Joseph’s comments from the Reading in English Group 5 Term 1 2015 group.

Helloooooooo?

Will you continue to read books after we finish this class? Why or why not?

I will be locking this question on the 16th of July.

This is where you should post your third or fourth stories. I want you to send it to me first and I will check it and tell you to make some corrections. Then you can post it here.

Awesome. What kind of magazines do you like to read?

That's good. Which news sites do you use? What do you like to research?

Do you prefer reading books, newspapers, manga, magazines or things on the Internet? Why?

You should post your second short story here. You should also follow the same structure as your first story.

Good answers :) But if you read more, your reading and writing skills will improve too ^^ Are there any books that you like more than the movie?

Oh I see! Are there any books that you like more than the movie?

Kei wrote: "I like to read books more. I have two reasons.
First,I can imagine what characters and what situations. For example characters's looks,situation,atmosphere and so on...
Second,I can read my pace. ..."

Awesome answer Kei :D I feel the same way! It is better and more fun to read at your own pace like you said. Have you read Harry Potter before? Did you like the movie or the book more?

Which one do you like more? I like to read books more because you can use your imagination, and what I see in my head is different to what somebody else sees in theirs.

It is good that you all like to read books :) What is the longest book (how many pages) that you have read?

Kei wrote: "I don't have the movie. Because I don't watch movies much."

You must have a favourite movie!?

How do you choose your books? Do you look only at the cover? Do you read the first page? The last page? The back of the book? Why?

Wow, these are really great stories! I am very impressed by your stories :D
