- Which place is it?

- What are the reasons for going there to read and write?
Answer –
Places, where people and even I go for reading and writing, are are usually peaceful and calm. Although there are several places where I go to read and write aside from my home but here I would prefer to talk library. This library is situated in the center of the city, just a stone’s through away from my home. The name of the library is Center City Library.
Library’s infrastructure is massive and circular. It has all the rudimentary amenities. It has not only an A.C. hall but also a non-A.C. hall and has annual membership accordingly. In these halls, there are tables and chairs where one can read and do work comfortably. In addition, every sort of book is available such as storybooks, spiritual books, science books, general knowledge books, dictionaries, magazines of the distinct topic, and many more. In the library, there is a special section which is full of modern technology gadgets. Many computers are available with WiFi connection are installed. Various e-books and educational podcasts are preinstalled. Whenever I have to prepare my assignments and project, I go there for surfing the internet and collecting information. Outside the library, there is a huge garden which is full of greenery
The atmosphere of the library is too calm and peaceful so that we can concentrate on study well. I go there mainly at the crack of dawn and seat outside the library in the garden. Owning to the ambiance and fresh air of the garden I get charged and read even more concretely. Many senior citizens also come there for reading newspapers and magazines.
Whenever, especially, my exam is coming I go there due to the availability of huge information and an undisturbed atmosphere. There is a librarian who is very down-to-earth and helpful. Whenever i have to search for any books he assist me. Many of my friends also come there and we do group study.
Hence, this is the place, apart from my home, where i go to read and write.

Answer – Children start reading and writing when they go to preschool which is at the age of 3 to 4. But many parents start to teach their child regarding reading and writing even before that.

5) Is it the sole responsibility of school, to take care of reading and writing ?
