Topic 069: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People should read only those books that are about real events, real people, and established facts. Use specific reasons and details to support your opinion.

Obviously people have to read books about real events and facts to understand more about the real world, but I believe it’s as important to read fiction as nonfiction. Fictive story helps you relax, develop your creativity and appreciate the real world.

First of all, reading a unrealistic fiction, I can feel relaxed. After a long day of hark work at school, I want to relieve stress by reading a fictitious novel. With this kind of novel, I don’t need to think so seriously. For example, I got into a habit of reading a few pages of Harry Poster before going to bed. After that, I can sleep well and get ready to work tomorrow.

Furthermore, fiction helps us develop our creativity. When you read stories, you try to imagine what the places and characters in story look like, you also try to imagine the situations that the character facing. Especially to children, if you drive them to read some books contained only facts, they sooner get bored. How their imagination developed? Because of that, many fictitious books published to help children be more creative today. Beside reading facts, we need to help them access this kind of story as well. Hence, reading fiction can promote creativity in life, it’s the catalyst for invention.

Lastly, fiction can teach us to appreciate our lives. Some fictions based on miserable or unhappy stories around us. By reading it, we all have the sympathy of compassion toward characters. “The little match girl” is an example. When reading this story, we have feeling that we are today so much luckier than she was. Hence, if we all have awareness of how lucky we are now, our lives will be better because everybody highly appreciate it.

In conclusion, alongside with reading nonfiction, reading fiction can also be helpful in one’s life. The best recipe for reading is to read both fiction and nonfiction, which will provide a reader with a more well-rounded view of the world we live in.

I think its important to read stories that are based on real people and events but that doesn't mean that u don't have to read stories that are based on false characters or events. These stories help us to think more.Real stories just tell us about what had happen in reality but false based stories tells us everything that should have happened and they also help us to think more creative because false based stories have many good morals than in the true based stories...
