At first, Robert’s parents were very happy. Robert read the newspaper, played outside, played computer games, and played cards with his mother. But after a while, he got bored.

Some students think it difficult to learn English well. That’s because they don’t find the right way. I think reading is very important for students. The more you read, the better you’ll understand. Reading is helpful to listening, speaking and writing.
If you often read English aloud, you’ll improve your listening. On the other hand, listening a lot can help you to read better. Reading English everywhere when you are free, if you wish. You can get a lot of knowledge when you read. Sometimes you need to express your ideas, you can either speak or write. That means you are using what you learned from reading. The same as Chinese, the more you read, the better you can write. If you want to remember something, you should read again and again. So from now on, you’d better do more reading. It’s a good way to learn English well.
