A very good morning to the honourable judges, teachers and friends.

Today, i would
like to talk about advantages of reading.

To begin with, reading opens a world of colours and fantasy, combat and adventure.
It awakens the imagination ;it is satisfying and makes the mind work. But many
people say that you must have a phenomenal gift to help today’s children to love
reading. Just start talking to your friends or younger generations about the benefit of
reading, and you will succeed.

Benefits of reading are not only fun, it gives an understanding of vocabulary,

increases culture, literacy and shows an example of how language develops and
uses. Reading promotes competence in speaking and writing, providing models and
patterns of speech and writing, which can then be used by you.

However, reading is not important only for children, and only on the above
reasons. In this technique a modern computerized world, ruled by high-speed
Internet, with its visual effects - do not forget about the simple pleasure of reading.
No matter who are you; young or old, rich or poor - the best kind of reading of
the most fun. The history of library visits Imagine how a hot afternoon you turn off the
lights have stopped working internet and air conditioning is no longer cools the air.
Do not worry; you go to the library, look around the shelves, flipping through the
pages of interesting books (where there are no hype and jumping pictures).
Suddenly, some book captures your interest, and you go for two or three
hours in the wonderful world of adventure. When you exit the library, you will not like
before. You fill the force and energy, which is hidden in the work of a great author.
The book can take home and the evening entertainment is provided to you. Is
not it good? And the whole family can enjoy reading books, and then to share
something interesting. You will never be bored, and you'll be extremely sociable
person.
Almost everyone has a favorite topic or hobby. This fishing or soccer, poetry or
painting, embroidery or cars ... In the library you will find a lot of magazines on the
subject. The library can hold exhibitions of contemporary artists, the presentation of
works of art, creativity in the evening...
And you can just take a cup of coffee and enjoy the view and space. Library
staff (if it is central) care about how to grow flowers in the rooms. And how many
colorful books in the library for preschoolers, you cannot detach them from the view
of interesting children's encyclopedias.
 And what about plans for the holidays If you want to travel far, without a book
and if you do not want the whole road was held in the boredom, the skill and love of
reading to help you very much. If you go kids, and they cannot read, then soon they
will turn everything upside down to find a game.
Make sure you'll be surprised how quickly you arrive to your destination, if you
take with you an interesting and informative book. And if you want to take care of
their fellow travelers who are not so quick-witted and did not take a book - put in a
travel bag books with short stories or funny anecdotes. They will not be bored
anyone.
The book is also a good gift and souvenir. For example, if you go to Paris, buy
a book there and then bring home. This book will stay with you for many years, unlike
other souvenirs. If you want to make your body strong and healthy, then do physical
exercise and sport. If you want your mind is not atrophied - read the book.
But it is important that all of the words were clear from the book for you. If
some words are not understood - you stop reading and do not feel in better shape,
and fall asleep. Write out unintelligible words, and then clarify their customary
dictionary even if you use the book as a soporific.
With that, i emphasize once again that reading brings lot of advantages and it
is one of the good habit that should be practised by everyone. With that, thank you.
