My Reading Habits

From young, my parents always wanted me to have good reading habits as they think that by constantly reading, I will improve my language and speak better English and not "Singlish". At first, I think that sitting still for hours in the room reading a book was the most boring thing on Earth. However, as I get older, I realise that actually reading is very enjoyable and I can get to learn a lot of things from a book, be it a fiction or a non-fiction book. For example, I get to learn how to write a good composition, learn appropriate grammar usage from the book, widen me vocabulary, teach me moral values etc.
I remember once when I came across a really good book in primary 4 and the title of the book is "James And The Giant Peach" by Roald Dahl . You all may think that this bokk is a little childish, but as I had mentioned, I was primary 4 at that time. Basically, this book is talking about a boy whose life was very terrible and had very strange encounters. However, after much hardships, he was finally able to enjoy his life. After reading this book, I immediately realised how comfortable and luck was I and from that day onwards, I constantly reminded myself to be satisfied with my life and not ask for more luxuries.
So, throught the next two years, I am constantly reading not only storybooks, but also newspapers so as to know abot what is currently going on in the world and to constantly update myself. Now, reading has sort of become part of my life and I would always read at least one book a week regardless of how busy I am. So, in one simple sentence, I developed my love for reading becuse of my parents and I am very grateful to them.
