Oh, let me think about that question. In my personal opinion, I think that old people spend more time for reading than a young people. Because I think the first of all, it’s because they have a lot of time for that activity. And I think young people also tend to spend decent amount of time for reading. But I think there is the difference in genres of the books. For example, old people I think tend to read some sort of literature books, dramatic books, or maybe the history books. But young people in my personal opinion, I think they tend to read more about psychology, more about self-discipline, etc. But if I would say about my surroundings, I think that young people in my surroundings in my country tend to read books more than the old one. Because I think the old people spend especially reading news. But if it refers to young people they spend a lot of time to reading psychology as I mentioned before. And I think it’s 50 actually. But above my grandparents and my own parents, I want to say that they just read a book once in the blue moon. But if I want to say about my peers, young people, I want to say that they spent a decent amount of time for reading. And I think reading books is actually a very interesting activity whatever age you are.

Oh, let me think about that question. In my personal opinion, I think that old people spend more time reading than young people. First of all, it's because they have a lot of time for that activity. Young people also tend to spend a decent amount of time reading, but I think there is a difference in the genres of the books. For example, old people tend to read literature, dramatic books, or maybe history books. Young people, in my personal opinion, tend to read more about psychology, self-discipline, and so on. However, in my surroundings, I think that young people in my country tend to read more books than older people. I believe older people especially read the news. In contrast, young people spend a lot of time reading psychology, as I mentioned before. I think it's about 50/50 actually. Regarding my grandparents and my parents, I would say they read a book once in a blue moon. But when I talk about my peers, young people, I would say they spend a decent amount of time reading. I think reading books is actually a very interesting activity, regardless of your age.
