For six years I have been studying in the national system but this year I joined the international educational programme for IGCSE. I found lots of advantages here like it depends on your critical thinking, improves your skills, improves your language and has a very organized system. One of the subjects which they concentrate on is the library lesson . In the national system , library lesson is all about  going to the library ,choosing a book ,and trying to read it, but here we began with knowing the index, the author, the introduction,….etc, the next lesson we  practiced on the difference between written facts and opinions. I think that’s what’s meant by reading . Knowing what’s the main parts in any book and deciding what’s  the author’s point of view and then criticising it positively or negatively. I think one of our major cultural problems in reading is taking any written material for granted as if it’s Qur’an. Hopefully, I will have happier time studying and wish you all the same!!
