After months of study, you have some time to relax. So, why not read a book? Well, some people will say, “Why trouble with books? We have the Internet and other media (媒体) that offer a lot more colorful programs. Books are history!” But don’t be fooled. There’s still a lot to be said for reading.

One clear reason is that a well-chosen book is a wonderful collection of words and expression. If you have a good dictionary, I think it’s far easier to get standard (标准的) English than from the TV or the Internet.

An even more important reason is that books give you something that media can not. The web page is always full of pictures and the text is often designed to make it as easy to read as possible. Though “easy” may be welcome, unluckily it’s of little use for any long-time development of reading skills and the general language level. For that, there’s still no substitute (替代品) for a book.

However, perhaps the best reason is that simply choosing what you read and doing it by yourself means that it’s something you do by and for yourself. You can choose what you want to read. It’s hard work, but while you are reading, you’ll find that what once seemed like a duty is now a pleasure. In a word, reading books can bring us pleasure.
