Let me explain a bit, by telling you where the challenge came from. I have many things in common with my dad, like music taste and sense of humor, but sadly reading isn抰 one of them. I can happily spend a whole day with a book, but my dad can抰 read a book for longer than about 5 minutes. He reads emails, websites and papers for work, but not books. He抯 busy, so I think sitting down to read for just 15 minutes a day is a good way to relax and to introduce him to reading. My dad is not the only person who avoids books. I know lots of people would rather relax on their computers or in front of the TV. Everyone is different and has their own interests, but I think there are lots of benefits to reading, which screen-based activities don抰 have. Firstly, it抯 better for your eyes. Looking at screens can be very stressful for your eye muscles, and clearly you should avoid looking at screens for an hour before bed, to get a good night抯 sleep. One thing I personally love reading, is being transported to another world桰 often forget the time or things around me! Reading is a great way to switch off before you go to bed, because you think more about the world of the book, rather than the real world, so you can truly relax. I know you can be transported to a different world in a film or a TV show, but I think books do it better. I also enjoy hearing what people are doing and finding out what they think. Reading gives me the chance to get to know hundreds of new people! It also teaches you to see things from other people抯 point of view, and understand other people抯 decisions or opinions. With a book, you can hear everything a character is thinking or feeling梱ou really can be inside someone else抯 head! So give it a go! Take 15 minutes when you are waking up, going to bed, eating lunch, or having a coffee. If you read a lot, why not try 15 minutes of an English book, or pass the challenge on to someone else?
