I'd spend most of my time reading. I'm an African and there's this misconception about Africans that if you want to hide anything from them, you have to put it in a book because they will not read it.
First, I'd like to prove that notion wrong because not all Africans hate to read. I love books, science, fiction, romance, true life, adventure, just name it.
There's so much information contained in books that we might never find unless we discipline ourselves to sit and read. Besides, I'm a read and write learner. I prefer to read than to watch.
Each time I read, I'm able to put my imagination to work and see beyond the environment where I'm sitted.
Reading also helps me improve my vocabulary better than i would have if i were to be watching a movie as I would want to look up the meaning of a new word or phrase so i could have a better understanding of the grammatical construction and incorporate it into my everyday English.
Very interesting reply and I must say that I have never heard about he notion of Africans not enjoying reading books.
Yes @runicar. Thanks very much.
