Reading 9

Have you ever listened to a book on tape? I have. One month ago, I listened to my first book on tape. It was really great. I found that books on tape have a lot of advantages. For example, books on tape are great for people who are too busy to read. I love reading, but I do not have much free time during my day to read for fun. I spend a long time at school every day. Then, when I come home at night, I have to do my homework. I go to bed late and get up early. My only free time is early in the morning, but that is when I exercise, l am too busy to read! But books on tape let me enjoy fun stories. Books on tape make it possible for me to do two things at once. For example, I like to go running early in the morning before breakfast. I was very happy when I tried running and listening to my book on tape at the same time. I got lost in the story and forgot that I was running. I ran longer than I expected because I liked listening to the story so much. So, that is another good thing about books on tape. They let me enjoy stories while I do something else, and they help me exercise more! I can also listen to a book white I am riding the bus to school. I could never read a book on the bus because it made me feel sick. But listening to a book on tape on the bus does not make me sick. It is wonderful, l just look out the window as I ride and forget all about the people around me.
