__1. What would you describe yourself as a reader?__
==== I usually only read in the holidays when i really have nothing to do, mostly i read novels when I feel like it but if I don't have the patience or can’t be bothered to read a whole novel then I just read manga, and that mainly happens at school times. And favourite book? To be honest, I don’t have one, well, maybe “The dreaming” by Queenie Chan, and once again, it’s manga. :D ==== ==== I know some of you out there might be thinking, why would I read in holidays so much basically, like, everyday when I can go out and play under the beautiful sunshine? Well, my parents are quite strict, and I’m not allow out much therefore I either just stay home and play on the computer or entertain myself w ==== ==== ith a thing called a book. That’s what I basically ‘HATE’ about holidays, I mean, I would seriously LOVE IT if I was more like other kids going to the beach and out with my friends, but who knows? Maybe holidays this time might be different…But if not, I can just imagine myself sitting on a desk an ====

d with my elbow on the table reading, and reading, and reading, and READING. ><

__2. What happens in your head as you read?__
==== Ever feel like that you’re not concentrating on the book much because you’re thinking what’s going to happen next or when something is puzzling you in the book? Well sometimes, I have an inner voice going on in my head sometimes discussing with myself what’s going to happen next or when I’m thinking about something else COMPLETELY different. And what do I do when that happens? Well, WHEN I do realise, I just stop reading and just continue thinking whatever I was th ====

==== inking of so I won’t be just watching through the words go past and not paying attention on what’s actually going on in the book. When that happens I think it’s because I’ve been reading too long or getting distracted by voices/noises near me, because I’m a person who gets distracted really easily and likes to work in peace quiet, or maybe with just some calm music in the background that’s why I like to choose a quiet place to read when I want to read, sometimes in my bedroom on my bed or I just go to the library. ==== ==== But yeah, inner voice conversations happens to me a lot because I’m a type of person who thinks a lot, and oh, trust me, sometimes before the nights I go to bed, it takes me about 30 minutes to actually fall asleep from thinking too much.. ==” ====

When reading a book, you don’t always understand everything at every situation in the book, and sometimes I have wa =====

ys to get back on track for my understandings. One of the most common things I do is to go back a few paragraphs or maybe sometimes even pages and re-read it. Another thing that commonly happens is when you read you haven’t a lot of words that you don’t understand. To be honest, I never really bother looking it up in the dictionary, but I do when the word appears commonly or when the word collects a whole new meaning to one sentence. =====

 Okay, so let’s say you read, read and read. You understand everything, but you sometimes just can’t be bothered reading anymore and you basically start thinking about other things, but just looking at the words in the book but not paying attention to what’s going on. What do I do when that happens? I either go off and have a break or just finish thinking whatever I was thinking and continue reading. I have to admit, it really annoys me when it happens.. ==’ =====

====Most of the strategies from number 3 mostly works for me, sometimes if you want to re-trace meaning which can help you with reading is use sticky notes. With sticky notes as you read along you write down questions on things that you want to find out later on in the story or something that is puzzling you. When you find the answer, you write it down. When finishing the book what i do is that i re-read all the sticky notes again to remind me what i just read and make me understand more of it. ====

====Through the past few years since I've more interested in reading I've realised that the benefits of reading is that it expands more of our vocabulary as we go through words and words and as we search them up in the dictionary. Some people don't tend to read because they don't find what's interesting in a book, or either they can't be bothered. Maybe the solution to those problems are to use the strategies above. If you're one of those people, try reading, and try the strategies above while reading. (:====
