After months of study, you have some time to relax. So, why not (read) a book?

Well, some people will say," Why trouble with books? We have the Internet and other media that offer a lot more colorful programs. Books are history!" don't be fooled. There's still a lot to be said for reading.

One clear reason is that a well-chosen book is a wonderful collection of (word) and expressions, as long as you have a good dictionary, of course. Believe me. It's far easier (get) standard English from a book than from the TV or the Internet.

But an even  (important) point is that books give you something that modern media cannot. The webpage is always full of pictures the text is often designed to make it as easy to read as possible. Though "easy" may be welcome, (unlucky) it's of little use for any long- time development of reading skills and the general language level. For that, there's still no substitute(替代品) for a book.

But perhaps the best reason is that simply choosing what you read and doing it by yourself (mean) that it's something you do by and yourself. You can choose what you want to read. It's hard work, but while you are reading，you will find once seemed like a duty is now a pleasure. Reading can bring us pleasure.
