　　Reading is a process of procuring knowledge andthe ways of reading vary for students betweenreading on their own and reading as told by theirteachers. As for me, it will be more beneficial toread books in line with students’ wishes.

　　For one thing, students should read what they are curious about and can find interests in, which can find wide application among college students in particular. In order to hone one’stalents and crafts with specific purpose, college students will find the more practical books toread to strengthen their competence for their future competing with other rivals in the jobmarket. Take Steve Jobs as an example. After attending the college just for a few months, hecouldn’t figure out how the college life would help him in the future except for imposing hisworking family enormous financial pressure.Then, he decided to drop out so he could stoptaking the required classes and reading the assigned reading materials that did not interest himand began dropping in on the ones that looked interesting. Finally, the last several months forhis college life turned out to be priceless later on since he took a calligraphy class and read therelative books, the knowledge of which had been applied to produce the first computer withbeautiful typography. Evidently, part of Steve Job’s accomplishments can prove how essentialfor students to read by following their own curiosity and intuition.

　　For another thing, students can be more absorbed in the books that they like. To be morespecific, compared with the assigned papers or articles, students’ incentive can be morestimulated by reading what they like. For instance, the prevailing notion of children’seducation is that they should develop their own interests by reading what can intrigue theirinquisitiveness or stimulate their imagination. Therefore, there is a voice coming out today thatmore freedom needs to be given to primary school students so that they can read some moreinteresting books like the science-fiction novels or tales and etc. Besides, too much focus oncultivating students’ academic abilities and the ignorance of developing their overallqualities will lead to the development of elites with less morality. Obviously, the benefits ofreading books by students themselves and the detriment of just reading as assigned byteachers can tell us how important to give students’ rights to choose what they read.

　　Admittedly, reading what teachers assigned can be of also importance. In other words, teachers will be familiar with which area students should be improved to achieve betteracademic performance. For instance, teachers will require students to engage in extensivereading to increase students’ reading ability. However, it can not be the reason to regardreading as students wish as inferior because students can better improve their reading abilityby being absorbed in what they like most.

　　To conclude, students should enjoy the rights to decide what they read.
