C
As a child, I was quite active. I was running around and getting hurt almost every day. My mom was worried. A neighbour advised me to learn to fish. I liked the 1, but my mom said no. She thought it was dangerous to get 2 to rivers.
At last, my mom got another idea. Every day, she made me sit at the desk and read for an hour. I hated reading and 3 a lot. Then, my uncle, a school teacher, came to help. He led me to my desk and told me to 4 one book. “Read just twenty pages. If you still feel 5 after that, just put it down and choose another one,” he said.
I started with The Emperor’s New Clothes. After I read twenty pages as my 6 suggested, I was rolling on the floor and laughing. What a stupid emperor! Next, I read
more books. As time went on, I was able to understand the stories 7. So I started reading longer and more serious books. I fell in love with Journey to the West. My mom said I should spend more time playing outside. But I didn’t want to 8 the book.
To this day, I read every day. If you haven’t yet experienced the fun of 9, take my uncle’s advice and find the right books. They’ll give you 10, teach you something new, and even change your life.
