#2 Can I consider myself a good reader and writer?

Basically, the more you read the better writer you become. It is practice which can make one a good reader or writer. The more you will practice reading or writing, you would be able to get into it and improve your skills.

         I am asked to evaluate myself as a reader and as a writer. Can I consider myself good at both? Yes, why not. I used to read academic books like literature. I also love reading some reading materials like magazines, newspapers and the like. But I always make time to read those required in school.

            Before, I really find it tiresome when I read academic books. Nevertheless, I should have to read those as part of my assignment in school. So when I got used to it, I no longer find it uninteresting to do. Well, in fact, I read more and more. Reading is not just merely reading, of course. It shall be done with comprehension and the reader shall put interest onto the text he is reading. It is one way to easily absorb the in depth meaning of the text he is actually reading.

            Writing is, indeed, the reciprocal of the reading. I may be good at reading. But when it comes to writing, my ability is not as good as with my ability in reading. When I make an essay, it really takes time for me to compose five hundred words writing. Therefore, I need to practice myself in writing. And it is associated with inspiration to make a wonderful composition.
