SCMP Reporter

Reading is definitely the best way to  gain knowledge and  the best form of entertainment.
I love reading. I often carry a book in my  bag so I can read any time: when I'm waiting for friends, when I'm taking a bus or train and even when I'm having lunch.
Some people  say  they want to read but they have no time. But I think  if you really want to do something, you can always find the time.
There are a lot of times when you aren't actually doing anything and could be reading a book instead.
So, do not try to find excuses anymore. Take action!
Sharon Kwok, Christian Alliance S.C. Chan Memorial College
From the Editor
Thanks for your letter, Sharon. You're right when you say it's always possible to find the time to do things if we really want to do them.
Even though Hong Kong is a small city with very efficient transport, most people spend at least 30 minutes a day getting to places. You can read a lot in 30 minutes.
Reading is one of the best ways of improving yourself. It helps expand your vocabulary and makes you more creative.
Some people claim they find reading boring. But it's more likely that they haven't found a genre they like. It's important to take time to explore different styles of writing until you find something you like.
Make time to discover the joy of reading.
Karly, Sub-editor
