I personally think it depends on what I'm reading. For example: When I was reading the Game Of Thrones books, after each chapter I liked to put the book down and think, "WOW. Did that really just happen?" and then shortly after I would start reading the book again because it is the type of book that you don't want to put down. Whereas, when I read Twilight (yes, I am ashamed). I would read it while doing other things. I would read the book while I had five minutes waiting for the school ride, or whatever. I would read every now and again, when I had a few spare minutes or while I was free. I didn't make time for the book like I did with the Game Of Thrones books. So in my honest opinion, it depends on the type of thing you are reading, and how much you enjoy it. Hope this helps. Also, read the Game Of Thrones books! Your mind will be blown!

It totally depends really. I only really got worried while I was doing my Music A Level exam. As something like 60% of it was theory. In my personal opinion, the education exam board is really messed up. - As it doesn't challenge your knowledge, but it does challenge your memory. Which, in my opinion, isn't what you're in school/college for. I no longer have exams as I am back in college doing an L3 Extended BTEC Diploma, so there is no exam at the end of it. However, my other half in in college doing his A Levels, and he worries like mad. But personally, I think he's more worried about what is family will think if he doesn't pass.

When did you start to learn a second language?
MeganBeanCobain replied to cbintz's topic in Language Learning
I started to learn my second language (French) when I was six. My parents had just gotten a divorce, so I traveled with my father. He got a job in France, so we lived there for about three years. - Then we moved to Germany. So French is my second language. :grin:
