times. Therefore, it is important to read and even to get involved, because they rightly say: "possess information - have a situation." But what is the use of reading, and whether it is at all?

First, the continuous reading of trains the brain. When you read, the way of seeing the world changes: you start to dream, to create certain "book" images (places, people, events). In addition, improve memory book, broadens the mind, change the spelling. Yes, that's right: when you read, working visual memory, which will not allow in the future to make a mistake in the lyrics. And yet, the frequent focus on teaching reading a book, and anything at all, increases the diligence and mood.

In - the second, with the reading of books increases your vocabulary, there is a particular way of thinking, whereby thoughts clearly expressed and easy to formulate. You can verify this yourself: simply read some classic. After that, any (even the one who had and "two words could not"), notice how much easier it was to use words to express their thoughts. Notice how it easier to express themselves, to look up words. Note that from his lexicon go different words-parasites.

Third reading - just a fun pastime. That's because it can find new companions, friends, associates or topics of conversation with them. And book lovers are very friendly with them is always easy to talk to. You can spend your free time, while enhancing mood and inspiration. In the extreme case - just enjoy a conversation with the author or his story, a story. Reading is not boring, does not become stale: books-that very much, and each of them is unique.

And finally, fourth: Each reading process, in fact - a little journey through time and distance. The book just breaks different timeframe limitations. Only with it you can feel, to understand the thoughts of thousands of writers from different eras and times. Is it not amazing? The mere reading will understand how Defoe thought what outlook was at Wells, and that puzzled Jansson. The mere reading will allow us to feel, to understand, to feel the writer, even if he is already dead. It is for this reason, any, even very old book - a real "time machine", which you may change your whole life.

Generally reading - an essential process in the formative stages of adult personality. A process that begins in infancy, when the child read aloud his parents or relatives. And ending with a mature age, while experiencing personal problems and spiritual growth, when literature rescues from depression sets morals and ideals. Books and reading have on all of us a huge impact, shape us. They make us human. This - all of their benefits!

ooks, you will be surprised. The Amazing Story of Adolphus Tips, for example, was published earlier this year.

Lily Tregenze who is 12, lives on a farm in the village of Slapton with her mother and grandfather. It's 1943, the middle of the Second World War, and her father is away in the army. Lily's life centres on her local school, currently filled with people from London sent to the country for safety, and Tips, her beloved cat. Tips keeps having kittens. But one of Lily's parents always drowns the kittens, to Lily's despair, because they cannot keep and feed a lot of cats. Then, when they have to move to their Uncle George's farm to make way for the army, Tips disappears. For months it is only the kindness of a young American soldier and his army friend who help Lily search for her cat, that helps her get through the many changes and challenges in her life. And there's a lovely twist at the end — which I shan't spoil for you — as the story shoots forward 60 years.
