B     If you enjoy reading, the world in books will become a place which is not to be experienced in watching television only for entertainment. Studies have shown how those who read for pleasure achieve more in literacy (读写能力) and thinking abilities than those who don't. Actually, there is nothing else that will expand your language skills and make your imagination fly.     To begin with, language skills can be better learned through reading for pleasure than through watching TV for entertainment.
