My Reading Habits

I read a wide variety of books from magazines to novels and of course newspapers. A typical day in my school usually starts off with a solid 20-minute reading period. This reading period is considered sacred. We read the day's newspapers, allowing ourselves to keep up with the world news. During recess if I have time, I will read the month's issue of "Reader's Digest". After school it is just homework, homework and homework so as you can see I really have no time to even sit down for an hour to do some reading.

However, when the weekends come, it is rest and relax. I am able to settle comfortably in my sofa, grab any book that gets my attention and savour it. The books can range from IT magazines to sports magazines to any book I buy from the bookshop. Sometimes I even read story books that goes like this " One fine day, little pig went out to play and he saw a............" Yes, it is childish but guess who I read it to? I read it to my toddler sister of course! She loves to listen to stories. Although she has yet to learn to talk properly, she seems to understand the story.

I really miss the good old days in Primary school when we had more time to spare for leisure reading. I remember reading picture books and stories about animals. Well, those times are now history. We should make do with whatever little time we have now and cultivate a love for books.
