Today, I want to describe my friend who I think is a bookworm. His name is Du, and he's one of my best friends. We were in the same class in secondary school, but now we're in different schools. However, we still have a great relationship. He's read a lot of books, ranging from novels to newspapers. He even loves reading comics like 'Conan the Barbarian' because his imagination is enhanced while reading those books. In addition, he loves to read novels like 'Les Misérables.' He explained to me that by reading novels, he can improve his vocabulary, which also enhances his academic performance. He also keeps up with the news by reading newspapers every day. I think he's very happy while reading books because, like I said before, it helps him get good marks. In school, he often used some difficult words in his tests that he picked up from those books. My teachers always encouraged him to do that. Also, it broadens his horizons by giving him a lot of knowledge about social issues, politics, and other topics.
