coming from the .”my wife, Anita, said. “Maybe it’s one of the little .”

When you are little, it’s not hard to believe you can change the world.

In school you teach us not to __________ others, to work things out, to respect others, to clean up our mess, not to hurt other creatures, to _______, not to be greedy. Then why do you go out and do the thing you tell us not to do? You grown-ups say you love us, but I _________ you, please, to make your __________reflect your words.”
I spoke for six minutes and received a standing ovation（长时间的喝彩）. Some of the delegates _______ cried. I thought that maybe I had ________ some of them, that my speech might actually spur(激励) action. Now, a decade from Rio, after I’ve sat through many more conferences, I’m not sure what has been accomplished.

We are beginning to feel __________ to produce and be successful. We are taught that economic growth is ________, but aren’t taught how to _________ a happy, healthy or sustainable(可持续的) way of living.

Today I’m no longer a child, but I’m worried about what kind of _________ my children will grow up in. I know change is _________, because I am changing, still figuring out what I think. I am still deciding how to live my life. The challenges are great, _________ if we accept individual responsibility and make sustainable choices, we will rise to the challenges, and we will become part of the ___________ tide of change.
