What Kinds of Books Do You Read?

I am told by one of my dad's sisters that an Indonesian who lived in England, a Batak woman, gave some of Enid Blyton's work for her to bring to Indonesia, when I was around 4 years of age. My dad's sister visited her in England, they were friends. I am glad that I could have and read the books.

I started to read Enid Blyton's when I was a junior high. At that time, I hardly could understand the texts, the very reason why the sister of my dad only gave the books for me during this time. I am told that she did so since she didn't want the books being damaged, torn and lost if these books were in the village.

At junior high, I was trained at home to practice reading Enid Blyton's. Beside reading the books, I was also trained to write the stories with handwriting.

These kinds of trainings, reading and writing, and also, sometimes, reciting, do have significant contributions to my ability to understand English and also at the same time, boosting my will to read.

I understand now, that learning English only at school, is not enough to make a person fluent, or at least have a good capability on using it such as in reading, writing and understanding. We get to train ourselves out side of school-classroom.***
