Dear Editor,
I am really angry with my parents recently. Next Sunday is my birthday. My parents promised to buy a cell phone for me as my birthday present this year. But now when I ask about the birthday present they say they have changed their ideas, because they worry about my study if I get a new cell phone since the final exam is coming soon. They say a cell phone may take up too much of my time. I believe I am old enough to control myself, but they don’t believe me. What’s more, they broke their promise!

But I think I should read more books besides the textbooks, the more, the better. It can broaden my mind and improve my language skills.1.Here are some tips for you.
Clear your purpose for reading
2.Most people read for two main reasons, pleasure or knowledge. Clearing about your reading purpose can not only help you choose the books you really need to read, but also remind you why reading the book is important to you, so you will keep reading and complete the book faster.
3.
No matter what you are reading, it is important to enjoy what you read. Your friends may tell you the books they love, but those books might not necessarily be the ones you enjoy.
Give up books that you don’t enjoy
You may have chosen books that you are interested in, and they are right to your purpose. But while you are reading them, there may still be some books that you don’t enjoy reading. Whenever you realize that you aren’t enjoying the book you are reading, give it up. 4.
Set a reading goal
