 Many researches had been attempted to reveal the tendencies of the reading
with the changes of the times. The researchers reached the conclusions that
the percentages for the reading are declining undoubtedly.  However,
some people
still emphasizes that the reading skills is essential for the people
to lead their lives. They believe that the reading skills could become
the reliable  source for acquiring useful means  for the sake of the
life. They show us the theises worthy to discuss.
The quotations underneath are the some parts of the theises .

According to  the N.E.A chairman, Dana Gioia, "Poor reading skills
correlate heavily with lack of employment, lower wages, and fewer
opportunities for advancement."
We agree with this.
1) Reading skill gives us wide and deep perspectives  necessary to the
occupation.
2) We think better writing comes from reading skills, and writing
skill could give more chance and opportunity for obtaining the better
job.
3)We think reading skill gives us better knowledge.  If the person
read more and  becomes more qualified than others, the person would be
likely to be chosen by the better companies.


According to Wolf "the time it frees for the brain to have thoughts
deeper than those that came before"

We agree with this because
1) When we are reading a book, we can  imagine enough to travel to
anywhere in our brain.
2)A reading gives us indirect experience,  it could make our thought
deeper and reduce risk in our life.
3) We could understand and learn about other people's life from a book.

According to Proust "all he can do is give us desires."
1)We could learn from a book what we want to
2)A reading could trigger much interests about the world.
3)If we are interested in some place from a book, we would try to travel there.
 Through the discussion, we found there are  much advantages to the reading.
It is important that we use the benefits from the reading.  Some people
feel it is hard to read consistently because the reading requires much patience.
However, we should not forget the value of the reading.
