If you go to a bookstore, you would see two kinds of books in the bookstore. One is called paperback. Paperback books are smaller, and it's more portable, so you can bring it with you, especially what you are reading in a car. And the other kind is bigger. They're called hardcover. Hardcover books are bigger. So they're better for collection. And you can put them on the shelf for display. If you are in the bookstore, and you want to choose a good book to read. There is actually one thing you would definitely do. That is to browse the book. Browse means to quickly flip through the pages, so that you can get a rough idea of what the book is all about. After you start reading a book, it's almost not possible for you to finish the whole book in one time. You need a bookmark. A bookmark is a piece of paper that you leave in between the pages. The next time you pick up the book, you can start from where you left it. What if you don't have a bookmark with you. You can actually dog-ear the page. To dog-ear means to flip down the corner of the page, so that you mark the page for the next time you're reading the book. Sometimes you're in the bookstore, and you see different books under the same title. It's called a series. So when you enjoy the first book, you won't be worried about having nothing to read the next time. That's it for today. I'll see you next time. Bye.
