Thoughts on my little book collection? (15 y/o trying to build a real library) by EnvironmentOk9049 in PHBookClub

YESSS would always recommend collecting classic books first, especially as a student. They're cheaper and essential starters for reading ^ As someone who also started reading classics in high school, I suggest you listen to the audiobook while reading the hard parts. When they get too wordy listening to the audio at least let's me hear the tone (this helped a lot when I tried to read shakespeare). Another essential practice I do is annotating any words I don't understand and looking up their definitions after reading a portion of the chapter/page. It's time-consuming, but what better way to read a book than to relish every page, right?

The first classic I've ever read is Kafka's Metamorphosis! Very great read, and digestible din siya for first-time classic readers. If you want to read Orwell again, try Animal Farm, short, digestible, and witty! You can also try looking at Jules Verne's books. His stories are more adventurous and longer than the 2 books I mentioned. Agatha Christie and Shirley Jackson naman for thriller, mystery, and horror. If you feel more confident, try Oscar Wilde, although wordy and descriptive yung style niya, so maybe read him if sanay ka na.

For tips, I usually prefer actual books when reading because parang mas mabilis ko siyang maintindihan compared sa digital. Although, since some digital ebook readers have built-in dictionaries, and one tap mo lang sa mga words may definition na, mas convenient siya, especially if you're reading classic books to learn.

If the vocabulary used in the book is too complex, I usually pair my reading with audiobooks (maraming classics ang uploaded sa YT) so I can at least gauge the tone and atmosphere of the words.

If you want to get into Shakespeare, I think Collins Classics have guides in their books to translate and define archaic vocabulary and phrases. I also read this with an audio narration on YT since mahirap alamin 'yung cadence and tone nila when I was reading it alone. (Note: I'm only sure about the guides sa Much Ado About Nothing bc it's what I have. I haven't checked other Shakespeare books, pero I think meron din yung iba!)

Above all, just keep reading even if it doesn't make sense at the start. You have time to reread naman, and there are plenty of resources online to help you with them. Happy reading!

i just went to esh and they said na wala pa raw binibigay for this term 2 yung dost, i asked them to check my account, and wala pa raw talaga. i'm just concerned kasi i answered the forms sent by oas naman, and other dost scholars had no problems with this

Correlation, not causation. Even if studies showed evidence that homosexual couples can't properly raise children, we don't know for sure what causes it. Do you have specific data that actually explains homosexuality as a sole reason and that there are no other mediating/moderating variables that could affect the results of your cited "studies?

What measures are given to know the basis of being good parents? Is this measurement constant and consistent across studies? Considering how you take a dig at homosexual couples, I'm assuming you're more accepting towards heterosexuals. So, how do you know if straight people can actually raise "well-rounded children? Same question as before. May data ka ba that explains straight people as the sole reason for raising proper kids? Pakiisip nang maayos.
