Sarah

I have to say that lots of my classmates are not keen on reading books. They prefer going to discos, playing computer games or watching TV. I'm a shy person and I am not very sociable. I have few friends but I don't feel lonely because of the books. They take me to a special world full of new friends and adventures.

When I was a little girl and couldn't read at all, I loved turning the pages over and over, looking at the pictures and wondering what the story was about and what would happen to the characters.

I started reading when I was six. While reading I imagined myself travelling to different places, swimming in the oceans and climbing high mountains. I also loved books about space travel.

I think that nearly everything I know came from books. My friends read a lot too and they are interesting to talk to.

Robin

There are a lot of books in my home library. My parents and grandparents collected them for many years. They love reading but I don't. Naturally they tried to teach me to read when I was a small boy. But I was a normal child and I preferred playing with my friends to reading boring books.

At school the situation has become even worse. We are given a lot of homework, so I have to read about history and literature, biology and geography. So much reading every day!

Some time ago my father bought me an electronic reader. It has a function for listening to audiobooks. It's hard to believe but it changed my attitude to literature. At first I listened to it on my way to school. Then I felt so involved with the plot and the characters that I tried to use every opportunity to listen to the story. I even started reading books! Some of them are not bad at all.

I think that the e-reader is a great device. And it's much more popular with teenagers than printed books.
