A very good morning to the
principal, teachers and
friends. I would like to share
with you what reading means
to me.
Reading can mean different
things to different people. To
some, it is a frightening
experience but to others, it is
rewarding and enriching.

As for me, I have always

enjoyed reading and it is an
essential part of my life. I
love to explore different
worlds. Just imagine being in
the Stone Age or in a
legendary world fighting
dragons and magicians.

I find myself drawn to the

various characters I read
about. For instance, I admire
the wisdom of Gandalf, the
old wizard with a long, white
beard in the Lord of The
Rings.

I remember how Enid Blyton

changed my life through her
Secret Seven and Famous
Five series. It was a sheer joy
to become part of the
adventures and mysteries
and feel the emotions of
various characters in the
book.
