There’s three months’ holiday ahead of you. Why don’t grab a book and discover a new world? You’ll
get a lot out of it!

Reading is essential to communication, especially in an era of emails and texting. Beyond even that,
though, reading has a number of crucial purposes. It will help improve your English vocabulary and
text comprehension. You'll learn about other places, other times, and other cultures. You'll
encounter issues you can relate to—issues that speak to you and challenge you to think and feel in
new ways. You will grow empathetically and intellectually. Plus, you'll understand more of the
references that crop up all the time in pop culture.
