It helps you both with your studies at the university, college or school and to improve your knowledge in English.
- First: the most important thing is to read what you really want or enjoy with.
Read it loud: it improves your pronuntiation.
Reading also helps you to know about vocabulary. Learning unkown words by reading their context is better than looking up them in the dictionary.
By the way, just one hour ago I was reading a poem, 'ithaca' by Constantine Cavavy. Have you read it? I like it because the theme is Life, Work and Travel, and because it's cleary a learning of how to deal with those people who sidetrack your life.
Hi Carlos,
DeleteI hope you enjoyed this post. Ronnie is always a lot of fun.
Below you can read a few corrections (but this is very good):
- at university (no article)
- read it out loud or in a loud voice
- learn new vocabulary
- looking them up
- it's clearly a way to learn
And I have to confess I've never read that poem or heard of it, but I'm going to and then write a post about it right away.
