Dear editor.
Students of today are reading more than ever before. Indeed, the importance of reading can never be toomuch stressed（强调）.（阅读的重要性再怎么强调也不为过）
First of all, reading, especially out-of-class（=extracurricular） reading, enriches our minds (充实头脑)and broadens our horizons（开阔眼界）. People say that books are the crystal of human wisdom（人类智慧的结晶）. Through reading, we learn what cannot be learned in class. Besides, reading is also a way of relaxation（消遣/放松的方式）. It is so refreshing（给人以新的力量或活力的; 提神的）to read a story before going to bed, or after a day of study.
There are many famous sayings about reading, like “Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.” Then, how can we develop the habit of reading（养成…的习惯）? In the first place, I believe we need to begin from an early age, then stick to it and never give up. Secondly, we should read books as many as possible, written by different writers.
Best wishes.
Yours sincerely,
Jiang Ping
