STUDENT PROJECT
It’s all true! Reading takes time... But
when you study a language, reading is sort of
important. The easiest way to learn to
love to read is reading for pleasure. This is different from the reading you do
for study. When you read for pleasure, you choose the book that you read and you
will not be tested about it. All you have to do is enjoy the book!
Guidelines
for Choosing a Pleasure Reading Book
|
- Go to the Easy-Reading section at the library. Choose a book for INTERMEDIATE level, which interests you*.
- Preview a book to help you decide if you want to read it.
- Choose
a book which is not too easy or too difficult.
- Remember, you are reading for pleasure!
- Avoid reading a book if you have already seen the movie, and do not choose a book that you have already read in a different language.
- Plan your reading: read a certain number of pages or for a certain amount of time every day or whenever you have some free time. Divide the book into sections and decide by when each section must be read.
- After you finish a book, fill in a book response sheet.
*You
may read your book in the original but the intention of this assignment is to
become fluent in English reading, and to have an enjoyable reading experience.
A simplified version will help you do that.
