Reading

"Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess who lived in Buckingham Palace..."

Hi readers, I will be sharing about 'Reading' today. I will first begin by stating the definition of 'Reading'.

Reading is a complex cognitive process of decoding symbols for the intention of deriving meaning and constructing meaning. It is the mastery of basic cognitive processes to the point where they are automatic so that attention is freed for the analysis of meaning.

Many people might ask:"Everyone around the world read, but what is their goal? Why do they want to read? Does reading actually benefit them in any way?"

Frankly speaking, the general goal of reading is the acquisition of meaning from the ordered arrangement of symbols, followed by "reading to obtain understanding" and lastly "reading to obtain information".

Moving on, I shall mention several benefits of reading. Have any of you experienced embarrassing situations where you didn't have anything to talk about to a new friend? Did you hate yourself for making a fool of yourself? Do you want a remedy for this? It is simple. Start Reading. As reading helps to widen your horizon of knowledge, you will always have something to talk about. Furthermore, with a larger range of konwledge, you will easily build a high self-esteem and more people will look for you for answers. Subsequently, holding a book or magazine on your hands while on the bus or MRT makes you seem more like a scholar.

Above are only a few benefits of reading from a small scale, there are still many more awaiting for you, so what are you waiting for? Grab a book and start reading it!
