My Leisure Activity    My leisure activity is reading story books. It is a very useful pastime. I can improve my knowledge by reading. Apart from that I can get a mental satisfaction by reading. I read books, newspapers and magazines. Reading makes us understand too. When we road novels we come across several characters, both good and bad.  We appreciate the characters and despise the qualities of bad characters. We can learn exemplary qualities of great persons by reading their biographies. The reader enters a new world through books.  An insensitive person can become a sensitive person by reading books. When a person takes to reading, He or she will never compel to waste his or her valuable time on useless things.  📖💚🔗
