The importance of reading

The average student in the United States watches television for 28 hours a week
1. Most of these programs contain scenes of violence and sex
  1. Thousands of studies indicate that there is a connection between these violence programs and their aggressive behaviors in real life.
    1. However, these programs not only cause aggressive behaviors, they also cause anorexia, obesity, and drug, tobacco, and alcohol abuse.
    2. Television and film images perpetuate ideals and norms of body image and behavior, and some bodies of researchers, such as the American Psychiatric Association, believe that adolescents and children often take cues from television.
2. Fourteen-year-old John was asked this. Why don't young people read books 28 hours a week?
  1. He said, "Well, because I don't like to read books. I like watching movies and TV shows are easier to understand."
    1. And this is true, books are harder work than TV shows and that's why it's not for all people.
    2. However, if you make the effort to read a book you can learn more and also improve your memory.
    3. There are many different books you may like. I find an interesting topic for you and read them. Without you realizing it, you will be learning indirectly.
First we must know. What is reading? To read is to place ourselves in front of a written text and decode the message that the author wants to convey to us.
