I like English reading. As well all now, reading plays an important part in learning English. It’s very necessary to read a lot. In the past, I often borrowed books from the library. At the beginning, I read something easy and interesting. I used to take some notes and copy down some words and sentences. Later, I began to read longer and more difficult stories. By reading, I have improved my English and become more interested in learning English. I feel much more confident than before. In the future, I plan to read some English novels and newspapers for teenagers as often as possible. And I will form a good habit of reading and try to take part in different English activities. I am sure reading will be quite helpful to my further English learning.
