When we read, whatever the text is about,  we create in our minds an idea of the text in general and of the point of view of the author, according to this we interact with the text, we stablish a dialogue and at the end we sure might have an advantage of what we read, we may have had an experience that may even change our life!

Here we have a set of questions that may help you understand the text and can help you developing a better understanding of your reading comprenhension. 

1) Which part of the reading did you enjoy the most?

2) Did you identify the authors´ mood?

3) When did you begin to enjoy the reading?

4)When you decide to give up?

5)Would you read something else from the same author?

6)Did you like the author´s style?

It is time for you to design your own reading plan for this week!
