Breathe books!
We're living the technology era. Computers, cell phones, dvds, Ipods and so on. I hardly hear of students that actually read books anymore. "Oh, yeah, I read some stuff on the net". "I read newspapers and magazines", they say.To me, they don't know what they're missing. Is there anything greater than the feeling we get from being in a book store? Uuuhh... okay, okay, sleeping, eating chocolate, kissing, Sunday morning lie-in... whatever, you know what I mean!
It's a reality we face. What can we do as teachers? Not letting their reading habit vanish! If students don't pay a visit to the book shops anymore, let's take the books to them!
This amazing site brings interviews with renown authors, as you can check here. Students can listen to poems online, and if they're just way too lazy, they can listen to whole literature books. Wanna listen to Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" online? Here you go! All you need is real audio for that.
Yep, it's true. Have fun!

You're so right... reading a book is much more exciting than tiring your eyes on a PC - and most people realize that. It's a shame it seems people aren't keeping the habit, though (at least not here in Brazil).
About the shortcut, yeah, I'm a language teacher, man... can't help it spreading, though.
Cheers! : )
