sample answer
One person who immediately comes to mind when I think of
someone who loves reading is my childhood friend, Rahul. He’s a real bookworm,
always nose-deep in a novel or some sort of book. I’ve known Rahul since we
were kids. We went to the same school, and we’ve been close ever since. Over
the years, I noticed how much he’s drawn to books, more so than most people I
know.
Rahul has a particular interest in fiction, especially fantasy
and mystery novels. Authors like J.K. Rowling and Agatha Christie are his
favorites. He’s also quite into historical fiction and biographies, which
really shows his diverse reading habits. I remember one time, he recommended a
book called *Sapiens* by Yuval Noah Harari, which is all about the history of
humankind. He was so passionate about it that I couldn’t help but give it a try
myself!
The reason I think Rahul enjoys reading so much is because
it helps him escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. Reading for him is
like diving into another world—he always says it’s the best way to unwind.
Whenever he’s stressed or just needs to relax, he reaches for a book. In fact,
he often tells me that reading expands his horizons and improves his vocabulary,
which is an added bonus.
Another reason he reads a lot could be his natural
curiosity. He’s always been someone who loves to learn new things, and reading
is his way of feeding that curiosity. It’s almost like his thirst for knowledge
is insatiable, and books are the perfect source for that.
All in all, I believe Rahul’s love for reading has shaped
him into the person he is today—well-spoken, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. As
the saying goes, “you are what you read,” and in Rahul’s case, that couldn’t be
more true.
