| Happy Reading! |
In these days of technology, it is difficult to find people who read the newspaper, page through a magazine, or devour a book. Print is being replaced by digital methods of gathering information. I have a Kindle and often use the Internet to research a topic, but I still prefer to turn the pages with my fingers and write messages in the margins with my own hand. Today I gave a French/English dictionary to a student. Yes, I realize that most people use Google to find the translation, but this student has a spark which leads me to believe that she will enjoy thumbing through the listings of expressions and studying the meanings of those verbose French remarks. I have seen her curiosity about the world beyond our classroom, and I think that she will take this little book to expand her knowledge of terms and utterances. A dictionary is a treasure chest of new phrases waiting to be expressed orally or in writing. Happy reading!
