Why people prefer a printed book over an eBook?

In these days is very common that people prefer to buy an eBook instead of a printed book. Some people now feel more comfortable using new technology because new technology can be very practical and can do more than one thing on an  e-reader. However I do not think reading eBooks are the same as reading on a regular printed book.
                My personal opinion is that there is no way I would Change my regular books over an eBook. I like to have my favorite books in my hand. I do not see myself with an eBook because I love to have and to watch all my favorites books together Besides reading I like to collect them. I have an area for my entered books collection in my room.  Every time I enter my room I sat on my bed and watch my bookshelves full of books and feel joy of have read those many books.
                I prefer the regular printed books. When I read I like to feel the smell of an old book. I love feeling the pages as I read. I like to admire my entire collection of books and to be proud and show it when I have guest at my home and to be able to just read it as many times I want to and to share it with my friends.

             Even though people who use eBooks said that they can get them as soon as they come out and not having to wait until arrive to the bookstore. They get them with a price cheaply than a regular book. However eBooks are not too convenient to use. The screen can hurt the eyes, it needs to have internet and give headache and if I want to share my eBooks, I would have to give my e-reader.

                In other words I would never change my books. I like to feel the satisfaction to see all my books I had read to be able to share with my family and friends.  I believe books are history no matter what type of books they all are books and no matter how many eBooks exist I would never change from reading printed books.

Effects of Reading


Have you ask yourselves, what reading does to your mind? Many people are not conscious that reading is a big help for the developing of the brain. Reading helps you to develop your knowledge and make you learn and understand certain information.
Reading does a lot for your brain. It calls into play several different areas of the brain, reading is more demanding on processing images or speech than just watching a movie or listening to books on tape will work out and expand your brain but not at the same level that reading can. 
            Also, reading helps increase your concentration, for example, at school if you are not so good on using new words or pronunciation, by practicing everyday it helps you to increase your knowledge and your grades. Reading is a big help for you. Many people do not like to read because when they read people do not remember first part of the story and give up, but that true is that people should start practicing more and get used to it.
To conclude I believe reading is important for people. Reading is an exercise for your brain. People should start reading more often so they can see they improvement on not only vocabulary, but in knowledge and an increase of concentration.

Fiction and Nonficiton


Have you ever wanted to read but did not know which type of books to choose? Fiction and Nonfiction are two types of categories of books. I am going to describe the difference between a fiction book and a non-fiction book.
            To begin with, a fiction books are an imaginary stories. Books that are made up by the author, they are novels with imaginary facts. They tell stories of things that are never going to exist. For example, The twilight saga tells the stories of a girl that falls in love with a vampire that has a enemy a pack of wolfed. A fiction book is not a real story. They all are fantasy. People like to write fiction because they would like to be real so, when they write it, authors give so many details so that readers imagine it is true.
            Another, type of book is Non-Fiction.  Non-fiction books tell a history based on facts, people and true events. A biography is a kind of a non- fiction book. For example, The Kite Runner, describe, the stories of a boy from Afghanistan that lived in the war and had to move to the United States, and the main character describes everything that he went through.
            However, Fiction and Nonfiction are both stories; usually the characters have same emotions and are writing in the same style. They both have dialogues in the book, and both types of books are interesting.
            In conclusion, fiction and non-fiction books are two good categories to read, but you have to decide which type of books you would like to read. They both are interesting to read. If you choose fiction, you should remember the story is not real and the character does not exist. And if your choice is nonfiction, you can learn about real events that has happen before.

How to Improve Your Vocabulary

Have you ever been on a conversation which was extremely important to you, but could not express yourself or say something that no one could understand? Well that is because you have not been practicing or learning new words. If you want to be able to be a part of something important, you need to be able to express yourself without problems.
First of all, you need to start reading. You can start with a newspaper or magazines every day. They will help you to get used to reading. First, star with a small text and then go for a longer text. In fact, you could start by reading a loud and practicing your pronunciation. Challenge you to read a book every week and you are going to see how you going to learn new words and use it as part of your vocabulary.
Second of all, writing is going to help you to increase your vocabulary. Writing helps others to understand what you want to say. If you do not have the rights words, you will not be able to communicate well. Writing is practicing your vocabulary.
These are my steps of how to increase your vocabulary. To be consistent on something that you really want to do follow these steps. You will see your vocabulary improvement and will increase your used of new and interesting words.

Reading is the best!!!



Have you ever read a book and think you are one of the characters? Reading books can make you forget everything else and just concentrate on what you are reading. Also, reading books is very important for knowledge and it helps you improve your thinking skills.

I love reading because it is very entertaining. When I begin reading I do not want to stop. Reading helps me to just focus on the book. Also when I read I like to believe I’m in the story because it is more interesting to read. Reading a good book is the only thing in which I can relax, concentrate and make me reflect about what happen in the story.

Not to mention, reading books can be very helpful to expand your knowledge. For examples, there are academics books which people read it to learn important facts, there are other books were contains meaningful words to learn and use it in our vocabulary.   Also reading helps to develop your thinking skills, not only but to have cultural literacy, to read more fluently and to understand text more easily. Even reading helps your vocabulary. For me it is very helpful and fun because I enjoy reading and at the same time am learning new words to add in my vocabulary.

As a final point reading is important not only because it help you to develop your mind but also because reading different types of books and  stories can make you learn new words and to increase your vocabulary. For me books are everything. I would not know what to do in my day life without a book.
