ANALYTICAL EXPOSITION TEXT

TEXT 1

I personally think that reading is a very important activity in our life. Why do I say so?Firstly, by reading we can get a lot of knowledge about many things in the world such as Science, technology. Sports, arts, culture, etc written in either books, magazine, newspaper,etc.
Secondly, by reading we can get a lot of news and information about something happening inany parts of the world which can we see directly.
Another reason, reading can give us pleasure too. When we are tired, we read books,newspaper or magazine on the entertainment column such as comedy, short story, quiz, etc.To make us relaxed.
The last, reading can also take us to other parts of the world. By reading a book about IrianJaya we may feel we’re really sitting in the jungles not at home in our rooms.From the facts above, it’s obvious that everyone needs to read to get knowledge, informationand also entertainment. Or in summary we can say reading is truly important in our life.
