Writing an essay is extremely useful because it allows the author to learn how to clearly and correctly formulate thoughts, structure information, use basic concepts, highlight cause-effect relationships, illustrate experience with relevant examples, and argue their conclusions.
The books have a special charm; books cause us pleasure: they talk to us, give us good advice, they become living friends for us.
