When I was in Grade 7, I hated reading. I thought reading was boring and a waste of time. I would rather watch TV or play games than read a book. My English teacher, Miss Li, noticed this and decided to help me.

One day, Miss Li gave me a thin book with beautiful pictures. She said it was a storybook about a little girl who loved adventures. She told me to read it for 15 minutes every day and promised to talk about it with me. At first, I was reluctant, but I didn’t want to let Miss Li down. So I started reading it every day.

To my surprise, the story was very interesting. The little girl in the book was brave and kind. She went through many difficulties but never gave up. I became more and more interested in the book and even read it for more than 15 minutes every day. When I finished the book, I told Miss Li about my feelings. She was very happy and encouraged me to read more books.

From then on, I fell in love with reading. I read different kinds of books, such as novels, science books and history books. Reading not only improved my English skills but also made me more knowledgeable. I even started to write short stories myself. Miss Li’s small gift changed my life.

Now, I often tell my classmates that reading is not boring at all. It can take us to different worlds and teach us many valuable lessons. If you hate reading now, give it a try. You may find a new hobby and change your life forever.
