What gift will you choose for your
friend’s birthday? That is a big problem for some people. But I have never been
bothered by this question. I always buy different kinds of books for my
different friends. Why do I choose this way? You may wonder. I am found of this
way for books have many profits.
First of all, “books are the
stepping stones to human progress.” In
other words, book is one of the significant ways to spread and create
knowledge. This affect acts on both individual and country. I can think of no
better illustration than the following ones.
It is said that children say
anything they want because being short of reading. Thinking about your brothers
and sisters in your family, you will be amazed of their get great important changes
when they enter school. You may wonder that why your sisters or brothers become
to adult suddenly. The reason is that they come into contact with books in
school. Books make potential influences on children’s growth.
Another example is the well-known
great calamity of culture in Qin dynasty of China
These cases effectively clarify that
book plays an important role of promoting the improvement of knowledge.
Furthermore, reading books is a
fashion way to pass time. It has becoming an indispensable part of most
people’s life. And it is wise to reading books instead of surfing online in
spare time. Reading
If we look around, we often find a
lot of friends wasting time online all day long. At the same time, too much
attention to Internet distracts their concerns to the real world. Books are
good gifts for your friends who are indulging in Internet.
Last but not least, the kinds of
books are various. According to the recent survey by Chinese Academy
As has been mentioned, books have so
many profits: they boost knowledge’s development, help us pass time in a valued
way, and create chances for us to choose easily.
I believe that the problem of
choosing gifts for you will not trouble you after reading this essay. When your
friends’ birthdays come, you can give them books as gifts. This measure will
please both your friends and you.

ReplyDeleteI agree that books has a power to effect children. However, I think that it doesn't always effect in good way. Did you know that there's some gender problem in children books? For example, you know that there's a book which have so many picture and less words. As everyone experienced, picture gives many ideas, or creates ideas inside the brain. I think most books has warm family pictures, so imagine the picture of a family, parent and a kid. What are they doing? whose doing what? I think most of books or things you imaged are maybe, mother doing cooking or doing some housework with apron on, and father went to business, and a child in the school or home or somewhere. Did you imaged father doing housework with apron on? Did you imaged mother going to a work? I don't know but most of Japanese children answers the first image. Isn't this funny? My friend researched about the picture book and interviewed children in kindergarden(?) and let them draw a picture. When they draw a picture of parents, mother was wearing an apron which includes the meaning of houseworks. So I agree that reading books are good for learning things, but I think they sometimes give too much infomation.

ReplyDelete"Tell me what you read I'll tell you who you are". This is a proverb that explains how deep can be the influence of books in one's life. Tones of secrets are kept in books and to possessingthem is just a matter of giving some time to reading them.
Thanks Grace, know I know what kind of gift I should get for my friends' birthdays.

ReplyDeleteDon't forget the book burning of our Chairman Mao. Good thing Taiwan took some of those books and saved it. I do agree that books are a great stepping stone for knowledge, but it is also important to look at the context of a book. For example, North Korea has newly released books about how Japan, and China are stockpiling arms for the war against the United States.
Grace, thank you for the gift idea; I think I know a friend who would enjoy a North Korean war book.
