六、阅读理解
I like reading a lot,and I always try to make it my son Lucas's hobby.
I begin to read stories to him. But he isn't interested in them. He enjoys some picture books. He doesn't want to read those long stories. I think I need to make a change.
I get an idea. My son loves Harry Potter,so one night,I stay with him to read the book. I read the first few chapters(章节),and in the middle of Chapter 4,when the most exciting plot(情节)comes,I stop. "My throat(喉咙)is hurting. I can't read any more."
"Mom,just a little more." "I'm sorry,honey. My throat just can't go on(继续)tonight."
"Please!" My plan is working. I tell him to read a little by himself(他自己),and he can go to bed a little past(晚于)his bedtime. He says yes. That is the night when my son becomes interested in Harry Potter and other stories.
Now,reading becomes Lucas's hobby. He spends a lot of free time reading every day. He really begins to know how amazing the book world is.
