READ; OR LEFT BEHIND!

All of us know, reading is the usual activity for us, as a student. We can read at class, at home, even when we walk at street. But, there are many people who don’t like reading. They usually say, reading is boring activity, make them sleepy, and make their head get headache. They like watching TV or listening radio, better than reading newspaper. Perhaps, it is the main reason, why our country is left behind. Let’s compare with Japan. Japan is the only one of Asia’s country that has same knowledge and technology with European countries.
Now, let’s see, why our generation doesn’t like reading. First, we don’t have enough new books. We can see it at our library. We just have old book, and it can’t make the students like reading. Besides, we difficult to find mutual books from other country. How can we get same place with other country?
Second, the prices of books are really expensive. We need much money if we want to buy an encyclopedia or the other books. It is so contrast with Australia, they government give free books for its community.
And the main reason is, reading culture doesn’t give from the child yet. I think, if someone supports his child to love reading, the child will love it. But, there are fewer parents that have understood the important of reading.
The habit of reading can help everyone to transfer knowledge and technology. But sometimes, we have problem when we want to begin read, like boring, sleepy, or lazy. Actually, it can be solve if you know the important of reading.
As the last part, I want to give some suggestion for you. The success people are the people who like reading. If you don’t want to leave behind, you must change your habit. Find your favorite books, start with happiness. And start it from now!
