让我来帮你解决常见问题！

Question1: Which reasons for reading does the writer not talk about?

Answer: The writer doesn’t talk about reading for information, for explanation or for study purposes. And he doesn’t talk about everyday aspects of reading, like reading newspapers, shopping lists, instructions or recipes. I understand why the writer does not talk about these aspects. The passage is focused on literature.

Question2: Is the Internet changing the way we read and write?

Answer: Some people say so, because there is much more information on the Internet and some Internet reading and writing seem to be different, but I am not sure that this really changes how we read. It just means that we need to select what we read carefully, but you could have said that before the Internet was developed.

Some people say emails and texting is changing the way we write short informal messages, but if you look at them carefully the basic grammar is normal and what looks different is mostly just abbreviations and informal ways of saying a few things. I don’t think that’s a fundamental change really. It’s just a superficial change of style. The Internet gives us information quickly, but we can’t necessarily read it more quickly than we could without the Internet.
