I agree with Jasmine because reading does help one relax and kill time and while you are doing that, you take in some knowledge by reading instead of wasting your time by playing video games, computer or watch television and not gaining anything useful. i also agree with her as reading books helps to improve your vocabulary as there might be some good phrases in the book which you can learn from. Reading also does improve your oral skills especially when you read aloud. It can help you read more fluently. Therefore, i agree with Jasmine.

I think that reading is important to today's teenagers, as reading helps them know more words or phrases which can help them to write well in their compositions. Reading is also important because it gives teenagers some common knowledge and reading can help students score well in their oral exams in the reading component because they practice it when they are reading books. Also, when teenagers encounter a word which is new to them, they tend to look up a dictionary to find out the meaning of the word. Each storybook has a moral of it at the end thus, reading storybooks can help learn from these storybooks.

However, some teenagers might find storybooks too boring to be read. Well, they can try reading the newspaper where they can read up about what's happening in the world right now. If they still think that newspapers are boring too, they could read magazines which they might find interesting and attractive as their favourite singer, actors or actresses might be in the cover page. Although magazines do not have a moral behind them, like storybooks, or tell you about what's happening in the world, like newspapers, at least they find it interesting to read and at least they read, because teenagers nowadays like things that are interesting.

Therefore, i think that reading is important to today's teenagers.
