The more you mentally challenge your brain the more new brain cells you create, people say reading is boring and exhorting but it is not like that, it because they are just lazy to read. Those who read always keep their minds young and active and if you don't read your mind becomes lazy to think. Reading is one of the best ways to stimulate your brain. Read classic literature that will not only increase your vocabulary, but your knowledge; History, Biography, and Self-Help books all provide you with new information and are likely to make you a better conversationalist. Reading is a must for a healthy and active mind. Read what you like, what makes you passionate and what fuels your soul. Read anything, just read. Keep books or magazines in your car, hand bag, or backpack to pull out whenever you are going to be in one place for a while. Over and above, reading builds an informed nation because "a nation uninformed is a nation doomed". Reading is an empowerment tool that boosts confidence, self-assertiveness and belief in ones convictions. Aanyone who stops reading is old whether at twenty or eight, when you read your mind stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.

The language that is most loved by young people, they use this language to communicate with their friends. slang makes life easier to every young person because the is no need to use big words when you talking to your friends. There is also a big problem when a person use a slang most of the time, because you might use a slang in a wrong place, like in an interview so you should be careful were you use slang language. Slang is the language of young people, slang can be described as informal, nonstandard words or phrases (lexical innovations) which tend to originate in subcultures within a society. It is a fast moving river and although its bends and flows seem the same. People argue that slang in the form of AIM lingo causes students to under-perform in English tests or exams because they do not always fight the tendency to use AIM abbreviations. Slang in the form of ghetto lingo is also problematic when it comes to tests because, students forget to write in a proper English and they mix English with slang. When people lament the state of the English language, they often criticise new vocabulary, such as the slang, buzzwords and jargon that arise from young people, advertising, and technology. But new vocabulary marks linguistic change only in a relatively superficial way. Significant changes in language happen more slowly.
