As the saying goes, “Knowledge is power.” We can never lay too much emphasis on  the importance of reading. In fact, more and more people begin to take part in this activity nowadays.

   However, what kinds of books do you think are worth reading? In my opinion, good books are the ones which are full of energy. The reason is that we can benefit a lot from them. To be specific, firstly, reading good books can enrich our knowledge. Francis Bacon said:”Histories make men wise; poets witty; the mathematics subtle; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend. Reading make a full man.” Secondly, by reading them, we can widen our horizons and see more of the world outside. Books like a bridge built between two different cultures. Through reading, I get to know Andersen’s fairy tales from Denmark and Sherlock Holmes the most famous British detective in stories. Thirdly, good books can make us positive to life. They are just like our old friends who comfort us with soft words when we are upset.

   Perhaps someone may worry that they are too old to read. But please remember that we are never too old to learn.Therefore, let’s grow up with good books together.
