Books. Why do we read презентация

What is a book?
Book is a written or printed work consisting of pages glued or sewn together along one side and bound in covers.

Why do we read?
Most of us have been reading since we were very young, but how many of us really think about the “why” behind the words? Why do we read? The simple answer is for pleasure.
We read to feel less lonely, to feel more connected to the greater reality of what has happened or is happening or may happen outside of our direct experience.
Books teach us to live. They give us a lot of experience and knowledge.
Life is full of challenges. Reading inspirational books about life experiences can change our lives.

Studies have shown that reading has strong positive effects on the brain. Reading books is a great way to exercise your brain and keep it healthy.
Reading has a positive effect on the body as well. Reading a book can relieve stress better than taking a walk or listening to music.
Every time you read a book, you have to remember the setting of the book, the characters, their backgrounds, their history, their personalities, the sub-plots and so much more. As your brain learns to remember all this, your memory becomes better.
