Language points
My love of books comes from my mother. Books are her classroom and teacher, and through books she has become the wise and smart person I know.
Because of my mother's love of reading, our home is full of books on different subjects. When I was a child, my mother sat me on her knee, told me stories, and taught me how to read. Soon, I was reading by myself, and I found children's books no longer kept me interested. So I started reading my books and magazines—especially popular science books and books about the lives of famous people. After dinner, I would just pick out a book from the shelf to read in my room. Reading opened up new worlds and allowed me to discover new things for myself. I think that reading is great fun.
Now that I am older, I can always find time to read in the school library. I believe that reading has helped me a lot with my schoolwork and made me more confident about my future.
