Tests, homework… While managing to finish all of my school work, sometimes it can be hard to pick a news to read for my 30-Day Challenge. When I usually have so much work to do, I choose short news, or news that I can understand easily. However, it is not an easy thing to choose a news to read.
I usually choose the news I want to read through The New York Times’ website. I believe that they have the best, and most detailed news. Whenever I go on to their websites, I can find whatever kind of news I want to read. The political news are the ones that usually appear on the front page. Unfortunately politics is the subject I hate the most, and I cannot understand it. So, I click on technology, or science. I enjoy reading science news. Choosing an interesting news to read helps me to read the news, and also enjoy it. I want my challenge to be an activity that I can have fun while doing it. That’s why choosing the news is the most important part of the challenge. For example one of the favorite news I have chosen was the news about Apple Watch which made me not to buy it. I think that these news help me a lot in changing my mind about daily events, like Apple Watch.
On Monday night, I had to study for two tests, and I also had to do tons of school work. Reading the news was in my mind, but I had to study for my tests first. When I was ready to click on The New York Times’ website, I was feeling very tired, but I forced myself to read a news. As soon as the website appeared in front of my eyes, I saw a news about a building in New York City. It sounded interesting, but there was one problem, it was very long. I remembered that in the past days of this challenge I have read so many news that were longer than that one. I was determined to read that news, and plus the topic was pretty interesting. I started reading it, and finished it by the time I thought it wasn’t finished yet. I realized that I have gotten used to reading long news, and I have gained patience. These news were helping me to gain knowledge, and new skills about reading.
I am happy that I had to do a challenge like this. This challenge forces me to learn new things about the world every day, and I can also develop my reading skills. I have learned some vocabulary words while reading various kinds of news. I hope that those words would be helpful in the future while I’m taking TOEFL or those kinds of tests.
The news that I have been reading in these last couple of days have been usually science based, since they are the ones that I prefer reading the most. However, I will try reading news different than science, since the main reason why I chose to read the news was to read about different worlds.
