Writing? Mmmm... Do I have to Read?

One of my students' most common questions is how reading and writing are related if they want to improve their writing skills. The question, even though a simple one, is a really good one since it brings up a matter that is very important to realize from the very beginning we intend to improve if we want to become good writers.

Then, I reply with this question: Do you really think you can write about any matter if you are not knowledgeable enough? Indeed, reading a lot, reading very well, is one of the most important requirements to become good writers.
