1. Do you like reading?

I think reading is one of the best ways to spend free time. When I get home from work, I like to relax in the evenings by reading a good book. I like to read a lot of thrilling and exciting fiction. I love a well told story, so reading always puts me in a good mood. I also read nonfiction from time to time and learn a lot of interesting facts. There are so many benefits to reading.

2. What kind of books do you read?

Mostly I like to read detective fiction. These are stories in which there are complicated crimes that are solved by a chari*atic (有魅力的）and intelligent detective. I find these stories very exciting and utterly captivating (非常吸引人）.My favourite detective stories are the Sherlock Holmes novels written by Arthur Conan Doyle. However, I also like to read a lot of non-fiction, so I learn a lot of interesting facts and theories.

3. Do you read electronic books?

At first I was against the idea of reading electronic books. I had very romantic notions (浪漫的想法）about physical paper books and thought that they were far superior to electronic books. However, a friend of mine explained how electronic books are much better for the environment as you do not have to cut trees down for paper. So now I read electronic books, and they seem just as good as paper books. Also you can often buy books very cheaply when they are electronic books.

4. Do you read books related to your profession?

occasionally read books related to my profession. I am an actor and there are some very interesting books on the art and history of acting. I like to read them from time to time as often there are good suggestions and lessons which improve my acting skills. These books are very helpful for my career and also they are often quite interesting. However, for the most part I like to escape my job and read fiction when I have time to read.
