Read the text and choose the correct answer to the question why the author believes that reading is good for the state of your mind. Reading Did you know that some people don't do their reading home task? It's shocking, but it's true. Some students don't even read short texts that they are given in class. There are many reasons for this. They may be distracted or bored. They may be unwilling to focus. They may be weak readers. Whatever the reason, it has to stop today. Here's why. Reading stimulates your mind. It is like exercise for your brain. When people get old, their muscles begin to get weaker and their strength leaves them. Sports can prevent this loss. The same thing happens to people's brains when they get older. Brains get weaker and slower with age. Reading strengthens your brain and prevents these unpleasant changes. You can benefit from reading in the near future too. Reading provides knowledge. Knowledge is power. Therefore, reading can make you a more powerful person. You can learn 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 practise. Read everything that you can at school, no matter if you find it interesting. Reading enlarges 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? Do not just leave a text because it is unfamiliar to you. Each time you read, you are offered new ideas and perspectives. Reading can change the way that you understand the world. It can give you a broader perspective on things. You can learn how people live in faraway places. You can learn about cultures different from your own. Reading is good for your state of mind. It has a calming effect. It can lower your stress levels and help you relax. You can escape from your troubles for a moment when you read, and it's a positive escape. So do yourself a favour: the next time you get a reading task, take as much as you can from it. Squeeze every drop of knowledge out of it. Then move on to the next one.
