READING FOR PLEASURE

Most of spanish teenagers spend their leisure time going out with their friends, chatting on the internet, being lazy or doing nothing. But what about the reading?

This hobby has been forgotten in the last years, and nowadays teenagers read less.
In my point of view, we have a problem because at the schools, teachers use to order to their pupils to read books obligatory. But sometimes, they don´t enjoy reading that books so we can´t solve this problem at this way.

We must know the benefits and the importance of reading to appreciate it. For example, reading may help you to reduce the stress, to open your mind, to increase your communication abilities and to improve your imagination, your memory or your thinking skills too.

You only have to find the literary genre that you like, to try to get comfortable, to put yourself in the main character´s shoes and to imagine the situations to enjoy reading for pleasure.

Reading is important

Recent studies proved that in Spain, about only 43 per cent of the children read on an aregular bscis. It's a little better than in US , where the 95 per cent of children play video games, chat with their friends...but only the 5 per cent of the children enjoy reading.
Well, this is a very depressing fact because reading has got lots of benefits. For example, you can develop your verbal activities, improve your focus and concentration, you anprove your imagination...
In my opinion, if you want to enjoy your reading, you must choose a good book, find a quiet place  where you can set up your reading and for example, if you think that the book you are reading is too hard to understand, you could try an easier book.

Teenagers and reading

Nowadays, about 95% of the children in Spain play video games, watch TV, chat with their friends or go out with them, play on the computer or play some sports, but only 5% of the children enjoy reading. Of this 5% of children that enjoy reading, most of them read magazines or sport news paper. Just a few of this percentage enjoys reading a book.

Reading is important

About 95% of the children in the US play video games, watch TV, chat with their friends or play on the computer, but only 5% of the children enjoy reading. In Spain the situation is similar. Most of spanish teenagers play sports and go out, but only 43% of them read. That's only because they have to do it in the school, no because they enjoy doing it.

They don't understand that reading has a lot of benefits. For example, books develop your verbal abilities and improve your concentration. They also reduce stress, because you have to take your time to read and you should be in silence. Furthermore, they improve your imagination, because you have to create the characters inside your head, or maybe you imagine that you are one of them.

Some people don't read because they find books boring. That's because they didn't find a book that is for them. They must also find a peaceful place, with a confortable chair and a nice light.
