Reading is a very important element in the process of learning foreign languages. Without this skill we can't find a good job or pass a professional exam.

First of all,reading enriches our vocabulary.When we are reading,we find a lot of new words we have never used before,which forces us to search for these words in a dictionary.Farther-more when we look at the text it helps us to remember the spelling of the words and the structures of the sentences.Finally the author teaches us how to describe events and does it in a way we want to read his story.The language of the books is quite different from spoken language,it's a much more beautiful language.

On the other hand,for some students reading is quite a boring thing.They claim that it's a waste of time.Nowadays there are a lot of movie adaptations they can watch on TV or in the cinema. Reading takes too much time and the language of the books is too difficult for them.Films bring them much more pleasure than reading.They don't need to think of the words they don't understand because they see what is going on.

To sum up. I think that reading books in English is  a great help for all learners,but the teachers should find a suitable book for every single student.
