Books and Magazines

Listen to the Entire Lesson

Books and magazines contain a wealth of information. Learning new things, finding information needed to help with projects or simply a way to escape from the everyday world are some of the many reasons why people read books and magazines. Reading books is also a great way to spend time with your children for fun, or to share what you have learned with family and friends.

Here are some questions you might ask while at a bookstore.

"What are some of the bestsellers?"

"What are some new releases?"

"Where can I find books by a particular author?"

"Where is the children's section?"

"Do you have books on animals?"

"Do you offer a membership for customers?"

"Does this magazine have monthly or yearly subscription?"

"Can I get a subscription sent to my business?"

"Can I reserve a book?"

You can also make many statements about books to your friends.

"I just finished reading a book on money management. It was very informative."

"I love reading. If I am not out, I am usually in my room reading a book."

"My favorite types of books are autobiographies."

"The new fiction bestseller was fun. You have to read it."

"Buying books as a present is not appreciated by the kid, but the parents usually love them."

"I really like getting books as a gift."
