You want to read!! That itself is an amazing starting point. Beyond that, though, you're right, it can be pretty hard.

The first step is to figure out what you're interested in. This will take some experimentation, but if you try to force yourself to read when you're really <em>not </em>interested, it'll feel like a chore, any motivation you had will disappear, and you'll be worse off than when you started. So start looking into different genres and find out what works for you. If you like movies of a certain genre, you can start from there. If you have friends who like to read, you can also ask them for recommendations, because they know you and might know what you'd like.

Always sticking to one type of book might get boring, too, so don't be afraid to spice things up! You might discover something else you love.

If you do have friends who like to read, and they recommend books to you, they'll probably ask you about your progress lol so you'll have a reason to keep reading. Take it from someone who reads and has a <em>lot</em> of friends who do as well-- they will NOT let you forget. You could also ask them, or your family to remind you about your reading goals!

This next part is important-- don't feel like you <em>have</em> to read. It's great to have a schedule and to try to sit down and read every day at a given time, but if you try to force things... like I mentioned earlier, you'll lose interest. There's no rulebook that defines what a reader is. If you read one book a week, you're obviously a reader. But if you read one book in a month, you're still a reader. One in a year? You're still a reader. Your speed and the amount you read don't change how much of a reader you are, so don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just have fun!

Oh, and! One last thing. If you find what you really like, and they're books "meant for kids," or just not "cool enough," don't worry about it. Read what you want, your reading journey is your own. Other people's judgements mean nothing.

The tips from the other answer are also useful! Hope I could help you!! (GOOD LUCK!!)

Please help me choose<br><br>Which three excerpts would best be characterized as expository texts?
Naddika [18.5K]

Expository text gets to the point rather quickly. It is intended as education rather than just narrative text. An example of narrative text is the Excerpt by Charles Dickens which is meant to draw a picture of what this woman was like.

So the last one is out.


The first one talks about volcanoes and how they are classified. That's one of your answers if you are trying for brevety and education.


I think the second one would also be a choice. It is trying to show you the nature of anxiety and what causes it. You learn a lot about symptoms from reading it. It's quick and to the point. Expository? Yes.


I don't think four is exactly expository, but I might be wrong. It sounds too argumentative to be completely expository. It wouldn't be my first choice even though I have read Twain a great deal, beginning in my teens. He always has something pointedly funny to say about the human condition. So it's hard for me not to include him in anything. It's not exactly narrative either. The tough ones are three and four.


Three tries to tell you what it would be like to live in another country. I think it likely is the choice you are looking for.


Answers 1,23. I could be wrong, so if you have a different answer in mind, go with it.

a pygmy hippo, like calvin coolidge's pet billy, can weigh around 600 pounds. determine if the prepositional phrase is an adverb
vladimir2022 [97]
I believe that the best answer for this question is an adjectival prepositional phrase because it describes a noun. It modifies the words "a pygmy hippo," which is the subject of the sentence and therefore a noun. Adjectival prepositional phrases modify nouns, while adverbial prepositional phrases modify verbs, adverbs, or adjectives. Hope this helps.
