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.
