高一英语作文：读书的好处

When I m free or in trouble, I always take out a book and read quietly. In no time, I've put my heart into it so that I'll forget all the troubles. It's in this way that I've formed the habit of reading in any time.

Little boys as I was, I was interested in picture books and storybooks. I was struck by them. No sooner had I entered the middle school than I began to read novel, plays, and essays and so on. I found I could get much from them. Little by little I took great interest in literature and last term I won the first prize in the composition contest among middle-school students in Zhe Jiang.

Reading The Emperor's New Clothes, I let out a burst of laughter over his fool. The Little Match Girl couldn't keep me from crying for her misery. Robinson Crusoe took me into a strange world full of danger. And I was also deeply impressed by Helen Keller's patience and perseverance. Besides these, books also tell me other things--how to be a man and how to tell the difference between right and wrong. In a word, good books can make me know what I didn't know before. So I think of a good book as my best friend.

I'll never forget this famous saying, Good books are best friends who never turn their backs upon us.
