Some parent believes that reading books for entertainment is a waste of time for children and they think that their children should read only serious educational books.


One of the most controversial issues related to reading books nowadays is the question that should children read books to widen their academic knowledge or just to be entertained? This essay will further explain that a balanced time between the two may enhance students’ creative thinking skills and knowledge.

First and foremost, there are undeniable reasons why students need to read books for entertainment. Since most students claim that educational book materials may be stressful at times, switching to entertainment books such as comics and magazines may relieve stress. Moreover, books for leisure may enhance students’ creativity that would be applied at school or in their early lives. Take my friend for instance, the way she relaxes after school is to read pocketbook. In this way, she does not only feel refreshed and revitalized but also learn how to deal with daily life’s problems and challenges.



However, it is also clear that as students, they should not lose focus on acquiring knowledge by reading educational materials. This would prepare them to have sufficient knowledge and skills in order for them to ace this challenging and modern world. It also important to note that reading academic books widens children’s vocabulary improves their grammar and acquires new languages.


Taking everything into account, in order for children to be well-rounded people, they should spend a balanced time in reading academic and entertainment books.

ACTIVITY 2 - IGOROTS

Igorots are one of the marginalized groups in the Philippines. What made them different and special among the others? Let me walk you through the simple living of the Igorots in the mountains of the Cordillera. Blame it to e arlier books that taught us in school or inadequate research about us. This had inculcated wrong information for us since then and until now. To exemplify, we were described as people with tails, dark skin, and curly hair and physically short. Additionally, others still think that we are head hunters. In contrast, it is only true to a specific Igorot tribe found in the northern province of Cordillera region. Now, most of us are civilized and educated thus culture and traditions are starting to be modified especially to the new generations where social media has a huge impact on their way of thinking. Though we live up north, we remain abreast on every change. We aim for education and save values enlightened by our beliefs. Our appearance is diverse but we ...

Nowadays, more and more people prefer to socialize online rather than face to face. Is this a positive or negative development? Along with the rapid and constant development of people’s standard of living seen on the utilization of advanced technology, there is an arising issue on what is real socialization. The question is whether socialization through the internet is either a positive or negative change. Although, there may be detriments of online communication, I still concur that this is still a positive development. First of all, socialization online has brought family and friends even closer and stronger.

While in the past, staying in touch with a friend or family member who lives far away is impossible and talking with them over the phone is costly. That is different now, the a...
