Hello, this is Jack from tofluency.com and in this video
we're going to talk about books, and more specifically
what books are going to help you reach a high level
of English, so keep watching!
As an English learner, there are so many books that you can buy and read
to help you with your English. Now firstly,
there are the type of books that are specifically made for
English learners. This is, for example
grammar books, course books, text books and
books have been adapted for your specific level
and then, obviously, they're also books that haven't been made,
specifically, for English learners; books on a whole range of topics:
fiction and also non-fiction. Now,
I receive a lot of questions from English learners, and one of the main
questions I receive:
is: What books should I buy to help me
on my journey to English fluency? Now, I can not
recommend a specific book in this general sense
because a book that's going to be good for you
and that's going to help you on your journey might not be suitable for
someone else
This is because we all have different interests and also
we have different levels of English. The key
is finding a book that you can understand; a book that isn't too
difficult for you and your level right now
and also finding a book that is going to
really interest you; a book that you just can't
put down. Now, as you progress with your English
and if you are an immediate learner now, I recommend that you find more
native materials
Find books at have not been written specifically for English learners
Find books that are native; books that have just been written
in different genres. And remember: Choose a book
that is going to interest; find books
on topics that you find interesting. This might be
novels, non-fiction like history, sports or politics
or maybe magazines and blogs. Additionally,
if you can find the audio for the book as well
then I really recommend that you do this. If you find books that come along with
the audio
it means you can listen and read at the same time, you can read a book
and then listen
later. Or maybe you just listen to the book
but having the audio is really gonna help you improve your English
One last tip: the mentality
of choosing books is really important, and what I recommend,
like I've said throughout this video, is that you find books that you want to
read
don't read books that you feel you have to read
instead, read the books that you think, "Yes,
I really want to read this book and I know I'm going to enjoy it."
and if you don't enjoy the book
don't feel like you have to read it - put it down
and choose a different book instead. Here is a question for you
I want you to leave your answer below this video: What is your favorite
book
that you have read in English? What is your favorite book
that you have read in English? Leave your answers below..
thanks for watching, and I'll see you next time!
