You can benefit from reading in the near-term
too. Reading provides knowledge. Knowledge
is power. Therefore, reading can make you a
more powerful person. You can leam to do
new things by reading. Do you want to make
video games? Do you want to design clothing?
Reading can teach you all this and more. But
you have to get good at reading, and the only
way to get good at something is to practice.
Read everything that you can at school,
regardless of whether you find it interesting.
Reading expands your vocabulary. Even a
"boring" text can teach you new words.
Having a larger vocabulary will help you
better express yourself. You will be able to
speak, write, and think more intelligently.
What's boring about that?
