Why books are important for us?
A wise man once said, “Learning without books means nothing.” In my opinion, this statement is true. Why do I say
that? This is for several reasons.
Firstly, books are crucial in developing the mind and help foster critical thinking. For example, after reading a book,
even if you don’t agree with some of the points in the book, you might have ideas on how to improve them.
Secondly, books not only contain stories, but also record facts and review histories. You can also learn about a
certain period in history by discovering the popular books of that era. For example
you can learn about the French Revolutionary era by reading Alexander Dumas’ A Tale of Two Cities.
Lastly, books do not only educate, but also entertain. There are books containing mystery, drama, comedy,
adventures, and so on. There are books about virtually everything. The possibilities are endless.
Based on the reasons above, it is obvious that reading books is important for us. It is no wonder that books are said
to be our “window to the world”.

Indonesia has embarked on the task of counting its islands in order to better protect its territory and marine
resources. It hopes to locate and name an additional 1,700 islands in time for the UN Conference on the
Standardization of Geographical Names in August. Indonesia wants to claim sovereignty and fishing rights in the
waters surrounding the islands, many of which its neighbors also claim.
The Indonesian government says illegal fishing in its waters is costing billions of dollars in lost revenue each year.
A fisheries spokeswoman told the BBC: "Sixty per cent of islands in Indonesia don't have a name or officially have
legal status, so they can easily be taken or claimed by another country."
Indonesia is the world's largest archipelago. At the last UN conference on geographical names in 2012, Indonesia
registered 13,466 islands. A law in 1996 estimated that the number of islands was 17,508. The UN Convention on
the Law of the Sea defines an island as, "a naturally formed area of land, surrounded by water, which is still exposed
at high tide".
A spokesman from Indonesia's Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries explained the scale of the task the counting
team had. He said: "We have to visit every one of these islands, and then we note the coordinates, the name, the
meaning of the name, the history of the land and describe the landscape and its geographical history…all that in
great detail."
