Writing prompt: We Are What We Read

Student essay:
Reading is one of the most important parts of our life. We can learn more knowledges , improve our grade and open up our eyes by reading. Reading is not only for study but also a good way to relax our hearts. Reading makes a person graceful. During the afternoon you can sit in the sunshine, drink a cup of tea and read a book. This is so a relaxing thing. People who regard reading books as a hobby often give us a different feeling. Just like an old Chinese saying says reading a good book is like talking to a good man. When you read by heart you will find more than you can find through the daily life. When we read some poems we just like the poet, when we read the moving stories we just like the hero of the story. Reading influences us deeply. So we are what we read.
