As we know, reading makes a full man. It not only increases our knowledge and helps us solve problems, but also brings us happiness and makes our life colourful.
What books should we read I think textbooks, newspapers and magazines are useful, and stories, novels and poems are also helpful. Mark Twain's books are read by many people, including me. So this year, I'm going to spend more time reading his books. And I'm also going to read other books in the library or the bookshop every weekend.
The more books we read, the more knowledge we will learn. Let's start reading and experience the fun of reading together!
