You overheard the following conversation between two friends:
Ram : Did you read the latest book of Chetan Bhagat?
Shyam : No, I rarely get time to read.
Ram : I heard that it is going to be made into a movie.
Shyam: Then we will go and watch it together.
This dialogue made you realize that the present day generation is not into the habit of reading. The habit of reading has disappeared from the lives of children today. As a concerned parent, write a letter in about 100-120 words to the editor of a newspaper on how reading plays a significant role in shaping the lives of children. You are Ram/ Prerna, 15 Pant Nagar, Agra.
Use the following notes:
• Interesting pastime
• Gives a lot of knowledge
• Get the children interested in books at an early age.

Dear Sir,
Hope this letter finds you well. I am Prema and I am the resident of 12 Pant Nagar, Agra. Today, I am writing this letter to throw light on importance of reading in children’s life. The present day generation is not into the habit of reading. The habit of reading has disappeared from the lives of children today. Reading is important because it advances our thoughts, gives us endless knowledge and lessons to read while keeping our minds lively. Reading books to help us learn and comprehend and makes us smarter, not to remark the knowledge, vocabulary and thinking skills we develop. Reading plays an important role in shaping the lives of people.
