Why I enjoy Reading I enjoy reading because I can choose a book that I am passionate about without anyone knowing what I am reading. I am a very loud and silly person and if I was watching a very serious [|video] people would laugh but if I'm reading they won't. I also enjoy reading because when I want information I can read [|non-fiction] books or even if I just want to read. Or, when I want a book that isn't realistic I can pick a [|fiction] book. I also enjoy reading because you can always improve and one day I will be able to read very well and be able to [|pronounce] most words right. Reading can also teach how to [|write] by looking at them and sounding them out. _
