It can be so rewarding to reread/re-read all the articles

Posted by Expector Smith on December 1, 2015

I used to enjoy buying books and subscribing to magazines - you bet most of them are about English learning. Not until recently, however, did I realize that I shouldn't keep buying such books or magazines any more.

I need to find time to reread some of the articles because I know I may have rushed things when there were so many articles to read.

Yes, it can be so boring to reread the articles which are not new or fresh. I tried to pick up an old magazine (published a couple of years ago) the other day, and tried to read some of the articles, but guess what? I found myself reading them as they were newly published. I learned a lot from rereading the old articles.

Anyway, I read them to learn English - not to mention they are so well written and still interesting.

What? New Year's resolutions? Oh, yes, for me, it's the whole box of English magazines I just picked out. Does it sound like a great resolution for a new year?

@Seeker

We may have failed to get it when we first read something. Chances are you'll get it when you reread them after so many years of learning English - the better your English, the more you get. Thanks.

@Mohammad

Great comment! You're not alone - my son loves books, too, and hates to throw away the books which he'll never read again.

@Daniel

Thanks a lot.

For sure Expector. Go for it!

I also used to enjoy buying books, but unfortunately not to read them !!

@nechel

Thanks for the comment. Yes, you reread something old, but learn something new. It may sound like 'review' or 'revise'.

@Kevin

Yes, I agree with you. Watching TV series or drama on computer can be so rewarding, though. Thanks.

reading or rereading both are better than modern people who spent their time on the phone or watching TV i think.

It was such a good idea . Indeed I understand more and appreciate best after reading twice or thrice.

@Onee

Yes, it's a good idea to read newspaper articles. Make sure you're reading a quality one. Try to pay attention to the phrases or idioms and the grammar when you read - since we read to learn English, not really for the information. Thanks.

@setareh

Yes, I may have missed something when I first read the articles. I'll try to get it when I reread them. And, what's your resolutions for 2016? It's time to make New Year's resolutions. Thanks.

Dear Expector, often when I read a book for the second time I enjoyed it more and I find it more interesting. Sure it's a good resolution for new year to refresh your knowledge and even learn new things which you might have missed that time.

What a BRIGHT idea, Doc!

I actually wanted to read English newspaper, but here is rarely. For magazine...Ohh, for this I agree with Batuhan. I will drain my pocket. hehe.. And.. reading online is tiring......when it come to long... So, I will try to search for newspaper again.

Sure, the articles are always well written there. That's why I wanted to read.

@Batuhan

You really have a point there. Thanks for sharing the link - I'll check it out.

@mitran

Yes, reading can be so soothing. Thanks for the comments.
