The most obviously important advantage of books is that they hold all knowledge gained
by previous generations. People write books about their discoveries and inventions, which
are gained through practice and experience. This knowledge is accumulated in books that
are passed from generation to generation. So, basically, people get all knowledge about
the previous achievements from books, analyze it and than, according to their experience
and new data, write new books. In this case, books are the holders of humankind's
experience.
For example, at old times people thought that the Earth was flat. It was concluded from
observations and studdying. However, the next generations, using the experience of their
ancestors, proved that the Earth was round.
Personally, I think that books are very important because they are able to give people the
basic and fundamental knowledge. Books store history, the important events and
discoveries. Without them it is difficult and sometimes impossible to move forward, make
new discoveries and inventions.
To summarize, I think a person should take basic knowledge from books because it will
help him to make his own inventions, conclusions and discoveries. Only using both books
and one’s experience one can move forward.

14. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People should read only
those books that are about real events, real people, and established facts.
Use specific reasons and details to support your opinion.
Some people think that fiction books have no use at all. They claim that people should
read about real events that took place, real people, and established facts. I have to totally
disagree with this statement. From my everyday experience and observation I can stand
that fiction, miracles and fairy tails are required in our life. For several reasons, which I will
mention below, I believe that fiction books play an essential role in our life.
First of all, it is kind of difficult to imagine a six year old child reading about politics or
history with the real facts that are not always pleasant. I think that children need miracles
and Santa Claus because the real world is too complicated for them. They are too
innocent and inexperienced to know the real facts and understand what a real life is
about. In addition, I am sure that making a child read only non-fiction books can result in
shock.
Second of all, following this statement about refusing from reading books about fiction
events we also should refuse from festivals, parades, and celebration such holidays as
Halloween because most of the characters there are fictional. Moreover, comic books will
disappear as well as animated films and fiction movies. The disadvantage of non-fiction
lies in the facts that nothing happens to excite the mind and spirit. From the other side,
fiction provides a great slope for a mind to think creatively.
In conclusion, I think that people need miracles. We can not be satisfied with only naked
