Just write something to practice
I don't like reading books, because I can not concentrate, and fall asleep easily. Even that's a textbook, I can easily fall asleep within 30 minutes. I always fell asleep in class when I was a school student, that's why my study was bad. I only read magazines which are mainly pictures and little text.
I brought 4 books from Amazon.cn last week, which cost me about USD 70, it's a lot of money for me. One is the novel DEAR JOHN, the other three is about the American rapper, the angry man and the loving father, Eminem. All of them are full of English text, I am thinking when can I finish all of them? Totally have no idea about it.
I started to read DEAR JOHN about 5 days ago, but I only finished 61 pages out of 335 (shame on me ﹃_﹄;;;). I have to finish all the books, because I love DEAR JOHN, I love Eminem, I think the love can help me to do it. If I can not spend days to finish, then I spend years to do it. ⊙︹⊙;;; haha~~lol
By the way, is there any good way to help to concentrate on reading? I totally sick of my bad habit. Somebody help please!

@BUD: Thanks for your suggestion. According to what you said, I feel like reading can offer you a chance to act as you are one of the characters in the book, to bring you into every scene and play to the imagination, and can learn new things. I think it’s interesting! I definitely will have a try, thank you! And thank you for the compliment about my English, haha~~ I will keep doing well.

@lkyuya: haha~~ Sorry to hear that you have the same problem with me, it’s not good. I have some small books, and I know there could be dust on the covers, haha~~ Yes, shorter books maybe is not that good, some of them are the summarization of the original books, it can only tell you about the story, but not good enough to let you know the detail.

Try to read as you having a conversation with the author, Create ideas in your mind while reading that what could be possibly the best line instead of what the author has written here. Keep questioning yourself while reading, If the written content is true? or what else is coming? Build that curiosity in you. Hope it will work for you. By the way, your English is good. Good luck.
