As a child, I was quite active. I was running around and getting hurt almost every day. My mum was 1. A neighbour advised me to learn to 2. I liked the idea, but my mum said no. She thought it was 3 to get close to any body of water.
At last, my mum got another idea. Every day, she made me sit at the desk and 4 for an hour. I hated reading and cried a lot. Then, my 5, a school teacher, came to help. He led me to my desk and told me to 6 one book. "Read just twenty pages. If you still feel bored after that, just put it down and choose another one," he said.
I started with The Emperor's New Clothes. After I read twenty pages as my uncle suggested, I was rolling (打滚) on the floor, 7. What a stupid emperor! Next, I read more books. As time went on, I was able to easily understand the stories. 8 I started reading longer and more serious books. I fell in love with Journey to the West. My mum said I should spend more time playing outside. But I didn't want to 9 the book.
To this day, I make time to read every day. If you haven't yet experienced the fun of reading, take my uncle's advice and find the 10 books. They'll give you enjoyment, teach you something new and even change your life.
