It becomes a common tendency these days for students to read literary works on campus. Many people
are opposed to this practice because they think students' chief task is to study and it is not advi-
sable for them to spend time reading novels, poems and plays. They also argue that some of the books
are not healthy and even harmful.
In my mind, however, I can't agree with these people on this occasion. If a person ever wants to be
successful in his life, he should not only master specialized knowledge but also possess liberary
taste. At the same time, literary works are often instructive and inspiring, which can often encou-
rage students to work harder. In addition, it is true that reading novels and poems takes time, but
the students will have nothing to lose if they improve efficiency. Reading classic literature, as far
as I'm concerned, is much better than playing video games and chatting online.
In conclusion, reading literary works can be both beneficial and fruitful if we choose books succes-
sfully and plan our time wisely.
