Reading is so boring. When I first started reading, one of
the two things would happen…The book would put me to sleep or I would get a
headache because even after reading a sentence over and over again, I would
still not understand what it means. But look at me. Today, not only do I
understand whets written in a book but I can also speak in English fluently because
Reading has improved my Sentence Formation skills and it can do the same to
you.

Start a vocabulary book of useful words

Comic books Remember in school text books, you
used to look forward to the pages that had pictures on them because pictures
made the boring text appear interesting. Same logic. If you find reading boring
then pick up a book that is full of pictures aka comic books. Do you watch Big
Bang Theory? There is a reason why Raj, Sheldon, Leonard and Howard are down at
the Comic Book Store all the time. It’s because comics are fun! I started
reading books because of Tinkle. May be its the bright colors or characters
like Suppandi and Chacha Chaudhary, but they just keep me hooked. So feel no
shame in picking up a comic book that is full of photos because that is how you
start reading. Just get the Tinkle Digest or the Tinkle Magazine from Amazon
and you are good to go. Btw, I have mentioned an Amazon Link in the description
in which I have listed down all the books that I am going to mention today. Mystery
Novels Now, after comics you want to progress to Novels but not commit too much
to them. So pick up a  Small book. Look,
I am not being shallow. If you are a beginner,

which of these 2 books will you pick? Obviously, the smaller
one. That’s Encouragement .You need smaller tasks that are easy to finish because
they will give you the confidence to pick up a bigger task. So for this genre,
I would recommend   book series. Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys and my
absolute favorite. Goosebumps by R.L. Stine! All of these are small mystery
novels that use simple English and you just cannot put them down because you
would want to know what happens on the next page! So you’ll actually end up
finishing.

 The book and that is how you develop the habit of reading. Romance/Love
Stories .Lets accept it. We all need love. You might not have found your
perfect guy or girl in real life but they do exist in between the lines of
romantic novels. Another reason why I recommend love stories is because we live
in a society that discourages us from expressing our emotions and these love
stories help you release your emotions .

So you might actually end
up crying your heart out on a Friday evening sorta like a catharsis. So, for
beginners I would recommend 2 books..Fault in our Stars and Twilight. I know
what you are thinking…Twilight?!Hey….don’t judge a book by its movie. Just
read the first novel and then decide whether you want to read the second and
third novels from the Twilight series. Biographies I am not into Biographies. Reading
a book full of achievement, achievement, achievement of super successful
people, sorta makes me feel like a loser. It’s worse than scrolling through
Instagram. But if the writer is dope, then biographies do get interesting. And
you also end up learning a lot. So for this genre, I would recommend 2 books. Born
a Crime and Elon  Musk. You have to read
these novels. They are simple and they are inspirational.

 I
tell you the 5th genre, I wanted to ask you something. Just like this, Books to
read to improve your English video I am planning to make a You tubers to follow
to improve your English video. So comment below and tell me, who is your favorite   YouTube.
I might just include him/her in my next video. Random Fiction Honestly, I just
wanted this last section to be dedicated to all of my favorite novels that have
helped me develop the habit of reading. Trust me, none of these 5 books will
disappoint you. A Thousand  Splendid Suns.
The Alchemist. The White Tiger.  Deception Point by Dan Brown. Harry Potter All
the 7 books are amazing .Although, the 5th one might slightly put you to sleep.
So earlier I used to buy physical books. But recently I’ve shifted to kindle
just because it is easier to carry wherever I go. You can access all the books
that I have mentioned today and the Kindle that I use by clicking on the Amazon
link as mentioned in the description. This festive season, if you are anyway
going to gift yourself something then gift yourself, the power of learning. So,
doing exercises from a grammar book are important but 80% of my sentence
formational skills came from reading non-grammar books like the ones I have
just mentioned. Heres what I used to do. Every time, I liked a sentence in a
book I would underline it and say it out loud 2-3 times.That way, I would
remember to use those sentences whenever I am talking to someone. Sometimes I
would find a funny line in a murder mystery or a romantic line in a horror story
and I would note them down in a notepad called, Good sentences.

 So today’s Bonus Tip
is this. Practice the sentences that you like. When you repeat these lines,
you will understand sentence formation and it will help you in your conversations.
