A:You are still reading that book,aren't you?How long (you/read)it?
Talk about a book you are reading now or have read recently. You should say:
How and why you got it
How long you it took you to read it or how long you have been reading it
What kind of book it is
And say if you would like to read something else similar or not, and why
I was bought by my mother a book related to astronomy from a bookstore near my school. Thanks to my unremitting efforts, I got a high score in my school's exam. And that's why my mother gave me that book. I've been tinkering with and reading the book for the past 2 to 3 days. It is a kind of book of knowledge mainly about astronomy. In short, I'm still reading it. In addition to books about knowledge, I also like to read good literature books because they are really useful
-I have a very good book about Uncle Ho's simple virtue.The book was bought by myself because I was very interested in civics education, it helped me learn more about Uncle Ho, our beloved leader.
-It took me about a week to read it all because the book I bought was quite thick.
-It's a simple and educational audiobook for middle school students.
-I really want to read such books, read as many good things. Because I will be taking the exam for good student in civics, the book will help me review my knowledge and add to the knowledge that I lack. Most importantly, it is my own dream to become a lawyer in the future and such books will help me become a good lawyer.
Those books was bought from my mother and why I got it because I got good grades for that last semester and it names is Percy Jackson and Olympians. I read that book about 3-4 times in a row to finish it, but that kind of book doesn't have just one volume, it has many other volumes as well (another long time to read all of that .-.). I don't know what kind of book is it but I think those books can help me to relieve fatigue and boredom. I also enjoy reading science books because they would be useful for my future (maybe).

Will people still read books 100 years from now? A few years ago, many people would have said no. It seemed likely that computers and the Internet would replace books. Now, however, most experts think that books are here to stay.
There are a number of reasons why computers will not replace books entirely. One reason is that books on paper are much cheaper than computers. And books do not need a power source. You can read a book for as long as you want and wherever you want. You never have to worry about losing power. Also, many people feel more comfortable reading woeds in a book than reading woeds on a computer screen because it is less tiring to the eyes.
Will books in the future be exactly the same as the books you can buy today? The answer to that question is no. In the future, you may only need to buy one book. With this one book, you will be able to read novels, plays, and newspapers. It will look like today's books, but it will be electronic.
One of the people working on the book of the future is Professor joseph Jacobson from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Professor Jacobson's electronic book will have a small button on the side. When you oress the button, woeds will instantlu appear on the page. When you want to read a different story, you can push the button again and a new story will quickly appear.
