Reading for pleasure is the easiest and the most important way to become a better reader in English. Some students say they don't want to read for pleasure because pleasure reading is too easy. They just want to use their time to learn the rules of the language and new words.
However, Dr. Krashen, a famous expert on learning languages, says that pleasure reading helps you learn many important things about English. For example, students learn more grammar and more words when they read for pleasure. Also they learn more about good writing.
Dr. Krashen thinks that pleasure reading helps each student learn something different in a different way. Pleasure reading makes it possible for each student to learn what he or she needs.
Reading for pleasure is not the same as studying. When you read for pleasure, you choose your own books, and you don't have to remember everything. There are no tests on your pleasure reading books. Pleasure reading will help you get knowledge happily and easily.
