Debate on are books being burden?
Answers
Good morning everyone present here. Distinguished guests, learned jury, and my dear fellow students, I stand here to expatiate on ‘Are Books Burden’, and I am going to speak against it.
I strongly feel books are one of the best blessings of life. life’s all wisdom is written in books. They are man’s best support system. If there were no books, man would remain in utter darkness. Thinking books as burden is sheer folly and ignorance.
Undoubtedly books are man’s best companions. Books are written by men and women of deep knowledge gained from a long experience. Books give us knowledge, wisdom, vocabulary enrichment, ideas collection, familiarization with different types of writing formats, speaking fluency, imagination, intuition, reasoning skills, etc.
All great men and women have been great readers. In her novel THE STORY OF MY LIFE Helen Keller tells us the magic of reading books. Helen plays a glowing panegyric to books and the enlightening role they played in her otherwise dark life. In chapter 21 of her novel ‘The Story of My Life’ she shares with the audience the deep influence she had from the books since her childhood. She calls books her ‘friends’.
It is true a person who has the reading habit, never feels lonely and bored. The books open up a magical world for him or her and he lives among angels in the pages of the books. Books never let go the readers astray. They make them wise and pragmatic. We must endeavour to develop this fabulous habit of reading. We must also encourage the children to develop love for books. We should keep lots of good books around them.
I conclude my speech by saying that books are not burden; rather they reduce many other burdens in man’s life.
