What do you usually do in your free time? Play sports? Watch TV? How about reading books? You must know the Chinese saying: "Read thousands of books; travel thousands of miles" Books are important in our life. Reading books is good for us. It can help us know and understand the world better. It can help us get a lot of knowledge（知识）. It brings us a new and different world that we have never been before. Almost all the great men like reading, like Chairman Mao and Madame Curie.
In a word, books are helpful to us and we must love them. But before you read, remember to choose a good one. Ask your parents or teachers about what books to read. Be sure you are interested in them. There are many different kinds of books: I like biography（传记） because I can learn something from the characters(角色).
