rEaDiNg?????YEESSSSS!

hello there!!!!! Reading... Yes!!!!! One of the most interesting ways to improve your English is reading as much as possible. This semester all levels will read a book to improve understanding and vocabulary. It's something new in school and it will help you a lot, you'll see.

I'm really excited about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Read English texts as often as you can. This could be the news, short stories, or novels, texts from your textbook. Choose an interesting text that is not too difficult for you (otherwise it wouldn’t be fun).

Don’t look up every word which is new to you – even without a dictionary you will understand a lot. Just concentrate on what you do understand and try to find out the rest by intelligent guessing. That works rather well, especially if you are interested in the topic. If you are a football fanatic for example, you probably won’t have problems understanding an English text about football. On the other hand, someone who is better in English than you but not interested in football will have more problems understanding the same text.

Do also watch English news. Even if you don't understand every word in the English text, you will get the message as you already know what the text is about.

Read between the lines!!!!!!

So, if any of you got interested in start reading here's a link from Macmillan:

Take a look at these books, choose one from your level (pay attention to this, the right level is very important otherwise you can get frustrated) and download the ones that are available.

Have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
