Hope to recieve commends from you.
There was a legend that St Augustine was the first individual who read silently rather than aloud, semi-aloud. Reading as it was in St Augustine's day. There was a time when reading is a menial job of scribes and priests, not mark of civilization it became in Europe during the Renassance when it was seen as one of the civilized individual.

Literacy influences the economic of countries today. While the Western countries have been seen decline of this area, other less developed countries have advanced, in some case, overtaken the western countries. European countries have satisfied with their laurels in the past for too long, so they need to look for the suitable solutions.

Reading is an economic force. It is the bedrock of economic advancement, particularly in the present technological age. Studies have illustrates that the benifit to the economic by increasing the literacy and numeracy skills of primary school children generally is in billions of pounds in UK.

Part of the problem with reading is that it is not appreciated in most developed societies. This attitude is that has condemned large of population in Western countries to illiteracy. The attitude to reading amongst young also have a big influence. Students at school, college usually give a name for students who read many books called bookworms. The solitude of reading seems not appealing as sitting in front of computer screens or a Walkman. Peer pressure among young people is so powerful. It can kill any attempts to change attitudes to habits like reading.

In conclusion, I think if all of us are become bookworms, why not?

Interesting introduction, a good 'hook.' But what is the central message you are trying to convey, i.e. your thesis statement?

Reading is an economic force. It is the bedrock of economic advancement, particularly in the present technological age. Studies have illustrates that the benifit to the economic by increasing the literacy and numeracy skills of primary school children generally is in billions of pounds in UK. Elaborate. Also, 'studies have shown' sentences are a major turnoff. Refer to a real source, make the claim your own, or do something else. Right now, it's as if you copied this statement off a textbook.

You can expound on any of them, and flesh this paragraph out into a proper one. Start revising your entire essay from here

In conclusion, I think if all of us are become bookworms, why not? Why the sudden jump to a personal musing? I see what you're getting at, but do elaborate more on how the bookworm label should actually be worn with pride, and the potential of it instigating a change in society-wide attitudes towards reading.

Is there a writing prompt for this essay? Is this supposed to be a history essay? Do include more information, otherwise we won't be able to help you. Otherwise, all I can say judging from this piece is that it's rather disjointed and short in length. Paragraphs lack elaboration and do not flow nicely from one another. Needs much more work.

There was a legend called St Augustine and he was the first individual who read less aloud, as it was the practice of reading during his time, but semi-aloud.

There was a time when reading is a menial job of scribes and priests, not mark of civilization it became in Europe during the Renassance when it was seen as one of the civilized individual.

.... I cannot grasp your idea here :(

.... You need to be concerned about the clarity of your sentences.
