V. Reading for details.

Reading books is a thing of the past?

First of all, I have to say that I totally disagree with the statement of some people, who may think that reading books is boring and unnecessary in the modern world. In my opinion, there are good reasons to keep reading.

Firstly, reading books keeps our intellect “alive”. We think about the thing we read and we form our own opinions about certain things. It also a very good way to expand our vocabulary.

Reading books is also good way to spend your free time. If you read something that you are really interested in, time will pass very quickly.

On the hand, many people believe that it is much easier to get information from the Internet and television. You only have to turn on your PC or  and you will get every information you need very fast. Books are also very expensive and many people can not afford buying them.

Taking everything into account, I still think that reading books is not a waste of time although many people try to avoid every kind of reading. I strongly believe that they do not know   how exciting and wonderful reading books can be.

a) Find the opposite meaning

agree ≠ funny ≠ necessary ≠ ancient ≠ dead ≠ bad ≠ busy ≠ more difficult ≠

turn off ≠ slowly ≠ cheap ≠ selling ≠ nothing ≠ few ≠ weakly ≠ dull ≠ unattractive ≠

b) work in groups. Use your critical thinking and discuss the following items.

Introduction: Does the introductory paragraph attracts the reader’s attention in a proper way? What technique is used?

Body: Is the method of ordering / organisation appropriate for the topic?

Conclusion: Does the concluding paragraph have both concluding sentence(s) and a final comment?

Transitions: Are transitional words and phrases between body paragraphs used correctly and effectively? (coherence [kəʊˈhɪərəns] – согласованность)

Compare a paragraph and an essay structures.

PARAGRAPH STRUCTURE		ESSAY STRUCTURE
topic sentence		introduction
body (supporting sentences)		body (paragraphs)
concluding sentence		conclusion

When you tell about any book you have to tell about its author.
