  5. 1-How can reading help me improve muy english skills

    In researching a topic I first: need to select a country, and then I need to research/read about it, then I need to decide what information to present, then I need to make a PowerPoint talking about what I searched and what im going to talk about.

    2- Reading Newspaper helps me learn more about my country so when I learn more about it I have more stuff to Share and talk about.

    3- First ifI shared my information with other people they will have new ideas and the will know what I think of so they do the same to me so I can knw what people think about my country.

    4- If we talked about a problem and keep finding new information that can conect to other problems it would be easier to solve them thats how it makes me inqusitive.
