READING BOOKS AND HOW THEY CAN INFLUENCE OUR LIVES Our parents try to get us used to reading as sooner as possible. Why? They can already understand how important it is for every human being, and of course every parent wants their child to be educated, to have an open mind and to have a good, beautiful speech. But not every child wants to read, whatever book it is. Being children, we don’t admire reading. Books seem to be boring, geeky, we can’t concentrate on what we read and the words that we catch, just don’t make any sense together. The special kind of evilness is the books with no illustrations. One will never be able to make a child to read, if there is no pictures. We all know, that every short story, poem or fairy tale will lose it’s sense if there’s no at least one picture. Mostly it is explained by the fact, that some reading can have many unknown words for child in it, but also the pictures are needed, because it makes the kid turn his/her phantasy on and contamplate, how the described characters and events would look like in real life. Alternatively, when we grow up, and already become conscientious of our lives, we want to be more educated, have bigger dictionaries in our heads and just evolve. We begin to read books. Firstly, it’s usualy some fictional books, some novels, love stories, phantasy stories etc. Later, when we already don’t want to use books as a way of recharging and resting, we start to read some nonfictional literature. We become interested in some science, in real stories of people’s lives, try to learn some lesson from what we read. And this is already the best and most useful part of reading. When we read a book, we usually meet loads of new words, that are synonims to the simple words that we know. When we see them in some context, we remember the new words, and can start to use them after it, and they become the part of our active vocabulary, what makes the level of our education higher. This is the first reason, why we shouldn’t omit reading books. The second reason is actually more for people, connected to art. I mean, any art: drawing, dancing, singing, writing, photography, video editing etc. Reading anything, we always imagine what we read, subconsciously. We see different pictures, that brightly illustrate what we see. This makes our phantasy work, which makes it brighter and stronger. And any person, who is somehow connected to art, knows how important this is, to be able to illustrate something in your mind, to visualize what you want to make. Well, I guess, we have defined, that reading is important for everyone, no matter what you read it will be useful for you and your brain.
