i
ay,
can finish the book little by little. If you are riding a bus or
train when you go into your job, you can also read. You
don’t need to rush on reading your book just to finish it. If
you read fast, you won’t be abl e t o under st and and
appr eci at e t he st or y. Tr y car r yi ng a book anyw e

and you wait her in her house. Read your book so that you
won’t get bor ed w l e w t i ng f or your gi r l f r i end.
