As is symbolically portrayed in the cartoon, when a teacher assigns her student to read a literature book, she tells him to think of it as a long text-message.

Since reading literature can not only broaden our horizon but also enrich our mind, it is imperative for us to read literature. To be specific, reading classic works is a real eye-opener, from which we can acquire theoretical knowledge of different historical events and cultural traditions. In addition, the moral outlooks and views of life revealed in great works offer great nourishment and contribute to our growth and wisdom.

Then normally I will get the power and overcome any difficulties. To conclude, reading literature regularly is crucial to a more colorful and wiser life.
