Why are books referred to as a man’s best companion? Which is your favourite book and why? Write a paragraph about that book.
Books are represented as a man’s best companion cause they have more patience than human beings. We can visit anywhere in the world and can talk to anybody. Fly to any heights through books tell us about customs or institutions and regions at different places or countries. Books are those companions which will never divert us when we fall prey to bad times. Books are constant source of our entertainment and happiness. I have always enjoyed reading books. The book the wings of fire autobiography of our former president Dr. Abdul Kalam is one of innumerable books of my life. They gives us inspiration and shows how a simple boy arose to become the president of India. No angel of his life has been left out. Very minute details are included which make the work very interesting.
And once my brother said books are the only friends which helps you achieve your dreams and to fly high in the successive way.
