Tip
Don't assume that reading is boring or a
waste of time... give it a chance and you might discover that it is actually
quite relaxing and cool.  No (mobile) screen in your face, no constant
interruptions with nonsense messages, just some "me" time...

Did you know that reading is the best way to improve your (English) language skills!  No grammar rules... just pure pleasure and hopefully, a great story that will take you into another world!
