My Reading History

First of all, I would like to say that I don’t consider myself a consistent reader. I only read when I am available or when I am really attracted to that specific book. For me, dynamic activities are more appealing than static ones. I would rather watch a film which was adapted from a novel than spend time reading a novel. Sometimes, I will tell myself to stick to reading. For long time ago, I set up a goal that I should read for half an hour before sleeping. However, I was fail to do that because of laziness and tiredness.

When it comes to who made me a reader, it’s my mother. I just began learning to speak and read when I entered kindergarten. My mom bought encyclopedia on different fields. For instance, chemistry, transportation, and body structure. She always encouraged me to read and explore more. I was curious about everything on the world when I was little. Consequently, I read a lot.

Recalling to my senior high school life, I started to enjoy the joy of reading. My major was language, so the department provided a variety of courses related to English. One of them was English reading class. The teacher bought us an original novel which was called Lunch Money. In that class, we had totally one hour to read the novel for every week. Then we would write reflections on it. We shared our opinions with others in class. I liked this way of reading because it became a more dynamic activity. Moreover, we would get into groups to display the novel by acting.

Although I have a lovely reading memory in senior high school, I still think reading regularly is tough for me. Hence, I must can have the motivation to read in this reading class. I usually read for preparing for exams, reaching teachers’ requirements, or certain purposes. To set up a goal and to reach it on my own is hard. However, if someone can supervise you, it would become easier.
