Are Computers helpful?
Some people think that they spend more time on computers and others think that computers are very helpful. The people that think computers are just to waste time are wrong. For example, if they need information about a president to write a summary. They are going to spend more time looking for the encyclopedia that has the information they need. However, people that already have knowledge about computers, they can do many things. People can do homework, study, work and find any kind of information they need. For instance, if they need information about any of the presidents of the United States, they just go to www.whithouse.gov and click on the icon at the top that says “History and Tour”. Then click on “Presidents’ hall”. It will take them to a list of all the presidents of U.S.A. I think that the computers are really helpful because I can save time getting all the information I need just with a few clicks.

Subject: MY READING HABITS
The following statements explain my reading habits. I hope that my statements help you to understand my reading study techniques. I always go to the library (at San Jose City College) to read my fiction and narrative book (Shadow of Dragon or The Circuit), but I take a bathe before that. Then when I am in the library, I always look for the last desk in the corner where I like to sit because it is quiet, and the light is soft and nobody bothers me. Also, I use some tools. For example, I use my pen and notebook to write down what I did not understand. After I finish, I give a reward to myself. For example, I go for breakfast or I play video games at the cafeteria’s school for ten minutes. Then I go back to the same place and start reading again. I think these are good techniques to read. And I would recommend them to people that don’t like to read very much.
