Profile of my own reading habits

Although I am not a keen reader, I like to read and enjoy reading.
I usually read one book per week. I sometimes write a review of reading and I also check about the author or more information about book that I really appreciated.
I subscribe 'reades digest' monthly and sometimes read some articles from newspaper like 'Time'.

I feel comfortable when I read some fictions. I just feel free to read some interesting stories.
However, when I read some non-fictions or difficult books which require amount of concentration, I feel nervous. Especially when I read textbooks.

I choose books from some lists such as books of recommendation lists or significant books for my age. I get books from my tuition center or national library and school library. I also can find books that I have not started to read yet-from my father's study room. While I'm reading, I always try to imagine places, characters...etc. I like book which I can get many things from it.

I enjoying reading English literatures. So I have enjoyed reading ' Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen in the past year. I also watched movie after I read this book.

My goals for this year are read more english books and study vocabularies to make my own words. And read more poems to understand them.

About Myself

This is the picture of clouds that I have taken.

My name is Joo, Min Jung.

I'm from South Korea.

I lived in there for 14 years and moved to Singapore in this January.

So my English is poor and need to improve.

Especially , Speaking is extremely hard to me.

I always feel shy when I meet new people or speaking in front of many people.

I have father, mother and two younger brothers.

One is in grade 7 in middle school and the other is in grade 5 in elementary school.

I love to play the piano. I started to play when I was 6 years old.

My favorite musical composer is Chopin. I like his gorgeous and vivid melodies.

I think the most beautiful thing in Singapore is cloud.

I like to observe clouds in the sky.
