Reading books can be a great way to pick up new vocabulary, see grammar in action and develop your understanding of a language.
For beginners, I would recommend starting with something short and simple. Avoid the classics, for they often use very old English words and can involve complex themes. Children's books are a great place to start. Dr Seuss writes his books in thyme and they are all very funny. Starting with something like this means you are more likely to finish the book and want to read more.
The book isn't too long and if you've seen the film it may be easier to follow. If you like reading about historical events, Anne Holm's I am David is a good read.
If you're not quite ready to read a full book, why not try Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes? Or, try a very short book like one from Roger Hargeaves's Mr. Men and Little Miss series. Although they are intended for young children, they are a good way to pick up some more basic vocabulary.
My final piece of advice would be to read something that interests you. Look at the short summary of the book on the back cover and see if it looks like something that you would enjoy. Think about the type that is in your own language and find one of that type in English.
A. Dr Seuss's books are guaranteed to make you laugh.
B. The key to success is choosing the right book for you.
C. Reading can bring you a lot of fun as well as knowledge.
D. For more advanced learners, you could try the Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien.
E. This way, you're more likely to enjoy reading, rather than see it as a headache.
F. How much you can understand a book depends on your vocabulary.
G. This book contains lots of short stories, based on fairy tales, all written in thyme.

Over the past few years, there has been a big increase in the number of people sharing information online. In this article, we will learn about some positive factors regarding people sharing information online.
We often share information with our friends in the office or at home to educate, entertain, or pleasantly surprise them. In this way, we can connect with others. This is also true while sharing information online. If you look at the Facebook of your friends, you will realize that most of their updates are usually famous quotes, entertaining videos, inspirational images, funny jokes, etc. 94% of those who responded to a survey by The New York Times said they put a lot of thought into how the content they are sharing will be beneficial to others.
A lot of people share information online to portray (描述) their true self to the outside world. Some people, especially those who are shy and not comfortable talking about their areas of interest in the presence of others, find it extremely convenient to share that information online with like - minded individuals.
78% of the respondents in the study of The New York Times said they shared information online because it helps them develop better relationships. Today, a lot of people do not have the time to meet each other in person, and the Internet has become a great substitute. A lot of people now "meet" each other online, rather than in conventional places like restaurants and pubs.
Lastly, when we share our thoughts online, we are actively engaging with the vast community of people who are a part of the World Wide Web. Sharing information will make a difference to the viewpoint of others, or add to their understanding about the world.

Many people have fears while traveling abroad. But with so many good places to visit in this world, fears that hold you back are stopping you from wonderful experiences more than they are protecting you. Not being able to communicate can not only be worrying, but sometimes it can even be a bit scary. But don't let a fear of failing to speak the foreign language inhibit you.
First, try to learn a few words ahead of time, like please, thank you, hello, goodbye. This will go a long way in showing the locals you're trying. A phrasebook can help, but remember that you may not understand the reply you get.
Second, write down the hotel you chose, and any places of interest you're planning on visiting. It helps to show a taxi driver or someone you're asking directions from if you have it written down since it's possible that you won't pronounce it correctly.
Third, one of the few words I find to be common is “toilet”. In the US people often ask where to find the bathroom or restroom, but that's not so easily understood for someone whose native language (母语) isn't English. But even in the middle of Southeast Asia, people understand the word toilet.
Lastly, try drawing. Andy and I were in a taxi in Izmir, Turkey trying to get to the castle, but the driver didn't know what we were saying. So Andy quickly drew a castle. The driver laughed and nodded, and then brought us to the castle.
"If you ask anyone in the tourism industry the future of holidays will be after the pandemic, you're just asking them (pull) out a crystal ball (水 晶球)," says Tom Pridmore, vice president of the Tourism Management Institute. "I think tourism will survive and people will be going on holiday, but the nature of those holidays will change (obvious), at least in the short term."
"There (be) huge pent-up (被抑制的) demand," explains Tom Jenkins, CEO of the European Tourism Association. "Most people who booked holidays for 2020 didn't cancel when travel bans came in — they just (postpone). People's desires will not change much as result of this crisis."
Jeremy Sampson, the CEO of the Travel Foundation, says that worries over (safe) are unlikely to go away even if restrictions are lifted. "Social distancing will need to continue in airports, on planes, in accommodation ... all those places crowds of people gather," he warns.
Sampson predicts that demand for private rentals rather than busy (hotel) will grow, self-drive holidays to lesser-known destinations will increase, and short weekend trips around Europe will not (look) down on as slower and longer breaks prove a better use of air miles.
