I Like To Read Books
Sophie is a young girl who loves to read books. Every day, she spends time reading her favorite stories and exploring new worlds through literature. Her favorite genre is fantasy because she loves the magical creatures and the adventures that the characters go on.
Sophie’s parents are happy that she enjoys reading because they know that it’s important for her education. They encourage her to read as much as she wants and even take her to the library to pick out new books.
One day, Sophie was walking home from the library with a stack of books in her arms. She was excited to start reading them and couldn’t wait to see what adventures awaited her in the pages.
When she got home, Sophie went to her room and sat down on her bed with one of the books. She opened it up and began to read. She was quickly drawn into the story and lost track of time.
Before she knew it, it was dinnertime. Sophie’s mother called up to her room, “Sophie, it’s time to come eat!”
Sophie put down her book, reluctantly, and went downstairs. She talked with her family about her day and told them about the new books she had picked up from the library.
After dinner, Sophie went back up to her room and continued to read. She lost track of time again and before she knew it, it was time for bed. She put the book down and went to sleep, dreaming of the magical creatures and adventures that awaited her in her books.
