My name is Marcos, i'm a spanish teenager who lives in the north of Spain, in Galicia. I'm 16 years old and I think reading is not a very popular activity in teenagers, at least at the place where I live.
People here usually spend almost of their time chatting in their mobile phone, playing computer games or doing some sports (which is also good).
Reading is important in almost all of our life fields. It improves from social skills, to help us keeping healthy, including leisure, of course.
First, your communication skills will be much better. When you read, you learn new words and expressions so your vocabulary range will increased. It may even help your speaking skills because you would know how to say things which atract people's attention. It helps you also in your personal and proffessional growth, because you learn a lot of things from characters and they'll show you some ways of viewing the world surrounding us.
Finally, what happens If you don't like reading?
I recommend readng in quiet places, where you can concentrate more and pay more attention. You must not have any other things which can distract you at the time of reading. You may also think of what you would do If you were one of the characters.
But my main advice is, if you don't like reading, don't do it. Litherature is for enjoying it, not to being forced to enjoy and learn it.

Teenagers and Reading by Clara
My name is Clara, I'm a teenager and I love reading. My favourite genre is romance because it talks about mutual love, and I love it! In the north of Spain the most popular activities that the teenagers do in theis free time are: play football or talk with friends but a lot of teenagers hate reading.
Reading is important because it improves your concentration because a book takes long periods of concentration, secondly it improves your imagination, it helps you expand your understanding because you know about other people life or other cities, etc.
And finally it reduces stress, a study says if you read for six minutes you slow down the heart rate and the tension in the muscles.
In conclusion, reading is important and I recommend it because you imagine what would happen if you were in the setting, moreover it puts yourself in the main character's shoes.

the best wedding
From: Ana
To: Cristina
Subject: David's wedding
Hi, Cris!
I have to tell you the identity of my colleague's bride!
So, last week I had the best wedding I've ever been to, it was a really heartfelt ceremony, then the place where the wedding took place was very original.
The theme of the marriage was the Spanish culture and the ceremony took place in Seville. Miriam (the bride!) was dressed in white lace and she looked gorgeous with a pearl comb. Something similar happened with the groom, David, was wearing a black suit with a red tie with white dots.
Finally I should tell you that I met Nico there, he was also invited to the wedding. I talked to him and the conversation was fine, like the weather of the day!
I'm looking forward to your answer.
Kisses,
Ana.

David's wedding
From: Fátima

Subject: David's wedding
Hello Laura,
I'm going to tell you about David and Nerea's wedding. It was a wonderful experience because they got married at Santiago's cathedral. The bride was gorgeous, she wore a beautiful white wedding dress with a long train and she had a bouquet of pink and white roses. The groom wore a very nice black suit. All the guests were pretty smart and there were a lot of them. The ceremony was moving and we could feel the love of the bride and the groom. The party after the ceremony was the best party I've ever been to. There were 5 courses, screaming kids running wild, the ceremonial cutting of the cake by the bride and groom and a beautiful speech. In fact, it was an increduble ceremony. And guess who was there- my ex was there and he was as handsome as ever!
Kisses,
Fátima.

TEENAGERS AND READING BY: MIGUEL PEREIRA RODRÍGUEZ
About 80% of children in Spain play video games, watch TV, chat with their friends or play on the computer but only 20% of the children enjoy reading in their leisure time.
But reading books is such a great thing to do. Reading makes you develope your verbal abilities, reduces your stress, makes you smart, improves you focus and concentration, improves your memory, makes you dicover yourself, improves your imagination, makes you learn vocabulary, improves your communication skills... Reading makes you improve as person and is useful and good to you
I will recommend them to follow some tips to make reading enjoyable, like search for a comfortable and nice place to read, choose a good book, visualize the characters or enjoy a snack with your book.
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.
Adriana Figueroa Guerrero
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.

Reading is important because read help you from many things. Help you grow and expanding your views,it makes you a leader, it set you free from boredom,help you to comunicate and to learn things. Read through you helpful habit.
To make reading enjoyable you have a nice place, find a small place where you cam set up your reading center. You can imagine in your mind the setting of what you are reading.
Teenagers reading, by Alberto Pérez Rey
95% of US teenagers hardly never enjoy reading and just 5% usually read books. Most Spanish teenagers usually spend their free time going out or playing video games, but they don't often read. Actually, very few children enjoy reading newspapers, magazines or books.
But reading books is such a great thing to do. Reading makes you develope your verbal abilities, reduces your stress, makes you smart, improves you focus and concentration, improves your memory, makes you dicover yourself, improves your imagination, makes you learn vocabulary, improves your communication skills... Reading makes you improve as person and is useful and good to you.
There are a lot of tips to make reading enjoyable because there is a book for everyone, so you jus have to find the type of book you think you'll enjoy.

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.
I would like this children to know that reading is important because it's an activity with a lot of benefits, like improve your concentration, your memory or it reduces stress. You haven't got to dedicate a lot of your time reading, just when you have free time or little breaks, because in contrast to the videogames or the TV you can bring always a book with you.
I will recommend them to follow some tips to make reading enjoyable, like search for a comfortable and nice place to read, choose a good book, visualize the characters or enjoy a snack with your book. Marta and Tania
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.
