[GLN EC Saturday] Topic 10/08 : Reading Habit

Books are one of the best tools for training and upbringing. A good book always has a salutary effect on the mind of a reader. It will elevate spirit and thoughts. It is possible that the reading of book might have a deeper impact on the minds of the readers than the other sources of acquiring knowledge. Sometimes, reading brings about a revolutionary change in the outlook of a person. The persons who are in the habit of reading, not only make the best use of their spare time but they will keep their minds away from the worries that might chase them if they sit brooding, doing nothing.

Is reading book important to you? Are you a person who enjoys reading? If not, why? Such questions will be made clear in the Saturday afternoon this week. Let’s come and enjoy speaking English at GLN English Club with the topic “Reading Habit”.
