As I read the story “how to read like a writer” I learned that the author was a college graduate on English major on London, but he was working on a movie theatre without experience. He used to read with a flashlight on and in the background he would hear sounds from movies which was very distracting. The author would read the sentence or even the paragraph several times to understand. I learned that reading several times help when you get distracted and intense concentration needed to understand the topic. I also noticed author was questioning about writing quotes on reading “Would you want to start your own essay with a quote?” I found this useful and when I write an essay I will try this technique to improve my writings.
