Prompt:

Two main types of books: fiction (novels and stories) and non-fiction (histories, biographies, and self-help books). Which do you prefer to read? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.

Response:

Some people like to read fiction books, while others enjoy reading non-fiction books. Reading fiction books, such as novels, is very interesting and fun. This is considered by some people as one way to be relax. However, I generally prefer to read non-fiction books especially biographies for the following reasons.

First of all, biographies are telling about famous person's live. They describe ways or important steps how the person achieves his success. For example, when I read the Biography of Ronald Reagan, I know that he has a strong personality that it attracted people to vote him as a President of The United States of America. By reading this I know that strong personality is one of qualities that I must posses to be successful.

Another reasons why I like to read biographies is that most of them reveal some stories about a famous person that no one know about it before. It is very interesting. In fact, I judge the quality of its writer by this criteria. For example, in Ronald Reagan's biography I have found that he was an actor before. It was new to me because I was not an American. I did not have any information about him until I read this book.

Last but not least, it is because a biographies have a high value. As we know that to write this kind of book is not easy. It required high quality in writing skills as well as a tenacity to have a contact with the person whose life is going to be written. In fact, to meet with a famous person needs many efforts and involves high risk sometime. For instance, how to write a biography of Surio Bejo, a political actor in My Country, since military junta in that particular country isolated her from external contact.

All in all, I love to read biographies because they are very interesting and have a high historical value. In addition, it gives me a lot of lessons how to achieve success.
