How to pick a great book to read
The world is full of great books, just waiting to be read. How can you pick one you’ll really like? Here are some tips:
What makes you happy?
_36__ Are you really fond of dinosaurs or dogs or a specific person? Are there a few careers you’re interested in? You can find books about almost anything you like, and you’re more likely to enjoy reading a book if you’re already interested in its subject.
Fact or fiction?
Some books are entirely made up and imagined. Those are called fiction books. Novels and short stories are all examples of fiction. These books can transport you to another world or help you image something beyond your own experience.
Non-fiction books give you the who, what, when and why. __37__ Non-fiction books can bring everything to life from the first trip to the moon to the exploration of the deepest oceans. Try both fiction and non-fiction books to see which you like better.
Find a family favorite.
What was your mother’s favorite book when she was your age/ or your dad’s? __38__ Then you can talk about what they liked about it and share your thoughts, it’s a fun way to get to know your family a little better, and to find a book you’ll enjoy!
Ask an expert.
___39__ Tell a librarian about your interests – rock stars, sports teams, historical events, whatever you like and the names of some books you already enjoy. Your librarian can help you find other books that you’re sure to love.
Launch a book swap(交换).
__40__ It’s always fun to see what your friends are reading. Even if they’re not exactly bookworms, you can all encourage each other to read and share books and authors you like. You also can look for books swaps in your area. It’s a great way to build your personal library for free!
