Чтение играет очень важную роль…...

Reading books plays a very important role in the life of people. It educates a person, enriches his intellect. 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.

Throughout the centuries books had an enormous influence on the minds and hearts of people. Thanks to books we can talk to people who lived in different countries and ages. Through reading books we hear their voices, thoughts and feelings. The book is the surest way to bring nations together. It helps people achieve understanding, trust, cooperation and friendship. They develop literary taste; arouse interest and curiosity, the reader's laugher as well as his tears. They teach the readers to be truthful, friendly, honest, conscientious, frank, firm, fair and serious.

Libraries play an important part in the cultural development of people. People like reading, they have a desire to learn, and they seek for knowledge. Books sate this desire. There are a lot of books in our country, in our flats. But it is difficult to buy all the books which we want to read. That is why we get books in public libraries. Books shouldn't be read only for pleasure. Reading books helps us in our education. We can find all kinds of books in the libraries. In some libraries we can find books in many foreign languages. Except books we can get periodical newspapers and magazines to read there. Readers come to reading rooms to study and prepare materials for their reports or for their scientific work.

However, there are many people who prefer watching film versions, because of free time shortage. They say it helps to save a lot of hours, which they plan to spend more usefully. I do not consider it is a right approach. Reading great classic literature does not mean wasting your time. Most people believe that films help them to imagine all the characters and places. I cannot agree with this because imagination is the best helper to envisage the action.
