Nowadays, with the development of Internet, more and more people choose net play as their entertainment. However, if you enter my dormitory accidentally, you may see a view that I am reading absorbedly while other people are playing computers. And if you ask me why, I will tell you that books are the ladder of human progress and no matter how time pass, reading is my favorite activity. There are three reasons to explain why I like reading so much.

     Originally, it is my parents that influence me. As we all know, the lives of our parents when they are young are very poor. They have no chance to accept education much less have their own books. Nonetheless, my parents convince that knowledge changes fate so when I was born they prepared many books for me. From initiation story to encyclopaedia, I almost have all kind of books. Only you think, no I have not. What’s more, in order to encouraging me to read, they always ask me some questions about science or art. If I answer them correctly, I will get some present such as cookie and candy. In such an environment, how can I not like reading?

     Secondly, I benefit a lot from reading. To be honest, the knowledge we can learn from class is limited. It is not enough that we only read such less books and reading makes up this problem. For example, through reading many extra books, I build my correct value about the world. When I was little, I could only divide the world into two aspects, the black one and the white one, because of textbooks. With the time pass, I read many books which describe the gray areas of society. I began to  see through the appearance to perceive the essence. Beside this aspect, there are many other benefit in reading and this is the direct reason why I like reading.

     Finally, I see reading as my friend. As far as I concerned, books are the best friends of human. Everyone will face such a time which is filled with difficulties and sadness. And at that moment, maybe only books are willing to accompany you. Whenever I get problems, I search answers from books. Feeling despairing about the world, I use books comforting me; becoming afraid about something, I calm down myself by reading; facing difficulties in my life, I solve them with the help of reading. Reading likes a reliable friend who always support me and let me grow up.

     It is said that books had it own gold room. Although more and more people give up reading, I still believe reading can not replaced by anything. At least for me, reading will be my friend forever.
