Примерный ответ
Now I’m going to give a talk about reading books.
In my opinion, reading books is really popular now. Many of my friends and classmates are fond of them, especially they prefer to read romantic novels and detective stories.
Nowadays many people argue if libraries are necessary or not. As for me, they are important because they can teach us about the culture of reading. A librarian is the person who can give teens lectures on how to read a book properly, to enjoy every page of it.
Personally I have recently read “Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins. It’s a real page-turner! It tells us a story of a girl whose name is Katniss Everdeen. She lives in the future in North America. She and 11 other teens are selected by lottery to take part in the Hunger Games, a battle to the death.
In the end I would like to say that reading books is my cup of tea. If I start reading a good book, I simply can’t put it down until I’m done reading it. I can even forget about doing my homework! So, I can say I’m an enthusiastic reader.
That’s all what I wanted to say.
