This semester, I challenge myself to read two to three English books to improve my English reading skills. So I went to the library to buy three books that I'm interested in. These are the three books I'm chose

My thoughts: After finishing these three books, this is the one I like the most and really got feelings reading it. Because it's so emotional, it shows how people can feel lonely and how strangers can help each other. It made me think that sometimes strangers are important in our lives.

My thoughts: I think The Book Thief is sad but beautiful, a little bit too dark and sometimes sad for me. It shows how powerful books and words can be. Even in dark times, people can show kindness and love.
Liesel’s bravery and her love for reading touched me deeply. This book made me think about the value of stories and hope.

My thoughts:I think this book is exciting and meaningful. It’s not just a fun adventure and a happy fairy tale story we used to see, it also teaches a lesson. I liked how the book was funny but also deep. Jack and Jill make mistakes, but they grow stronger and kinder. This story reminded me that we don’t need to be perfect, we just need to be honest and brave.

After listening to hip hop albums, I'll go to Genius to learn the lyrics(3-4 albums per week)

abrahamchanggenius — 2025-06-01 18:43:09 UTC

I'm a hip hop head and have a hug passion and love for hip hop. Not those trap music or rap songs about drugs, money, and women. I prefer conscious, soulful, and jazz hip hop. Also, I'm an album guy, and lyrics are so important to hip hop. So I'll go to a website call Genius which I can learn more vocabulary and meaningful lyrics.

This is one of my favorite album: Be by Common. It talks about he want to be grateful, faithful, and live a gifted life. It's really jazzy and soulful an the lyrics are so powerful and make you feel you can accomplish everything in your life.

list some albums which I study the lyrics, Black on both sides by Mos Def

Watched modern family(1.5 hours per week)

abrahamchanggenius — 2025-06-01 19:02:25 UTC

Thoughts: I really like to watch this film while learning English. Because it's very relaxed and interesting. Also, they don't speak really fast so with caption it helped my English skills

Watch Brooklyn 99(1.5 hours per week)

abrahamchanggenius — 2025-06-01 19:08:09 UTC

My Thoughts: This film is full of humor and it's so funny. It made me want to keep watching it, same as modern family it doesn't speak really fast so it's easy to learn from watching and listening. RIP captain Holt

My thought:I learn a lot from this Ted talk because he told us about his rapping career and how to overcome those mental issues and keep moving foward

(1 hour per week)

abrahamchanggenius — 2025-06-01 19:20:45 UTC

I studied vocabulary and the TOEFL test every week

Watch CNN article(1 article per week)

abrahamchanggenius — 2025-06-01 19:27:47 UTC

summary: This article is about African players have some huge success in NBA and change their lives and give those African teenagers a dream to chase.

My thoughts: It's great to see more African players make marks in sports because most of them live in poverty and have financial problems. But now they can change their lives in different ways

Listened to NFR podcast(2 episodes per week)

abrahamchanggenius — 2025-06-01 19:36:16 UTC
