At present only a few students do some reading after class. Here are several reasons.
First of all, quite a lot of students are burdened with too much homework. Still others haven't formed a habit of reading. They would rather spend their spare time on TV or on the Internet.
However, reading has many benefits. Through reading we can learn more about the world. Besides, it can help us think better. Last but not least, reading can make our life more colourful.
Here are my suggestions. For one thing, teachers are supposed to limit the amount of our homework so that we can have more time to read. For another, it's a good idea to form reading clubs and learn from each other.
