The More Places You'll Go.

Dr. Sess

Any English-speaking child will confirm: Dr. Sius does not advise badly. If you like to read, but you are afraid to start from the bulk and full-fledged English novel, you should not worry.

1. Reading in English increases vocabulary

Reading in a foreign language enriches the vocabulary, even if we do not realize this. Of course, the new vocabulary digested more effectively, it is better to read the book, writing out unfamiliar words and memorizing their translation. When choosing books for reading guided by your learning goals: If you need a conversational speech, pay attention to the modern "light" prose, if you want to master the special vocabulary, the most obvious council is to read literature from the sphere of your professional interests.

2. Reading contributes to improving spelling

English spelling is full of mysteries and surprises. Writing many words is not amenable to logic: you have to just remember. And the best way to do is to read more English-speaking literature so that the images of the words have been postponed in memory.

3. Reading expands the horizons

E-books and blogs, news sites and tapes of social networks: reading in the twenty-first century has reached a new level. The unified information space makes it possible to learn about what is happening in the most remote corners of the world, to join the world cultural and scientific heritage.

4. Reading in the original language increases self-esteem

Listen to your feelings when you finish the last page of your first novel in English: a pleasant feeling. "She reads Orwell in the original" - Sounds proudly! Any psychologist will say: Motivation is important when performing any task. So do not miss the occasion once again to praise yourself, this one is not at all superfluous! :)

How to choose a book for reading

• Pick adapted books in English for your level (List of recommended books for A2-C1 levels, see later in the article).
• Choose works forces: start with short stories, gradually moving to larger literary forms.
• The more exciting training, the more efficiently: try to find interesting books for you. Detectives are suitable, thrillers, mysticism - or any other topics, which wakes up your imagination and makes it takes to read the book to the end.

Children's books in English

If you know in English just a few hundred words, pay attention to the children's literature: many children's books are interesting and adults. In addition, children's literature is usually generously equipped with illustrations, which helps to understand the plot.

Interesting fact: The famous Children's writer Dr. Sius, which was discussed earlier in our article, wrote his best book The Cat in the Hat ("Cat in a hat"), using only 220 words. This list of first children's words amounted to the publisher, obliging the author to use them in their work: everything to deserve love to the target audience!

Free English-speaking children's books can be found on the Internet. For example, on the KidSworldFun resource.

Comics in English

Like children's literature, comics - an excellent way to start reading in an unfamiliar language. There is a great set of comic genres: there are comics for children, for adults, entertainment and educational.

Film scripts in English

One of the proven and effective methods for mastering a new language recommended by many polyglotes is to read the language of books already familiar in translation. The same applies to the screen vendors: it is useful to read the scripts of the watchdogs. Advantages: The context is known, the plot is understandable, about the meaning of new words you can know in the course of the narration.

Books in English about personal development and professional literature

By reading them, you kill two hares: learn the vocabulary current to you in English and find out new on the topic important for you. If something is sharply interested in, why not read about it in English? Another advantage of such literature: it is easier reading than artistic novels. Style is easier, vocabulary is limited to the topic in question.

3 "Lifehak" for novice readers of English-speaking literature

Understand every word optional

Context Is King. (Context - king)! If you grapted the main idea of \u200b\u200bthe narrative, this is quite enough. Moreover, if you understand everything read - most likely, you took the book too low for yourself. Try to find such books where you know about 70% of vocabulary (the rest will have to write down and learn).

Read in English out loud

It may seem strange, but reading perfectly has established itself in the tasks of improving pronunciation and audience - if it is reading out loud. Reading out loud, you adjust the sound series of the language being studied. However, it is important to work on pronunciation and in addition to reading, otherwise the pronunciation of one or another word "guess" can annoy you subsequently for years.

When reading in English, listen to audiobooks

Studying English, in which the same combination of letters can sound like a dozen different ways, it is very important to pay attention to the correct pronunciation of new words.

The main characteristics are neutrality, versatility and simplicity.

Generally accepted: Standard vocabulary

The lexica is generally accepted (standard) is another class of vocabulary, which includes neutral, general formal and general informal vocabulary.

Standard Lexis \u003d Neutral Lexis + Common Literary Lexis + Common Colloquial Lexis

It is important to note that this most "standard English" is the main stock of words, the lexicological norm, valid in any English-speaking country. Ideally, this is explained by approximately: there are an Englishman, American, Irishman, Scot and Australian and stood a conversation (on the Standard English) and ... everyone understands each other! Wonderful!

However, in reality it may not always be possible, since people in different countries communicate like in English, but still in different ways, since there is no regulatory body that would be engaged in the "standardization" of the English language. Here much depends on the accent, pronunciation, etc.
Also, vocabulary is divided by style characteristics for 3 registers:

• spacious (informal)
• book (literary)
• high (official)

spacious (Simple)	kid.	daddy.	go ahead.	gO ON.	bE OFF / GET AWAY
book (Literary)	child	father	begin.	continue.	leve.
official (HIGH)	infant	parent / Ancestor	commence	proceed.	retire
russian translation	child	father, parent	forward, start	continue	leave, leaving

Formal and informal vocabulary

There is another major classification of vocabulary into two large groups -Formal (book vocabulary) and informal (conversational) vocabulary.

The formal vocabulary is a vocabulary used in various types of documentation, in printed publications, telecasts, documentary films, schools and universities, in government agencies. Also, this is a generally accepted category of words used in communication with certain social categories that neither friendly, nor related relationships are associated with us (bosses, teachers, strangers, clerks).

Informal vocabulary - these are the words we use in dealing with family, friends that we hear in feature films and plays, and we can also meet in a comic or in an unscientific magazine; She is shot by abbreviations and binding words.

These two dictionary groups are also divided into species smaller subgroups, depending on the sphere of consumption of a particular vocabulary stock.
