Students explore the world of books, reading habits, and different literary genres such as novels, poetry, drama, fantasy, biography, and short stories. They discuss their favorite authors, characters, and storylines. The topic encourages students to analyze themes, express opinions, compare books and movies, and reflect on the role of literature in personal development and culture.

  • Direct: “Do you like reading detective stories?”

  • Reported: “He asked if I liked reading detective stories.”
