Reading (subject, single), for a teacher, is a part of life that brings multiple benefits. Everything I read, from books to newspapers, is fuel for my teaching. In order to give the most to my students, I spend time browsing for ideas in many sources (object, phrase). One of my favourite reading activities is surfing through a number of Internet sites (subject complement, phrase). Here, to read is a quick exercise called scanning (subject complement, single). Sometimes, however, I do spend more time, especially when I visit the online magazine, Salon. Here, I often read whole articles. Because this online magazine is not offered in print, it often contains ideas that get me thinking. Another way I like to read is to spend time, usually in the summer, with a good science fiction novel. Imagining the many worlds in these books (subject, phrase) helps me to relax and forget about teaching for a while! My final way of reading is with the newspaper. This is something I do every day. Sometimes, though, it makes me begin worrying about the world (object, phrase). In all, reading brings me many benefits, and I spend a good part of every day engaged in this wonderful pastime.
