Speech - Reading is important

I believe that reading is important for everyone. Why? and what can you tell me why reading is important? Let me explain you why reading is important.

Reading is important to everyone because it helps us to build our own vocabulary and helps us improve our understanding to the words in the stories that we have read and listened to. It's also important that we understand what we were reading. Being good at reading helps us in our writing, and we gain knowledge about a lot of things through the books and articles read.  We will be able to follow instructions when we do our work at school, when we are on the street, at the beach, at the malls or wherever we go. For example, if you wish to visit a friend who lives far away and you need to drive  a car, how will you get there if you do not know how to read the road map and road signs?

Another reason why we need to read a book every day is  because it supports us when we look for more information about specific topics relating to what we do in the classroom which also help us to develop our language skills.

If we want to get a good job in the future and we want to succeed in life, we should work hard while we are in school especially with our reading comprehension  because it gives us the power of understanding.  Reading increases our knowledge in our ability to identify the things that we need to do in life. For example, you are at the supermarket to do grocery shopping but you do not know how to read the signs and labels of the items that you would like to buy. You would not know which direction to go and you’ll waste a lot of your time. It makes life difficult for you!

When we read a book, we also learn to take notice of the setting, characters, sequence of the story, the conflicts, exposition, climax, and resolution.

When we read an online article, newspaper, and blogs, they are just examples of the things that we can learn from.  

So, read more and more,  as it can help you and me to improve and have a better understanding of everything in the world around us.

Thank you!
