The holiday’s upon us. After months of study, you have some time to yourself. So, why not read a book? Well, some people will say, ‘Why trouble with books? We have the Internet and 26 media that offer a lot more 27 (colour) programs. Books are history!”
But don’t be fooled. There’s still a lot to be said for reading and reading as widely as possible.
One clear reason is that a well-chosen book is a wonderful collection 28 words and expressions, so long as you have a good dictionary, of course. Believe me, it’s far easier to get new English words and expressions from a book or article 29 it is from the TV or the Internet.
