My friend Daniel loves reading, especially history books. Every week, he borrows a new book from the school library. Right now, he’s reading about ancient Egypt. “I want to know how people lived a long time ago,” he says. He reads a little every night before bed. He uses a small notebook to write down new words he doesn’t know. He looks up the meaning and writes a sentence with each one. “That’s how I remember them,” he explains. I used to think history was boring, but Daniel makes it sound interesting. He tells stories from his books, like how the pyramids were built or what kings wore. He also learns English while learning about history. Watching Daniel made me curious. Last week, I borrowed a book about space history. I started reading just a few pages each night. It wasn’t easy at first, but I kept going. I learned new words like “planet,” “astronaut,” and “mission.” Now, Daniel and I talk about our books during lunch. Reading helps us understand the world—and practice English in a fun way. I never thought a history book could teach me more than history.
