Fun reading activity

Reading may be the most tiring activity in English learning activity, to manage it, we have to love reading itself. If you read something in purpose to gain benefit but you don't enjoy it, it's useless. How to make it become useful? read what you like! One of the ways is by reading manga/comic, there are reasons why it helps a lot!

In reading it is because you can read the bubbled texts while seeing the pictures. Therefore make it easier for you to comprehend or guessing the meaning of some difficult words/sentences by having the clue or help from the pictures. This won't be an issue though if you have an adequate level of vocabularies in your arsenal.

As for writing, it always nice when you have some examples of sentences to write certain situations or conditions to be used in the real writing session, and mangas/comics are some of the best sources to get it, even though sometimes they aren't using a proper and formal English. Just like for reading, the pictures will help you to understand and grab the hold of the differences between sentences or words in certain situations and conditions that seems similar but actually different. I found it quite common that some people often using the general meaning to translate or write about something. They tend to not knowing the difference in the contextual meaning, so I hope this could help you.
