A paragraph that advises your friend about the importance of reading

Reading is important because it develops the mind. The mind is a muscle. It needs exercise. Understanding the written word is one way the mind grows in its ability. Teaching young children to read helps them develop their language skills. It also helps them learn to listen. Reading helps children [and adults] focus on what someone else is communicating.

Dear "friend",

                        I hope this letter finds you well, especially during times such as these. I understand the number of hours in a day are limited, however, I must urge you to find time in your day to read a literary work. Amidst the chaos of life, a book can be a great way to temporarily escape. Reading provides neural stimulation, and expands your vocabulary. The only negative effect of reading is you may lose a sense of time, as you find yourself deeply engrossed in the novel. I hope you consider my suggestion, and set aside time to read.
