What I learned about UNIT 7?

In this unit I learned about books and magazines. In my opinion this unit was a little difficult because I don’t like reading. I learned to recommend a book; to discuss the quality of reading materials and to describe reading habits. Also, I learned grammar about Noun clauses: Embedded questions are questions within another statement or question. They function as noun clauses and as such should generally follow statement, not question, order. To begin embedded information questions you should use a question word (could, would, can, etc.). I learned that a noun clause can be the direct object of a verb if mental activity and to use "so" to replace the noun clause in short answers. The vocabulary of this unit was very useful for me, now I can distinguish between different types of books such as: Fiction (a novel, a mystery, a thriller, a romance novel, science fiction and short stories)and Nonfiction (a bipgraphy, an autobiography, a travel book, a memoir and a self-help book). I could learned in a better way when I discussed some questions with my partners like: What is your favorite book?, Who is your favorite author?, What is your favorite genre?, What books have you recommended for other people?, and so on. Also, the teacher asked us to write a book review of our favorite book.We discussed the quality of some interesting books and magazines in class, too. Finally I think that this topic was very useful to have a conversation about personal intrests and now I am able to distinguish a book and I can talk about magazines with my friends.
