Nowadays, reading is something undervalued. Before Social Networks appeared, reading was one of the most common hobbies. However, now most people prefer to be with their phone or computer instead of reading a book. I remember that when I was a kid I loved reading and nowadays children don't want to take a book, they think it is boring and I can't understand that. It is true that I don't read as I used to do it. But it is because I have more homework and more things to study so my free time is very little. Reading is something amazing. It makes you feel things that you can't feel watching a film. The fact of imagining all the scenery, characters, stories... I love it. In a film, you are seeing everything clearly and I think it's good to think and to exercise your brain.
