For ages, reading and writing has been vital aids to the intellectual, emotional and spiritual growth
of mankind. But with rapid changes in the society and scientific advancement of human race over
the decades, the necessity and importance of reading and writing has increased remarkably.
Several reasons account for the lesser importance of reading and writing in the past. Firstly,
education was restricted to certain sections of the society and not everyone benefited from its
advantages. Only the learned few enjoyed intellectual satisfaction. Knowledge was not shared
freely due to lack of proper means of communication, thus preventing many from realizing the
benefits of education and learning. Secondly, technology was not so advanced in the past. Hence
the general pace of life was slower than it is now and people did not feel the need to keep
themselves abreast of affairs around them. In other words, the need did not arise for mass
awareness and participation in efforts for intellectual enlightenment through reading and writing.
Nevertheless, writing was a more popular than reading since it was the most common means of
communication - in the form of letters.
However, at present the scenario has changed considerably. Innovation and change are integral
parts of life. Now advancement in technology marks the day. To cope up with the rapidly evolving
new ideas and concepts, reading has become more important now than ever before. Invention of
high-tech gadgets and state-of-the-art information systems in areas of communication, transport
and general business demands more awareness about contemporary events and changes With
advancement in technology, man's eagerness to succeed has increased. Consequently the
realization has dawned on him that such dreams can be materialized through intellectual
advancement - a feat possible only through self reading and personal research. With the invention
of computer has commenced an age of electronic communication and online commerce. Although
writing letters has decreased considerably with the advent of electronic mail, it will take some
time to make our varied businesses paperless. Thus though reduced, people still do some writing,
wither in forms of documents, memorandums, business contracts or research papers. Education
has made people more aware of his potential and reading and writing has become instrumental to
man's success in today's competitive world.

Today more than at any time in the history of the world it is important to be able to read and
write. This change has been brought about by the Internet which we use to communicate with one
another, to get our news, and to sell our products.
Millions of people communicate today through e-mail using the Internet. In the past people would
have face-to-face meetings or call one another on the phone; today they use e-mail and chat
rooms. It is obviously necessary to be able to read and write in order to participate in this
technological revolution.
Today, one can subscribe to news and information services on the Net. When you turn on your
computer in the morning, you are given the headlines, financial news, sports scores, or social
events that you requested. The news is tailored to your specifications. In the not distant past, most
people got their news from television or radio-as many still do. Yet, getting your news from the
Internet is more efficient since the news is tailored to your specific interests.
E-commerce also demands that people be able to write and read. Of course, the people who
design the retail web sites, must be able to express themselves clearly in writing. The potential
customers must he-able to read the product descriptions. In the past, people would go into stores
(as many still do) and point to objects that they would like to buy. This physical approach to
shopping does not require any special language skills.
The Internet will force us all to be literate not only in reading and writing, but also with
computers. Today, we must be skilled readers and writers to be successful in the high tech world.

Our health is the only thing we really have in the world. You can take away our money, our
house, or our clothes and we can survive. Take away our health and we will die. That is why I eat
healthfully, exercise regularly, and keep up my social life.
Eating healthfully is important to maintain one's health. I try to avoid foods high in fat like French
fries or cookies. I also try to limit the amount of animal protein I consume. I never eat more than a
few ounces offish or chicken a day and I rarely eat meat. I eat a lot of vegetables and fresh fruit
which are full of fiber and vitamins. It is important to know how to cook these foods so the
nutrients are not lost in the cooking process.
Your muscles must continue to be strong to support your body as it grows older. Exercise helps
the bones build density and helps you maintain your posture. A regular exercise program of
cardiovascular training and weight training is an important part of keeping you healthy.
Friends are an important part of one's health. Studies have shown that people with a wide range of
social contacts get fewer colds and have fewer complaints than those who don't. Laughing is also
an important part of health. Hike to laugh with my friends and I always feel better when I am with
them than when I am alone.
By eating properly and exercising regularly, I can keep my body at an appropriate weight and can
maintain my health. By spending time with my friends, I can keep my mind as well as my body
happy. It's all apart of my recipe for healthful living.

Volunteering a few hours each week to some community activity is an important way of investing
in the future of our society. I chose to spend my time working with elementary school children
helping them to learn to read. Developing good reading skills will help these students keep up with
their classmates, open new worlds to them, and help them succeed in life.
Students who are not good readers cannot keep up with their studies. They will not understand the
lessons; they will come to school unprepared; they will not be able to perform. By learning to
read, students will be on equal footing with their classmates. They will be active participants in
class.
Books on different lifestyles, occupations, cultures, or governments will open new doors to
students. Students who can't read will only know what they see around them. Students who can
read will be able to travel to new worlds and experience new ideas without ever leaving their
classrooms.
Today, a person who can't read is severely handicapped. A non-reader will have to work at the
most menial jobs. Readers, especially good readers, have the whole universe open to them. They
will have the possibility to learn any job that interests them. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
