2. I suppose that everyone knows what a book is. Did you know
that when writing system was invented they used stones, clays,
tree and different things that can be carved as a writing
material? Yes they did, and fortunately today we have papers.
A book has a different types and genre. What is genre? This is
categories of composition that is characterized by their style
and forms.
Books are composed by someone whom they call author.
Books can be borrowed in the library, and in our modern world
we can even read books online. Usually, a book has different
titles and Google estimated 130 million unique titles as of 2011.
It is usual why many books have the same title but different
author. But others are wondering if title would be applied by the
copyright law. So having thought of that let me put it this way; I
think that the copyright law does not apply to titles. Why? It
would be hard recycling all those titles for a lifetime. Do you get
what I mean? Well let’s say it this way, if it applies the copyright
law, they can’t use the word “algebra” or “English” as a title for
a textbook.
3. Now let us talk about
advantages and
benefits of reading
different types of
Title
books. What can
reading do to you?
Here are some of their
advantages:
4. Reading improved memory
Have you ever experience something that you did and forget
about it so easily? This is a problem faced by many people.
They tend to forget thing easily. You have to try reading
consistently and see the result it can give to you. Reading
really can improve memory.
Reading is a skill builder. How? Books are better than
discussion, to the point that information in books are deeper
than information you can learn from a discussion. By reading,
your mental process is being active and makes your brain
sharper thus makes your memory improve. Most people
learned first on how to talk than how to read but in the process
of reading, people tend to learn more and more which can
make their brain and memory improve.
5. Improve Vocabulary
In process of learning, reading is very important. People may
know the word but they don’t know what it means. This is
where reading can help. You can learn the meaning of the word
by reading the word in a sentence and simply look for a
dictionary to find its meaning.
When reading a book, you will encounter a word that is not
familiar with you. Learning those unfamiliar words by reading
will make improve your vocabulary. There are some words that
we know but we haven’t seen yet and reading forces us to look
at the word.
6. Writing Skill & Reasoning Skills
Do you think writers and authors got their skill in writing since
they were born? No they don’t. Many writers gained their skills
by reading a lot of books from different authors. We know
already that reading books greatly increase your brain activity
and vocabulary. Imagine if you were reading books, what do
you think will happen if you surround yourself with works of
other that already had expertise and skills in writing better than
you? I think you know the answer.
How can reading help you improve your reasoning skill?
There are some books that contain arguments. Different
people may have different ideas or a certain topic that may lead
to an argument, but as long as you read and has a deeper
knowledge about the topic your reasoning is better than others.
That is how reading will help your reasoning skills.
7. Self Esteem
Have ever been in a conversation with a group of friends and
suddenly you begun to be speechless and quiet because you
don’t know the topic? Some people describe this as being “out
of place” because of the topic. The cause of this is you don’t
have information or knowledge about the topic. This makes
some people lose their confidence. You can prevent this if you
read.
Building self confidence in terms of conversation is not that
hard. Reading will help you increase your self-esteem. Having
an expertise and knowledge about a certain topic will greatly
increase your self confidence. You will start feeling good about
yourself knowing that you know something that they don’t
know. There is a tendency that people will find you and ask you
for answers and the feeling about yourself will be better.
8. Creativity and Imagination
Have you ever watched a television? Do you know that you’re
using your imagination while watching? Yes you do! But that is
not an active imagination. Watching television gives everything
to your imagination and which we call ‘passive imagination’.
When reading, you will have an active imagination. How? While
you read, your mind tends to see what you read.
Example is when you are reading a book about horror. Your
mind will imagine a horrific setting depending on what you have
read and understand.
A good writer can make you picture the body of the story like its
character, scenes and settings. But that is all a writer can give
you. Imagination is up to you. The more you read is the more
your imagination improves.
9. But how will reading improve your creativity? By gaining more
ideas and knowledge by reading, you won’t even notice that
your creativity is improving. Being exposed to different ideas
and information you will notice that you are able to come up
with a more creative idea.
These are just few of the advantages and benefits of reading
different types of books. Do not forget to check some of the
bestselling books online & novels.
