8 Adventures with Books Unit 1 Speaking What kind of books do you like reading most? Why? Who is your favourite author? Ask another pupil questions about a book s/he has read. Reading 1 Skim this account of a visit to the library to find the answers to these questions. Which library did the children visit? What is the name of Taylor s friend? Who is Mrs. Webster? Skimming means looking over a text quickly to get a general idea of what it is about. Visit to Hanover Parish Library Taylor and Michelle are very fond of reading, so last week their mother took them to the Hanover Parish Library. When they went in, the children were amazed to see that there were thousands of books on the shelves. They noticed some children choosing books and others sitting quietly at tables reading. Taylor recognised one of his friends and went over to speak to him. Hello, Shawn, he whispered. Do you often come to the library? Yes, I ve been a member for two years. Would you like me to show you around? Shawn offered. First Shawn showed Taylor and Michelle the fiction section. This part of the library contains story books, poems and plays, he told them. It s easy to find the books you want because the authors names are in alphabetical order. Then he took them to the reference section. This section contains informational books like encyclopaedias and manuals, he said. I use the books in this section to find information for my school projects. I sometimes use the library computers as well to look things up on the 8 Read an account / skimming
9 Adventures with Books Unit 1 Internet. He pointed out a bank of computers at the other end of the library. Do you enjoy coming to the library? Michelle asked. Oh yes. I love spending time here. The thing I like best is Mrs. Webster s library club. Mrs. Webster is one of the librarians. We meet with her once a month to read stories and talk about our favourite books. Mrs. Webster recommends new books to us as well. At the moment we re getting ready for the National Reading Competition next April. On the way out of the library, Taylor s mother spoke to the librarian. How can the children join the library? she asked. To join the library they must fill out an application card. Then they will be allowed to take books out. Do we have to pay anything? asked Michelle. No, you can borrow one book free of charge for two weeks at a time. If you return the books late you will have to pay a fine. How soon can we start borrowing books? asked Taylor. If you fill out the form now, you can start taking books out right away. 2 Answer the questions. 1. What surprised Taylor and Michelle when they went into the library? 2. What did they see children doing in the library? 3. In which section of the library would you find a book of fables? 4. Which of these books would you expect to find in the reference section of a library? A. mystery stories B. biographies C. a cookery book D. a dictionary 5. Where can you find information for school projects? 6. A librarian is a person who A. borrows books from a library. B. helps children with their school work. C. looks after the books in a library. D. shows people how to use computers. 7. Explain how children can borrow books from the library. 8. Do you think Taylor was keen to join the library? How do you know? 9. Why is it important to be quiet in a library? 10. What would you most like to do in a library? Why? Vocabulary: classifying books 1 Are these books fiction or non-fiction? Write the titles in the table. Birds of the Caribbean: Peter Evans Baba and Mr. Big: C. Everard Palmer Tales from the West Indies: Philip Sherlock The Young Warriors: V.S. Reid Fiction Duppy Stories: David Brailsford Atlas of the Eastern Caribbean My First Spanish Dictionary Juice Box and Scandal: Hazel Campbell Non-fiction Baba and Mr. Big Comprehension / classifying books 9
