Is Chen Lei an active reader? How do you know?
My love of books comes from my mother. Because of her, our home
is full of books on different subjects.
When I was a child, my mother used to sit me on her knee, tell me
stories, and teach me how to read. Soon, I was reading by myself.
Over time, I found children’s books no longer kept me interested. So
I started reading other books, newspapers, and magazines. I especially
enjoyed popular science books and books about the lives of famous
people. After dinner, I would just pick a book from the shelf to read
in my room. Reading opened up new worlds and allowed me to
discover new things for myself. In general, I prefer print books, but
sometimes I read e-books. 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.
