Well, if you do, did you know there are many reading than entertainment, as Brendon Smith discovered?
.
thought it was boring and preferred to spend time
watching programmes on his computer and playing
video games. But one holiday, he and his family
stayed in a cottage with no internet connection. There
was little to do in the evening once it went dark, so
he picked up a copy of The Hobbit from the cottage's
bookshelf and started to read. Two days later, he was
still reading. He read during car journeys, while the
rest of the family swam in the sea, and as soon as he
finished meals. For Brendon it was a turning point.
After The Hobbit he read The Lord of the Rings, and
then he searched for new authors.
After reading a few books, he started to notice how
his favourite authors used language and realized he
was learning a lot of new words, slowly but surely.
That had a huge effect on how Brendon wrote himself,
and as a result his marks improved at school. But what
he really liked was the incidental information in books
that helped him improve his general knowledge. It
was fun to discover facts from fiction, and he easily
picked up and remembered snippets of information
although he wasn't
trying to memorize them.
Brendon's experience is not surprising. Unlike
watching TV programmes which can be a passive
activity, reading fiction provides us with significant
mental stimulation as it requires us to use our
imaginations. The result is that reading increases
the connections in the brain. Two benefits of this
additional brain power are that we develop better
memories and stronger analytical skills, which means
our problem solving improves.
Video games also require us to solve problems and
can demand we concentrate, but a lot of activities
using computers and phones reduce our ability to
concentrate. On the other hand, reading helps us
increase our concentration as we need to focus in
order to follow the story properly. To concentrate like
this, we have to ignore the outside world and we find
this relaxing. Why? Because our brains don't have
lots of different competing thoughts. So next time you
feel stressed, don't switch on your computer - pick up
a book.
