Read this passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Many students enjoy reading a good book. They understand that reading provides many benefits. However, there are a few students who do not appreciate books at all! “Why read?” they ask, “when there is so much to watch on television?” For them the television is more interesting than any book. The screen flickers and changes often, the characters move and speak and the colours add appeal. Books on the other hand, may not even have pictures. You have to use your imagination, which they say “is hard work!”
However, reading offers several advantages over television. First, you can take a book with you anywhere you want. Anywhere means anywhere: on the bus, to the kitchen, in the street, to church, on vacation and even to the bathroom! It would not be so easy to take a television set with you everywhere you go.
Secondly, a book requires no electricity or batteries to provide it with power. There are no plugs, no switches to turn off or on, nothing to be recharged. You will never be stranded if the electricity goes or if you don’t have money to buy batteries. Your book will work as soon as you open it.
Finally, books allow you to use your imagination. You don’t need to depend on the ideas of a movie or television show producer. You can generate your own movie or television show in your head based on the words in your book. You can hear the splash and crash of the Essequibo River in Guyana, touch lions in Africa and smell the market place in Mexico. So what are you waiting for? Pick up a book today, you can take it anywhere with you, it needs no power and best of all you can create your own ideas.
