Dear Helen,
Thank yu fr yur email. Nw I wuld like t tell yu smething abut the extra-curricular reading in ur schl. As a matter f fact, mst f the students in ur schl haven’t realized the imprtance f reading, especially extra-curricular reading. Therefre, the time and energy devted t reading are limited. Besides, sme students prefer t read cmic bks, magazines and newspapers rather than classic reading materials.
I think the reasns fr such phenmenn are varius. First f all, quite a lt f students are burdened with t much hmewrk. Still thers haven’t frmed a gd habit f reading. They wuld rather spend time n TVs r cmputer games instead.
Hwever, reading is bviusly beneficial t bth ur life and study, which can nt nly braden ur hrizn but enrich ur life as well. S it is quite necessary fr us students t take up reading and fr teachers t lessen the amunt f hmewrk s that we can have mre time t read.
Best Wishes.
