Introduction
A home without books is like a body without a soul – Mahathir Mohamad
Reading can be either you read a books, magazines, online articles, journals, comics and others
books. Reading provides us with many inputs. Not only through fictions, we gained much
knowledge through non-fictions books too. When was the last time you read a book? What was
the last book do you been read?
There are many benefits when we read a books, with this I would like to talk about the
advantages of reading which is Influence your way of thinking, increased vocabulary, and
Reading reduces stress.
Body
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Let me bring you to my first point which is influence your way of thinking. Studies have proven
that reading stimulates your brain which is reading can sharpens your memory, increase
learning capacity and make your mind stronger. If you want to change your mind, you have to
change your brain. Two mechanisms are long term potential and plasticity, each time you read
the connection between neurons becomes stronger. Next, by reading more books and exposing
yourself to new and more complete information, you will be able to come with more creative
ideas. For example, do you watch cartoon, Jimmy Neutron? the genius boy. Jimmy is genius
inventor, he create a lot of invention that can help people around him. He got a lot of ideas
through his reading and that influenced his way of thinking.
The next advantages of reading which are increased vocabulary. Have you ever wondered why
you don't have strong vocabulary? To increase your vocabulary you need to take three steps
which is the first step to improve your vocabulary is to read. Many things are around you that
you can grab and read. It is good idea to visit library, in there you find many resources such as
books, articles, newspaper, and magazine. Highlight the important words. By reading you will
come to understand how and when to use specific words. The second step to improve your
vocabulary is to use dictionary. It is always a good idea to memorize 2-3 words per day. Try to
memorize as many words as you can. It's good idea to write down the words for practice, which
helps memorize the words. And the last step to improve your vocabulary is talk with friends after
your finish reading. In a way it's beneficial because you get the confident of what you can talk
about. Practice is important when it comes to your vocabulary. As in the phrase "practice makes
perfect”. So to have the good vocabulary you must practice to speak with others people after
your finish a reading.
Last but not least, reading can reduce your stress. According to the University of Sussex (United
Kingdom) studies, reading for just six minutes has been shown to reduce stress by 68 percent.
Subjects only needed to read, silently, for six minutes to slow down the heart rate and ease
tension in the muscles. In fact it got subjects to stress levels lower than before they started.
Besides that, psychologists believe this is because the human mind has to concentrate on
reading and the distraction of being taken into a literary world eases the tensions in muscles
and the heart. By gaining the knowledge you need to solve problems. For example, let's say
you're overweight and this is causing you stress. You find that the more weight you gain, the
more stressed you become, which just causes you to eat more. Instead of getting stressed out,
why not read a good book about nutrition that will teach you how to plan meals better, so they're
low-calories and low-fat. This could very well result in reducing your weight problem and it could
even disappear altogether along with the stress that is bringing you down.
Conclusion
Last word from me, reading have a lot of advantages of which is Influence your way of
thinking, Increased vocabulary, and by reading can reduces your stress. So after hearing about
advantages of reading how many people want start reading?
