Some students say they don"t want to read for pleasure. They say they want to use their time to
learn the rules of, the language and new words. They say that pleasure reading is too easy.
Many experts (专家) say pleasure reading is very important for learning English. Dr. Stephen
Kreashen, a famous expert on learning languages, says that pleasure reading helps you learn many
important things about English. Students learn more grammar and more words when they read for
pleasure. They also learn about good writing.
Dr. Krashen tells us that pleasure reading helps each student in a different way. Each student nee
ds to learn somethin
g different. Pleasure reading makes it possible for each student to learn what he or she needs.
Reading for pleasure is not the same as studying. When you read for pleasure, you choose your
own books, and you don"t have to remember everything. There are no tests on your pleasure reading
books.
Pleasure reading will help you:
* learn how English speakers use English
