Paragraph 1
On the subject of reading, 1. How many ways of
Francis Bacon, who lived at about reading are there?
the same time as Shakespeare, wrote
these words, "Some books are to be  There are three.
tasted, others to be swallowed, and
some few to be chewed and
digested." This good advice shows
how it is possible to read different
types of books in different ways. For
example, you might pick up a travel
book and read a few pages before
going to sleep. It is enough to dip
into it and read bits here and there.

In a word, this is "tasting" .


Paragraph 2
Some stories are for "

be on holiday, or on a long train
enjoy it.
journey. If it is a good book, you
might say, "It's so good i can't
put it down ". But not all stories
belong to this class. Reviewers
sometimes describe books as
"hard-to-put-down", or "hardto-pick-up-again".


Paragraph 3
Other books are for reading
slowly and carefully. If it is a
book on a subject that you
are interested in, you will
want to "chew and digest it".
That does not mean reading

it too slowly. When you pick
up a book for the first time,
check that it is not too
difficult. Do not start a book
unless you can see from the
first few pages that it is one
you can easily read and
understand.

3. What should you do
before starting to read a
book
carefully
and
slowly ?
 Read a few pages to see
if it’s the one you can
read and understand it
easily.


Paragraph 4
Some people think that as
more and more people have television
in their homes, fewer people will buy
books to read. Why read when
television can bring you all the
information and stories with colour,
picture and action? But, in fact,
television has not killed reading.

Today, more books of every kind are
sold than ever before. Books are still
a cheap way to get information and
entertainment, and you can keep a
book forever and read it many times.
Books in the home are wonderful
source of knowledge and pleasure.

4. What are the advantages
of television over books?

Television can bring you

stories with colour,
Pictures and action.

5. What are the advantages
of books over television?



Books are still a cheap
way to get information
and entertainment.
(And you can keep a
book forever and read
it at many times).
