Having
a great collection of books at home doesn't really mean that you are a person
who has a passion for literature and reading. It can be a family inheritance (继承) or it can be just to impress people around you about the fact that
you are a person of culture. On the other hand, there are many persons who
cannot afford to buy books, because some of them are quite expensive, but they
usually go to libraries and spend hours reading something that interests them a
lot, or just borrow books to read at home.
From
my point of view, literature is very important in our lives from several points
of view. For example, reading is a means of gaining culture and enriching our
knowledge in different areas of activities. It can help us have a great
imagination and it makes things easier when it comes to making compositions on
different themes. It gives you the possibility to speak about science, even if
you don't work in this field, or you can express your opinion about a political
aspect, just because you have read something connected to that.
Secondly,
literature offers us the possibility to enter the world of imagination, and to
leave apart the real one for a couple of hours. We come to meet kings and
queens many years ago, dream in the world of the rich or imagine how life will
be in the future. Sometimes, we identify ourselves with the characters in the
stories we read and they can give us some clues to solve our problems and how
to react in certain circumstances.
To
conclude, I would like to say that literature is the perfect means to enrich
our culture, to express correctly and have a rich vocabulary, to be able to
interfere (干涉) in conversations in
different fields of interest and to really be considered an erudite
person.
