Koyeen,

I agree with everything you've said there.

Just a guess, maybe Pucca doesn't take pleasure in reading about the news since they're all bad. I think one should learn how to enjoy reading in the first place in order to learn from it.

I agree on the importance of reading, too.

Even passive reading helps a lot. For instance, it helps develop sort of 'feeling' for collocations, which is very useful when tackling both the "open cloze" and the "selective cloze" exercises in Paper 3 (English in Use). Passing these exams it's not simply a matter of studying and memorizing grammar, verb patterns, prepositions and collocations ... it's first and foremost a matter of 'absorbing' the language. (Just my humble opinion Smile

Well, if I had to choose between the news and a good book, I would choose the book without thinking about it. (Even if I know it will make me cry..)

¿Alguna vez has tenido un sueño tan real que al despertarte no sabías qué creer?

4 out of 5.

I agree Tanit and Sunray that reading is important but I just can't stand them and I agree Pucca that sometimes it is better to read a book. At least I don't feel depresssed. Wink

Hey Tanit, some passages are easy while some are difficult. Why is that?

I think no one is able to answer that question but, this text belongs to CPE, did you notice that? Hehe Smile

(Though in an exam, the one you are taking is often more difficult than the Past Papers you've been practicing with...)

You changed my nickname..and I don't like it! Crying
