A very good morning to the
principal, teachers and friends. I
would like to share with you what
reading means to me.

Reading can mean different things

to different people. To some, it is a
frightening experience but to
others, it is rewarding and
enriching.
As for me, I have always enjoyed
reading and it is an essential part of
my life. I love to explore different
worlds. Just imagine being in the
Stone Age or in a legendary world
fighting dragons and magicians.

I find myself drawn to the various

characters I read about. For
instance, I admire the wisdom of
Gandalf, the old wizard with a long,
white beard in the Lord of The
Rings.

I remember how Enid Blyton

changed my life through her Secret
Seven and Famous Five series. It
was a sheer joy to become part of
the adventures and mysteries and
feel the emotions of various
characters in the book.
