Reading,There I am!
Lots of my friends call me Obama.I often wondered why they think I look like Barack Obama, but I finally figured it out.First, my skin is black because I often play basketball in the open air.Second, I have a big mouth.Finally, I always deliver my speeches loudly.My friends ask me: \"Are you imitating Obama’s speech?” I say \"No, I am imitating Li Yang’s!”
Actually, I admire Obama not because he looks like me but because he has the habit of reading.When coming acro some troubles, he turns to books for help.Therefore somebody said that you can tell what is on Obama’s mind and what Obama intends to do only by knowing what books he’s reading.Should someone say that I love reading as much as Obama, I will be happy.
Even as a young boy I was interested in picture books and storybooks.Once my cla and history teacher were amazed after I gave a
detailed description of the war between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu.I was able to do this because I had read the whole story in a cartoon drawn by the Hong Kong artist Tony Wong.As you can see, I gain knowledge through reading.
Last year, we had a debate competition.Before the game, we collected plenty of books relating to the subject of the debate.We absorbed fresh ideas and we practiced our debating skills according to the guidance of the books.And finally, we won the game.
Not only have I learned skills through reading, but I also cultivate my spirit by communicating with the noble authors.I enjoy talking with Benjamin Franklin.It seems that this wise man wants to show his whole life to me and give me some advice.I enjoy communicating with Helen Keller through our souls.I am always deeply impreed by her patience and perseverance.I enjoy listening attentively to Kai-fu Lee.I was suddenly
enlightened when I heard his words “Be your personal best”.
Good books are best friends who never turn their backs upon us.I will spare no effort to read as many books as poible, not because I want to be president of a nation like Obama, but because I want to pursue my own happine.My friends, please come with me and let’s share the joy of reading.
