Reading

Helen likes writing letters. She says she’s never bored with it. It’s interesting for her to hear news from her pen pals.

Here is one of her letters.

1. What hobby does she write about?

Before reading.

Pay attention how to write letters.

Write the address in the top right – hand corner of the first page. First comes the number of the house, then the name of the street and the name of the town and the state. Write the date under the address.

         Look at the greeting at the beginning of the letter. It’s "Dear Maria”. And the ending of the letter is "Remember me to your parents

Love, Helen ”.

                                                      25 Station Road

Los Angeles, California, 90023

                                                  June 23, 2008

                   Dear Maria,

         I’m sorry I haven’t written so long. I was very busy last month but now school is over and I can write a letter to you. Things are going well for me. I’m learning a lot in my French class and I feel better about speaking French now. Last night I think I even spoke French when I was sleeping! But I still have some problems, you know.

         In your last letter you asked me to write a few words about my hobbies. Well, I’m fond of reading. It’s very exciting. I’ve got a very good collection of books at home and I’m really proud of it. I can’t say my collection is thematic. I’ve got different books: fiction and historical novels. I’ve got many books about animals and birds. I also have books which can tell you about different countries and lands. I think many people can say that their hobby is reading and I am sure it is easy to explain why. We learn when we read books.

         Whatever you do, wherever you go, you’ll always need a true friend and a good teacher. This friend and the teacher for you is the book. I’ve already read many books. Some of them are very interesting indeed; some are boring. Some of them are easy to read, and some are difficult to understand. But I usually read all of them up to the end. As I have already said my collection of books at home is good, but I often go to the library and take books to read there. My favorite books are about animals.

         Now I really think I’m finishing. Sorry for such a long letter!

Remember me to your parents

  Love, Helen

2. Do you agree or disagree with each statement. Prove your point of view using the text.

Helen is learning English.

She has got detective stories in her library at home.

Her favorite books are historical novels.

Helen doesn’t go to the library.

She has written a long letter to Maria.

3. Helen has her own opinion about books.

Does Helen’s opinion justify yours? Finish the following sentences.

When we read books we…

Books are your… and…

Some of the books are… but some of them are…

Some of the books are…, some are…

4. Here are two poems: the first poem is by Adelaide Love and the second one is by J. Jamroz.

What are these poems about?

Could Helen write the same about her hobbies?

A book, I think, is very like                     Everybody has a hobby

A little golden door,                                 And we’ve got a common one.

That takes me into places                        English does attract us

Where I’ve never been before.                 More than stamps and actors.

It leads me into fairyland                         And, it is great fun!

Or countries strange and far.                   Learning English, learning English,

And, best of all, the golden door             That’s the hobby that we share.

Always stands ajar.                                  We are fond of learning English

Which is spoken everywhere.

      (by Adelaide Love)                                                        ( by J. Jamroz.)

         I’m fond of collecting stamps. It’s relaxing. I have about a hundred stamps from different countries. I have got a favorite stamp. This is a stamp of Elvis Presley. He was a famous rock-n-roll singer. We call him "The King” of rock-n-roll! I keep my stamps on the walls of my room. My father travels a lot and sometimes he brings stamps to me. This summer he is going to China.

         I also like listening to music. I don’t really have a favorite group or a singer. If the music is good, I don’t care if it’s rock, pop or heavy metal. I’m not interested in anyone special.
