The influence of books on our life

Books are extremely important for our life, not only because they provide information and improve skills, but also because they are an useful way of making contact with other cultures, and different points of view.

It can be debated, but I would say that books have been the "tool" through which civilization has reached this actual stage. Nowadays, we can see to and fro the influence of books on daily basis: our way of see the world was shaped by books and their ideas within them. In the same way, it´s impossible to argue that books are not helpful or a lost of time, because in fact they are - regardless of the genre of the book.

Sometimes, we watch on the TV a scientist talking about that nowadays, despite having a complete and handy access to books, we don´t read. Unfortunately, this phenom has been increasing since ten 10 ago without any interruption, but readers have not disappeared yet. Actually, I would say that we are experiencing a new increment in the percentage of people who are starting to read. Whether this is true or not, books will influence more and more on our decisions, and worldview, through their content. I hope that in this new year more people will give them an opportunity.

Thanks for reading!

The influence of books on our life

"Our life" in this specific context sounds fine, but see the comment for the next sentence.

Books are extremely important for our lifeves, not only because they provide information and allow us to improve our skills, but also because they are an useful way of making contact with other cultures, and different points of view.

"Improve skills" sounds like it's missing something, so this phrasing is better.

In English, we generally use the plural form for what is possessed, unless it is shared in common. So, for example: "The women wore their hats."

"Useful" begins with a consonant sound, so "a" is used instead of "an."

It can be debated, but I would say that books have been the "tool" through which civilization has reached this actualpresent stage.

"Actual" is a false friend: in English it means "real," rather than "present."

Nowadays, we can see to and fro the influence of books on daily basis everywhere: our way of seeing the world was shaped by books and their ideas within them.

"To and fro" is used for verbs indicating movement.

In the sameis way, it´'s impossible to argue that books are not helpful, because in fact they are.

"In the same way" suggests that you're transitioning to a relatively different argument, but this sounds more like an extension of the previous one.

Sometimes, we watch on the TV a scientist talking abouton TV say that nowadays, despite having a complete and handeasy access to books, we don´'t read.

"Talk about" introduces a concept or idea in general; to express a complete idea, like something that could stand as a sentence by itself, "say" should be used.

Unfortunately, this phenomenon has been increasing since ten 10 ago in a rowfor the last ten years, without any interruption, but readers have not disappeared yet.

"Ten years in a row" already implies "since." You could also write "increasing since ten years ago" or "increasing for ten years in a row."

Actually, I would say that we are experiencing a new incrementase in the percentage of people who are starting to read.

"Actually" in the sense of "really" isn't unthinkable here, but I imagine you might have meant "presently" or "currently," like I mentioned before with "actual."

"Increment" simply refers to a step, not an increase.

"People who are starting to read" is grammatical, but sounds odd in context: if everyone is already reading, then no one is starting to read. "People who read" would make more sense.

Whether this is true or not, books will influence more and more in our decisions, and worldview, more and more through their content.

I hope, that in this new year more people will give them an opportunity chance.

"Give a chance" is the correct idiom here. "Opportunity" generally has an action associated with it and the other object of "give," whether explicit or not: "She gave me another opportunity [to prove myself]."
