  2. Do you like books? Why / why not?
  3. How many books do your read every year on average  (keskmiselt)? What kind of books do you enjoy?

    1) We have books in order to read them. Books teach us and help gain new insights. Also books take us boredom away.
    2)Yes I do. When book is intresting then i like it. It takes my boredom away.
    3)Somehow I read only shcool required reading. I like books what are intresting and youthful. I don't like read about wars and that kind a stuff, it's boring to me.
    4)The latest book what i have read called "Appi"("Help" in english). The author of this book is Helga Nõu. In that book I learned that an accident waiting to happen.
    5)The advantages of books over computers are following: Book doesn't break eyes as much as computer, You can take book everywhere with you, it's easy to handle, it doesn't takes electricity and it's cheaper than computer.

  1. Dear Kristel,

    It has been very interesting to get to know your views on books! Also, you have used some very smart expressions like 'gain new insights'!

    Here is the feedback to your blog entry.

    You have answered the questions very well, writing at least two full sentences for all the questions apart from the last one (your score for this part of the task: 9/10).

    As for the words that you had to use from the wordlist ("Use at least 5 words from the list that we discussed and wrote down during the class. Make these words bold."), I couldn't see you mark any of these words bold, although I could spot some traces of them. Your score for this part of the task: 2,5/5)

    Your total score for this task as of now: 11,5/15 - 77%.

    Some more learning points from this text:
    * 'Us' means 'meid' in Estonian, 'our' means 'meie (oma)'. Example: 'Books take our boredom away'.
    * I couldn't fully understand what you meant by the sentence 'In that book I learned that an accident waiting to happen'. Please see if you can make it clearer :)
    * 'Silmi rikkuma' in English could be 'damage eyes'. 'Break' means more like 'katki tegema', which is not the case here :)
    * When you use the word 'doesn't' in a sentence, then the there is no 's' at the end of the verb after he/she/it: 'it doesn't take electricity'.

    If you have any questions, please make sure to ask me.
