Образец устного высказывания "Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body"

There is no friend as faithful as a good book

Reading plays a very important role in the life of people. It educates a person, enriches his intellect. Books help to mould a person's character, form his moral values. Besides, books bring pleasure and delight. It's a wonderful way to spend spare time. Sometimes we read the same book again and again. Thanks to books we learn to express our thoughts and feelings more exactly. The book is a faithful and understanding friend. It can be put aside and taken up again at any moment. There are books which have been our favorites since childhood.

People are fond of reading different kinds of books. Some people enjoy reading detective stories, adventure stories, novels, biographies, other prefer classics. Fairy tales are enjoyed and read by children, books about adventures and journeys are enjoyed by those who are fond of travelling. Legends and myths are read by those who are fond of history. Some people developed much time to reading books and reading becomes their free time occupation, their passion.

It’s difficult to imagine my life without reading. I like reading different kinds of books: adventure stories, historical novels, science fiction and detectives. One of my favourite books is series of books about Harry Potter.

To me, loving Harry Potter is practically part of my identity. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that these books formed my personality. I read my first Harry Potter book at the age of 9. And now I am 14.

 I think Harry Potter is an inspiration to many young children because it encourages them to believe in themselves. The author shows the importance of friendship and love. These books teach us honesty. You come to love the characters and want to read more.

In fact, these books helped me understand that reading is wonderful!
