A lot of people wish to be writers some day. They mean that they hope to write stories or books, even novels which many persons will read. But they should know it's impossible that everyone can be a writer. They should understand that they will need to be good readers and to read much in order to be good writers.

Nearly all the great writers read a lot before they started to go to school. And they have kept reading for hours every day since they became good readers. Instead of watching TV in the evening, they spend much of their spare(空闲) time in reading books.

If you are a good reader, you don't need to spend so long doing the reading homework after school. Then you can read other books for fun. As you read so well, you keep looking for more books.

While making up your mind to become a good writer, you had better say to yourself, "I must read more and more if I really want to become a good writer. "
