Passage 8
Reading English books is a good way to improve English. Then how do you choose the book that's right for you? Here are some tips that could help!
Interest is the best teacher! The first thing is to find something you're interested in. You will be more likely to enjoy it,and it might help you when you meet words that you're not familiar with. For example,a fan of football can read books about football. There may be many words that are shared by both your first language and English.
If you've found a book but you're not sure if it's right for you,experts suggest doing the five-finger test. Begin reading the book, and every time you meet a word you don't understand,raise a finger. If you raise four or five fingers on one page,perhaps the book is too challenging. But if you only raise fewer than two fingers,or don't raise any at all,maybe the book is too easy! This test is usually used to help parents choose good books for their children to read,but it can help language learners too!
Besides,experts also suggest choosing something that you
know well. It could be a novel you've already read in your first language. You can also choose a book or a film that you've already seen. It's easy for you to follow them because you know the story and the characters well. And,you will learn some new expressions before you even know it.
