newspapers every morning, or only one magazine for which we have developed a preference. And the
trouble starts here. You should neither read only for entertainment nor only for information but you
should also read for intellectual growth, for mental stimulation, for enriching your background of
knowledge, for wisdom, and for broader outlook and mature understanding. What kind of books should
you read to continue your intellectual growth, to gain a background for opinion and for judgment? The
answer is simple one: Read books in fields you have little or no acquaintance with, books that will open
for you new horizons of learning, books that will help you explore new areas of knowledge and
experience, books that will make the world and people more understandable to you. Sadly, more and
more people today are giving up the printed word in favor of being entertained and informed by
watching TV, a popular entertainment ,device present at almost homes. More and more children are
being subjected to TV programming, perhaps as a babysitter. More than two hours of TV time per day
are now a part of children development, generating physiological and mental problems that are of
growing concern among experts.

whatever instructions your teacher has given you. If you are on your own, however, the following
guidelines should help.
Let's assume for the moment that you have chosen a work of fiction. We will start with a
description of the book. The description should include such elements as:
1. The setting: Where does the story take place? Is it a real place or an imaginary one? If the author
does not tell you exactly, where the story is set, what can you tell about it from the way it is
described?
2. The time period: Is the story set in the present day or in an earlier time period? Perhaps it is even
set in the future! Let your reader know.
3. The main characters: Who is the story mostly about? Give a brief description. Often, one
character can be singled out as the main character, but some books will have more than one.
4. The plot: What happens to the main character? Warning! Be careful here. Do not fall into the
boring trap of reporting every single thing that happens in the story. Pick only the most important
events. Here are some hints on how to do that. First, explain the situation of the main character as
the story opens. Next, identify the basic plot element of the story - Is the main character trying to
achieve something or overcome a particular problem? Thirdly, describe a few of the more


VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí
important things that happen to the main character as he/she works toward that goal or solution.
Finally, you might hint at the story's conclusion without completely giving away the ending.
The four points above deal with the report aspect of your work. For the final section of your outline,
give your reader a sense of the impression the book made upon you. Ask yourself what the author was
trying to achieve and whether or not he achieved it with you. What larger idea does the story illustrate?
How does it do that? How did you feel about the author's style of writing, the setting, or the mood of
the novel? You do not have to limit yourself to these areas. Pick something which caught your attention,
and let your reader know your personal response to whatever it was.
36. When you write a book report, you can organize your thoughts by writing the basic elements down
in an outline format.
a. True


c. No information

Fill in each numbered blank with one suitable word or phrase.
Making time to read is something we all know we (41) ______ do, but who schedules book reading
time every day? There are very few. That is why adding book reading to your daily schedule and
sticking to it can improve discipline.
Books are (42) ______. You can take them almost anywhere. As such, you can learn almost
anywhere too.
By reading more books and exposing yourself (43) ______ new and more complete information,
you will also be able to come up with more (44) ______ ideas. When you have read so many books on
the subject, you can combine lessons from all of them into new (45) ______.
Reading gives you something to talk about. Have you ever (46) ______ out of things to talk about
with your best friend, wife or husband? This can be uncomfortable. It (47) ______ even make married


VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí
couples wonder if their marriage is in trouble. (48) ______, if you read a lot of books, you will always
have something to talk about. You can discuss various plots in the novels you read, you can discuss the
things you are learning in the business books you are reading as well. The possibilities of sharing are
endless.
Bocks are inexpensive (49) ______ to help you reduces stress. Many readers relax by reading.
Compared with the person who gets home from work and immediately (50) ______ on the TV news,
you are going from work stress to crime stress. TV as a source of relaxation is too full of loud
commercials and fast moving violent images. If relaxation is something you want, turn off the TV or
computer and pick up a book.
