▶ Your Answer :
Student gain various
knowledges and broaden their perspective through reading a book. In terms of that,
choosing a book is a considerable matter
for students. Then, what kind of book would be an appropriate book?. Some people insist that students should read books
based on their interest. On the other hand, Others asserts that students should
focus more on the books which assigned by their teachers. As far as I’m
concerned, it would be beneficial for students to read the book that appeals to
them.
First and foremost, by
reading book based on their interest will enable them to focus on their
interest. Putting more energy on their
interest could lead them to a course of finding their goals, dream, future
jobs. For example, my friend’s daughter had interest in computer engineering since
high school. But she was assigned to read multiple liberal arts books which she
was not interested. Friend advised her to follow her interest and she focused
more on reading books about coding, computer engineering. Of course, reading liberal
arts would be beneficial to her, but she wanted to focus more on area that
intriguing to her. By reading books based on interest, it became a stepping
stone to her satisfying life. She started grow her dream about getting a job as
a software engineer and working at Silicon Valley as well. As a result, although
she couldn’t have appropriate score in liberal arts, she became the person she
wanted to be, software engineer at Google.
On the other hand,
reading book assigned by teachers is detrimental. Since students have to read
books as assigned, students might lose their interest in reading books. In
worst case, they will start to hate or feel bored with reading books. Of
course, the books assigned by teachers would have absolute worth of reading, but
they won’t enjoy the reading unless they have the interest. Reading a book
should be intriguing to students, not assignment. In addition, students would
be more inactive about reading books. Students will be used to reading only assigned
books, rather than being proactively searching for books they want to read.
To conclude, choosing a book to read between assigned by
teachers or based on student’s interest is an important factor in reading. Although,
students might read only shallow category of books, reading books based on
their interest would be more reasonable approach for students. |
