Reading

Read Every Day

Read Every Day

Read as much as you can every single day. Carry reading material with you. That way you can pull out when you are waiting for a bus, at a shop line up, or in a bank line up. Read on the bus, or the MTR. You can read a lot of material in those "spare moments."

Don't limit yourself to "academic reading" Read all types of material, fiction (stories or novels) as well as non-fiction. Read newspapers, books and magazines -- you actually remember more from reading printed material than reading something on the Internet. Read for different reasons – studying or interests. Most of all, read for pleasure. You will find that the more you read, the more you will enjoy reading.
