Read what you "like", not what you are told !

Most of the time students generally go to English courses and then teachers give them homework or books which they are not very interested in. (generally) 

 But it shouldn't be forgotten that every person has different interests and point of views. So that English teachers shouldn't behave and approach with same way of teaching method towards every students.

If you are reading a book or homework passage which your teacher give you and you don't like it, after a while you will start to feel bored and distracted. And probably you will throw it away and start to hate studying English!!

Hey don't be nervous about these kind of studying English! It should not be a torture! It must be fun ;) to realize it you must read what you like and love! not what you are told or given. Please do not forget that according to researchs English students who read sources which they are interested in improve their English faster than the others.


My Experience About Reading

For about 10 years ago and while i was starting to learn English as a new learning English student, i realized that i liked and loved reading about levelled penguin books. Of course i was reading books whcih are level 1 and 2, starter and pre-intermediate levels. As i read the books i realized that when i read a book which i was not interested in, i was getting bored so quickly. It was hurting my English studies.


On the other hand while i was reading things which i was really interested in for example historical events or dedective books(like Sherlock Holmes stories), i was very excited and felt like i started to love this language. Also i was learning new words, English grammar and English language structures even though i didn't realize it.



Yes i explored that the magic in learning English is to like and enjoy with language not just study it ! Don't forget if you like, love and enjoy it, you will learn more quickly and improve faster your English. Trust me !
