Why Reading Is Important

Kali ini saya ingin membagikan tulisan saya yang semula untuk merampungkan tugas Bahasa Inggris membuat free speech, dalam hal ini tipe exposition text. Hehe kalo ada tugas aja baru mau nulis ya:( Agak susah ternyata buat nulis kalau enggak kepepet. Nah saya memilih topik "Why Reading Is Important?" karena saya sendiri percaya betapa banyaknya kegunaan membaca. Membaca benar-benar mengubah seseorang, yang semula tidak mengerti menjadi mengerti, tidak berilmu menjadi berilmu, bodoh jadi pintar, dan lain-lainnya. Membaca adalah salah satu jalan termudah untuk seseorang memperluas wawasannya, makanya Tuhan dulu menyampaikan wahyu pertama kepada nabi utusannya dengan memerintahkan "Iqro'! Bacalah!" di surat Al-Alaq dan ternyata memang bukan main maknanya. Tuhan menyuruh kita membaca karena itu adalah gerbangnya ilmu. Tuhan mau kita belajar dan berilmu dengan cara membaca. Dan emang terbukti kan banyak orang-orang pintar itu bisa gitu karena banyaknya pengetahuan yang mereka dapat dengan buku yang mereka baca. Saya pribadi ngerasain kalo banyak baca, mungkin manfaat yang paling cepet dan kentara adalaah bikin lebih memudahkan ngomong supaya omongannya jadi lebih berisi gitu. Lho malah pidato disini jadinya. Cus disambi ngemil, semoga bermanfaat dan bisa dijadikan referensi untuk membuat speech.
