The pleasure of reading

These five pictures represent a habit that I was used to do from my childhood : READING. I loved reading when I went to bed every night. In fact, I went to the library every week to borrow some books that were read quickly…

On the other hand, people are reading traditional books in pictures 1,2,4,5, I mean, books made with paper. However, an ebook is used by an elderly woman in picture 3.

On the other hand, except in picture 4 where some students are reading the same book, surely guided by a teacher, the others show people reading by pleasure.

To my mind, readers from pictures 1,2,3,5 seem to be happy, focused on the story they have really chosen, living the same adventure the characters are undergoing. Nevertheless, students from picture 4 do not seem so happy because they are following the teacher´s instruction to follow the same rhythmn.

As far as a reader in L1 is concerned, I like reading all kinds of genres, mainly in summer , when I am on holidays. Regarding L2, I also read all types of genres. As an English philologist, I have read the same amount of books in both languages. 

Because of the lack of time , what I usually read every day are the online news, both in Spanish and in English newspapers. Besides, I checked my Facebook and my Instagram account where I followed many accounts related to the teaching of English, to travels … they are quick and easy to read and they drop me a hint of the main news.

Honestly, I prefer reading books made with paper: their touch, their smell, their easiness to read back and forward…. Although I am thinking about purchasing an ebook in order to have more free space at home :)
