Going in to module 2, I can’t confirm my reading skills enhanced to a higher level. However, I do enjoy reading because there are a lot of values I can take out of it. Not to mention, there are certain books that I find interesting and there are some books that leave me with ambiguity. If I can’t beat anything into my head, I’d erase all of the unimportant parts and leave the interesting parts behind, it's kind of like annotating. You can call it an unorthodox method but it works well for me.
If I were to read, it would take about 20-30 minutes because sometimes reading too long can bore you and you’ll start fading away from understanding the subject and I know from experience. I remember one time in college, I read this chapter in a book called “Sophie’s World” and it was about a whole lot of nothing. It took some time until I eventually found some interest with that novel.
Do you want to read a book you might enjoy and learn like me? Well, there are some lucid books you can start off with to grasp information you need to know. Remember; don’t belittle yourself by buying books with small words because you’re not going to develop a wide range vocabulary and your communication skills will have a limitation. If you read a book with big words and you think it’s utterly boring, give it a second chance.
Hello PJ, I enjoyed your blog post and definitely can relate to reading a book that seemed like a whole lot of nothing, but with time became very interesting. Also, I liked the vocabulary that you used. Keep up the good work!
