  • Oh, Hi! Let's talk about BOOKS.

  • Okay, maybe some people are like me, enjoying reading.

  • 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.

Oh, Hi! Let's talk about BOOKS.
