Subject : Reading Maketh a Man

Dear Kamilla,
Of course, I will help you. Reading is my forte. Everyone should indulge in reading
especially as a hobby.
Emphasise and elaborate these points for a good presentation. Reading enables one to
fill the mind with knowledge. The brain stays healthy through mental stimulation, stress-free,
acquires vocabulary and boost memory skills. Ultimately, reading helps to better writing skills.
Encourage them to step away from the computer for a little while, crack open a book, and
replenish the mind for a little while.
All the best and congratulations for your appointment.
Kathleen

INFO CORNER

Reading books is vital for learning new languages, as non-native speakers gain exposure to words
used in context, which will ameliorate their own speaking and writing fluency. One can gain stronger
analytical thinking skills e.g. determine ‘whodunnit’ by noting details and solving the mystery before
finishing an amazing mystery book.
