Reading is important to learn about the world around us. However, does everybody read because they really want? Let's check some examples.
People here is sat comfortably while enjoying reading. So, they may be happy to have time for themselves.
Here, we can interpret both kinds of reading: imposed (specific reading to learn) or chosen (char interests between different generations). Therefore, the girl could feel happy or bored.
In my opinion, mom here is doing what she really wants, as she is able to choose among so many different online books but she has chosen that specifically.
Regarding the children reading at school, we could consider that they are not happy as maybe, many of them are not interested in the issues or topics of the book.
Finally, we find the man on the chair, who seems happy to be reading the newspaper. The way he is sitting and the place, leads as to think that it is something chosen by him.
Finally, I would like to relate the man on the chair to myself. I always read textbooks and I prefer to read alone and at night or at the beach. I like to sit on many different positions when I read and I sometimes use posits to write down information that I appreciate.
Regarding the topics, I have always been interested in crime and science fiction novels. I always choose these topics in my L1 and my L2, as I learn expressions which I find useful. However, depending on the purpose of my reading or my mood, I will choose one text or another. For instance, when I feel sad, I try to re-read a book that has filled my soul.
In conclusion, reading should be a task that you enjoy and not something that you must do.
