When I was in Korea, I enjoyed reading books that are translated into Korean, so I usually read one book for leisure within a week, and I find the best-seller book before I buy the book. However, since I came to Singapore last year, my reading habit has changed a lot because I have to read a book in English. There is no Korean book anymore Actually, I'm not good at English especially vocabulary, so sometimes I find difficulty to read an English book. Before I choose the book in bookstore, I always wonder if I can’t read the book with my poor English. Therefore, I finish one book for three weeks or one month recently. I try to read a lot in English, but it is really hard to understand the story of English books, so I become a slow reader when I read the books in English. Nevertheless, the important thing for me is that I like reading a book, and learn valuable lesson from the books. For these reasons, I decide to choose the easy books that are suitable for me, and try to read in English as much as I can.
I like reading fiction especially fantasy and mystery books such as Harry Potter, Da Vinci Code, Sherlock Holmes and twilight. Sometimes, I lost track of time when I read these books because it is very interesting. My favorite author is J.K Rowling who wrote Harry Potter. I think she is one of the most famous writers who has a remarkable imagination that I have ever seen. I think book is more interesting than movie because the movie has time limit, so sometimes the movie don’t have important scenes.
At the end of the semester, I hope that I read a lot of books or articles, and I become interested in reading a book in English. Moreover, I want to improve my writing skills through the reading journal.
