Choice of medium of information sourcing differs from one human being to another. Now, which source is better than other? This conundrum is deliberated in the essay below.
Some people, who read often, exhibit better imagination and demonstrate good language skills. Derek O Brien, a famous quiz master, who is also an avid reader showcases his excellent linguistic talents while hosting his quiz shows. J.K Rowling, author of Harry Potter, portrays intriguing and surreal plots of her writings and takes the reader to another world of wizards and magicians. Children and young people reading these books develop great deal of imagination along with building good vocabulary skills. Many a times, English teachers at school and university insist students to inculcate reading habits from young age so that they develop a good thought process and develop speaking skills.
