初二英语作文:读书的价值

　　People often say that gold and silver are the most valuable things in the world. But I don't think so. In my opinion, to read books is more valuable than anything else.

　　The old saying“To open a book is always helpful”clearly shows us how good it is to read a book.

　　Books are our friends. They introduce us different kinds of knowledge.They lead us down the road to success.

　　Books are our teachers. They teach us truth, science, literature, and philosophy of life, besides they increase our knowledge, enlarge our experience, strengthen our character and do many other things which we can not do without them.

　　We have to learn as long as we live. But our life is limited, and the knowledge is boundless. There are many things which are very necessary to learn and there are also many which should be avoided. Books tell us what is good and what is evil. And only books can tell the good from the bad.

　　Therefore to read more books is the best policy for our young students.
