Throughout this semester, I encourage you to read as much enjoyable material as possible. Please document your reading on your Reading Record ( Eng220-05 Eng220-08).
List (and link to if possible) what you have read, add brief comments, and post any words or phrases that you learned. I suggest looking up words you don’t know after you’ve finished reading. While this is not a required assignment, it will be considered when calculating grades at the end of the semester. More importantly, I hope this will be a helpful habit for you to develop on your lifelong journey of language learning. Go Bookworms Go!
Assignment: Bring at least 30 minutes of enjoyable reading material for next week's class (ENG220-05: Monday, ENG220-08: Tuesday). This can be a book from the library, or something you printed out (or brought on your mobile device) from the sources below.
You can find hundreds of leveled readers (books for extensive reading) right by the entrance of the BUFS Library.
Please tell me about your English (or other foreign language) reading habits by posting a comment below. (due Sept. 15)

ReplyDeleteWhat kind of reading do you do?
* it's not clear to say. but, it's up to kind of 'the academic reasons' needed in some situations like.. if it's like i'm lacking of the information on one topic such as 'world cultures', i start reading books about that. if it's on the love, i read some psychology books. so.. yeah "information books".
Where do you get most of your reading material?
* almost in library.
What kind of materials (books, magazines, online articles, blogs) and topics (literature, fashion, sports, entertainment, etc.) do you find most interesting and/or useful?
* especially, i'd like to get some important information through online media. that's because..of its own convenience with readability enough to read faster at least than through books(i think so, but not exactly).
and.. as written above, i'm interested in reading some books with a lot of information i could get as fast as i can go. it means.. whatever the book is, if that has a useful information, i'd read that. no matter what :)
What are the biggest obstacles you face to developing an active reading habit (e.g. laziness, cost, finding appropriate level material)
* of course, it's from my laziness. haha :P and when it comes to some difficulties in reading books written in foreign languages, totally it's because of my lacking in voca.
