process of reading the book(final draft)




The Process of reading a book
           Books are very important to us, as we will absorb a lot of knowledge from the book and the process of reading the book. Remembering the plot and understanding it are the necessary but difficult parts while reading although they sound easy. The stories in the books are related to abundant things around us, about our schools, families, friends, and many strange things happen or not happen on us. Different stories give us different inspirations and teach us various classes; those stories are filed in one and one books.
            Others’ experiences can help us learn others and ourselves better, so we need to remember some of the experiences to understand life more. If we just forget what happened, what we learn and what our impressions in those books, it just a waste of time. First of all, title attracts reader’s attention the most; it just likes the face of the book. We always need to see the title of the book first because most titles of books bring us the general information of the book; such as “the crucible”, it is a box-like tool melting metals and then getting gold, and we all know it is impossible. The same to a society, it means people tried to make a better society but it is always impossible. This book must talk about a story of a group of people strive to make a good society but finally failed. Secondly, we need to see the introduction in the front of the book, but we don’t need to watch carefully. We just get some basic information about the book, the background of the setting. It can help us know what the symbols mean, what characters really care about and the social conflicts. Then, we started to read the book. Basically, we all have the ability to understand and read. What we usually do is to annotate well since it will help you when you reread and know the story better. We circle the word we don’t know, mark the favorite lines and the questions, and summarize each page. In the end of a chapter, we can write down our expressions and our understanding of this chapter. Always put our own things into the book will make the reading and the book valuable. We need to keep doing that when we read although it seems very inconvenient. I don’t like this in the beginning when I do this way when I read, it can help us pass the quiz, test, and our essays. Of course, if you are reading something for fun, you can do this way, too. However, if you feel it will use a little more time than usual, you can choose the way you usually read.
            Reading books can be an enjoy of life. In the afternoon, stay in the balcony, sit on the cane arranged armchair, and read others’ lives.
