TASK II

Read text below carefully and answer following questions!

WHY BOOKS ARE IMPORTANT FOR US?

A wise man once said, “learning without book mean nothing.’ In my opinion this statement is true. Why do I say that? This is for several reasons.

Firstly, books are important because they develop the minds of people who read them. Even if you don’t agree with what an author has done in a book, you can at least have formed your own ideas on what would have been better. This leads to critical thinking skills. These critical thinking skills are a necessity for the development of cultures.

Secondly, book contains so much more than just the story. They record facts. They review history. Books are the documentations of themes that relate to everyone. You can even learn about a period in history just looking at what books were popular and published during that time. For instance, the classic tales of two cities by Charles dickens is set in the French revolution era.

The last thing I’ll say is that books are essential to life because they do not only carry knowledge, but they also entertain us. They entertain us with stories ranging from mystery and drama to comedy, adventures and autobiographies. In other word, you can read book about anything. These possibilities are limitless and that is one of the many lessons you can learn from reading books.

Based on the reason listed above, it is obvious that books have a great influence in our lives. Without book we may learn nothing.

More room for parks and trees. Think of the money we’ll all save by consuming less gas, spending less frequently on car repairs, and so on. That money will stay in our wallets and we could then turn around and give the economy a boost by spending it on other consumer goods or services. More jobs.
