Books can be divided into two main types: fiction(novels and stories) and non-fiction (histories, biographis, and self-help books, for example). Which of these two types of books do you generally prefer to read? |
Even though fiction grants interest and plays role of time-killing material, non-fiction books are more helpful. This is one of severl good reasons why I prefer reading histories or biographies to reading novels and stories.
One of reasons why I prefer reading non-fiction is that it provides motivation. That is while one reads some biographies, he/she can earn great personalities. To give an example of this, I read a biography about a famous Fashion marketer, Hee Jin when I was 15 years old. Before I read this, I had no interest of my future. In other words, I didn't think about my future goal. However, while I was reading this hardcover, I was really impressed by her energe. According to the biography, her backgroud was really poor that she couldn't think about her dream. She had to work in food court even though she wanted to study fashion business. However, she tries to save money to go to college. After few years, she could enter the college which was well-known for Fashion and graduate as an excellent student. She also entered one of the famous Fashion company,Gucci, and became an import buyer in Asia Department. After I read it, I could compare my background to her's and feel many things. She had passion for what she wanted and gained her dream step-by-step. Now, I am majored in Fashion and try to do my best to be a professional Fashion buyer. If I didn't read the volume, I may have no dream. For this reason, I obtained great inspiration of my future.
Another reason why I love to read history books is that one can get a substantial amount of information. In other words, one can learn and study easily by reading it. To illustrate this point, my friend,Jina, was really bad at Korean history. Although she was an excellent to other subjects like math, English or Science, she couldn't get over 80 out of 100. That is why she tried to find other methods of studying history. She began to read history books as many as possible and tried to enjoy them. In the beginning, she felt a little bit monotonous, but she was interested in reading them. From reading, she could gain history of Korea logically and become an expert of this subject. After few years, she even got a prize for history competition quiz. Whenever she interviews about her strategy of studyiong history, she always answers that nothing compares to reading history books as many as possible.
From these, compared to other types of books, non-fiction gives many benefits to people. As mentioned above, this type of books grants not only motivation, but also informaiton. After all, how about read a biography today? |
