-greeting-

        Ladies and gentleman,  let us pray to the Almighty Allah swt who has given us his blessings and grace in this room. And I would like to thank to the more honorable teachers and seniors, and also for my  beloved friends who have given me an opportunity to stand here. First of all, I would like to introduce myself, my name is………..

        Ladies and gentleman, today I will give a speech about “importance of reading books”. Why do I take this title? Because, in this century, with all of advanced technologies. I am worried if book has been ignored by us. So, let me open up your mind about how importance reading books for us?

        When technology was not so much forward that it created some milestones in the form of computer and television, at that time of the century people used to read books as their primary leisure activity. But the times have changed  and people today have lost their innate passion for reading. But this does not mean that one should neglect the books completely. Recent studies have proven that at least half hours of reading a day keeps a person abreast with varied styles of writing and improves the vocabulary.

        As compared to other means of entertainment that includes listening to music, playing games and watching television, reading books is the most productive one as one improves vocabulary and improves word power. Additionally scientific researches have proved that children and teenagers who love reading have comparatively higher IQ level as compared to those who watch television. Moreover, they are dexterous, creative and do better in school and education and therefore teachers recommend parents to inculcate the benefits of reading in their kids right from the time when they are young.

        It is known that reading increases mental development and stimulates the muscles of eyes there by improving concentration and observation ability. Not only this, reading is one of a kind activity that involves higher concentration and also improves the conversational or communication skills of the readers. Reading enables you to learn new found words and phrases that can be used in day to day conversations and this habit becomes a healthy addiction so that one gathers their own information banks right in their minds.

        Reading books that interest you expose you to more and more information which facilitates one to come up with innovative and creative ideas. All this improves your reasoning skills and develops your capabilities to understand various objectives and their possible solutions at once.

Reading books has many benefits both mentally and morally. your mind will be active and engaged into old age, and reading can help you forget the problems in your life, and get you captivated by the adventures of someone else. Reading is a fun and great way to leave the stresses of your life and just unwind.

Did you know that reading can keep your mind active and engaged well into old age?

Okay, for the example.. there is a woman who was a resident at a local nursing home. She was 100 years old and she reads at least one book a week. And she was bright, intelligent and fun to talk with. She thought read helps her to keep up with what’s going on in the world. And also she said that “"When I go somewhere, I have to go in a wheelchair now. But when I read, I can go anywhere, anytime I want. And no one has to help me!"
Reading has other benefits, as well.
Reading also sets a good example for younger generations.
If  the opportunity presents itself, I urge you to take the time to read. Everyone will benefit. You. Our society. And  the world as a whole.

Okay, that’s all that I can deliver to you. I hope it will be useful for you and not only say “yes, I will” but do it. So, we can keep reading for our media that help us to see the world, not just for entertainer. Happy reading guys. Wass.
