BOOK’S READING PRESENTATION
(It's an oral presentation)
Good afternoon, my name is Laia.
First of all, let me thank you all for coming here today.
The topic of my presentation is my experience with this activity which consists on a book's reading a book titled "The Red House". and, in the final, If you want to ask me anything have any questions, please, feel free to let me know.
The book is called “The Red House” and was written by Mark Haddon, an English writer, illustrator and screenwriter.
“The Red House” is based in on the holidays of a family, who spend seven days in on a farmstead located in a valley of the near/on the Welsh border. I am not going to explain all of the situations the family lives encounters during their holidays. But in general, I think the aim of the book, in addition to entertainment, is that the reader realises that anybody nobody is perfect. All of us have our problems, our experiences and our points of views.
On the other hand, regarding to my experience, I recognised I had never read a book in English. So, when I started it, I thought that I wasn’t going to understand anything. At first this was true, but then, as I read the book, I understood it better.
Neither I have known all the words, nor have I sought it in the dictionary, only if the word I did not know all the words, nor did I look them up in a dictionary, unless they appeared many times. But the context has helped me to understand. it. Moreover, In my opinion, the book is difficult to understand it, but the history is simple, so also this also helped me.
To conclude, these are all my feelings about reading the book. with the book’s reading, and as I said before, if you Does anyone have any questions?, feel free to let me know. NOTE: Perhaps if you gave one or two examples of the family's adventures, it would give your audience a better idea of what the book is all about?0 votedMay 25, 20150Please, check my text.

Thank you for your help!0 votedMay 25, 20150- Note: "if you ever experience a situation like that again" is not a sentence - it is a phrase. A complete sentence must have a subject and a predicate (the predicate contains the verb). Usually, when you begin a sentence with "If ..", you must complete it with a sentence beginning with "then". Example: "If it rains tomorrow, then I will not go to the park." Of course, most people do not include the word "then", so the sentence becomes, "If it rains tomorrow, I will not go to the park." This is also grammatically correct.0 votedMay 25, 20150
- All of this depends on where you are located when you make these statements. Your first sentence is perfect English if you are presently in Seattle (I came to Seattle from LA.). If you are not in Seattle when you say it, you would say, "I went from LA to Seattle." Your second sentence is possible, but only if you are at home when you say it! If you are not at home, you would say, "I went home from the grocery store."0 votedMay 25, 20151
- Hi Johnny Lin: Your question should say: Does the word "crotch" exist in American English, or is it just used in British English?" By the way, a "crutch" is a device that helps people walk when they have injured a leg; "crotch" means the junction or joining point of two limbs (person, tree, etc.).0 votedMay 25, 20150
