Reading 2

 The book I read was about statistics from Japan. My partner and I took a long time to read it because it was a lot harder. We were able to slowly chip away at understanding it page by page. We got the gist of most pages eventually without help but there were a couple of times that we needed some added assistance to get what it was really saying. I think the book would’ve been written similarly if it had been an American book, we might’ve had an easier time reading it if it was about America because it would’ve been easier for us to decipher what the book said with context from being American. Some of the things written were hard to understand because I didn’t know the things being spoken about Japan. We then read a book about a little girl whose parents divorce and she has to get used to her new home. This book also took us some time to read but was easier than the last book to understand. We already had a lot of the words that I needed to put it together. The story was actually pretty interesting and had a nice ending despite the darker beginning. It was cool to be able to read these harder books, it takes a while and it’s not easy but chipping away at them is satisfying in the end. I hope that I can learn to read more advanced books with time. I'd like to read some of the stories that I already like in Japanese. I think that by doing that I could read some harder stories faster because I already know the story pretty well.
