A text

• Do you imagine how reading may be useful? What is more, I consider that reading is such leisure, which is indispensable in education. As for me, I have got carried away by reading since my childhood. My mother says about necessity of reading constantly, she is sure that only reading books can help to get rid of gaps in children’s knowledge. I agree with my mother. However, I can not help agreeing that some books are boring, because they have a bad plot. Nevertheless, every person should choose books with a plot-driven story and read them. In conclusion, I want to say that interesting and amazing books will definitely affect people’s imagination and mind. (114 words)
