The advantage of reading

For me, reading provides escape, growth, and adventure. I spend a lot of my time alone, so being able to dive into a book and come out of it as a new person with new information, it a great way to spend my time. I have definitely changed over the course of reading a few notable books, and I think that the act of reading widens your mind to accept new things.

For myself, I see 4 advantages : reading for entertainment, for information, for understanding, and for transformation.

Reading helps me escape reality. I also learn more about other places I haven't been to through books.

It also helps you learn more than English. It lets you learn about a vast array of topics and also prevents boredom.

Reading is a means to escape to another world, even if its only for a short while. The knowledge I obtain becomes useful at unexpected times.

English is my second language so it helps me improve it all the time I read. It broadens my mind.

I love reading for that reason. There is always something to learn within the pages of a book. It can range from perfecting a foreign language to just learning a new word. It doesn't matter. There is always something.

I write very well in English class because I have read, read, read all my life. I can read much faster than most kids, too which gives me a big advantage.

I love reading because it almost forces you to see the world through the eyes of someone else. Someone you may not like or agree with at times and I think that makes for more empathetic and compassionate people. I think it's an amazing tool to connect to the world around you without ever having to leave the comfort of your own home.

Reading for me is a source of solace and comfort. It acts as a portal of escape from my hectic schedules. Also books have helped me overcome my mobile phone addiction. I spent more time reading and less time overthinking. Books are hence the best things in my life.

- Reading enriches your vocabulary.
- It also provides you with lenses to view things from other people's perspectives.
- It helps you learn about cultures, things, events, or places that are otherwise inaccessible to you or not immediately accessible.
- It strengthens your grammar.
- Additionally, it allows you to live in the past/future and present simultaneously.
