Reading: books, newspapers, magazines

Reading is an important skill. Reading entertains, teaches and broadens our horizon. We mostly read
printed words on paper, such as books, magazines, newspapers, or leaflets. We can also read on
electronic devices, for example computers, phones, televisions, e-readers.

Books are divided mainly into two categories: non-fiction and fiction.

Non-fiction books are often about history, biography, travel, science or cooking among many other
subjects. Books containing short stories, novels, dramas or poetry are called literary fiction. Some
people like travelogues, detective stories, crime novels, thrillers, graphic novels; others prefer the
romance genre, historical or science fiction. You can buy the book, borrow from a friend or take it
out from the library. If a book is a real page-turner, it's easier to read it from cover to cover.

My favourite book is _______________. It was written by ____________ in ____. This book is


about___________________ . I like it because the plot and the characters are interesting and
exciting and the message of the book is important for me. I can also identify with the protagonist.

Some people prefer reading an e-book on an e-reader rather than reading a traditional book. It's
easier to purchase an e-book and to search for content in an e-book and you can also carry around a
number of books on your e-reader – but you won't find the distinct book smell in an e-book.

A newspaper is a publication printed on paper and issued regularly, most often daily. Newspapers
give information and opinions about current events and news. The most well-known Hungarian
newspapers are Magyar Nemzet, Magyar Hírlap, Nemzeti Sport, Blikk, Bors and in Szabolcs Szatmár-
Bereg county people read Kelet-Magyarország. The most popular British newspapers are the Daily
Mail, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian and The Sun.

Magazines are generally issued weekly or monthly. Some newspapers are tabloids, and are usually
the popular press. They often have a larger circulation. The more serious newspapers are bigger in
size (broadsheet). Newspapers and magazines can be bought at news-stands, in supermarkets and at
petrol stations, and you can also subscribe to them. Nowadays it is less popular to read printed
newspapers and magazines, because people read them on their online platform, where they can also
express their opinions in the comment sections and exchange opinions with others.

Usually people read newspapers to stay informed about national and international events and
news but reading English language press can also help you improve your English.
