BOOKS ARE USEFUL FOR LEARNING

Last Saint George's day, my parents bought me a book about science. When I say science a lot of people would think that reading this type of book is boring and tedious. In fact, most of the time they are correct, but what they don't know is that my science book is different.

The book I'm reading is very interesting because it has a special method. It's divided into two parts.

In the first part we have scientific problems to solve. These problems are very well described because the wording is simple; it means that it is easy to understand. Every problem is about two boys (Isaac and Albert) and a girl (Marie), they expose a question related to the situation at that moment. In some problems, they suggest possible solutions, but it doesn't mean that those possible solutions are the real ones, maybe both are correct or only one of them has solved it. One of the problems was who is going to get more wet if it rains and Marie said that the one who is running will get wet faster, but Isaac’s suggestion was the person who is walking, so who has the right answer?

The answer was the ones who is walking will get more wet, but it seems that it should be the one who is running, because when it's raining and you are going fast it seems that it rains with more intensity, but it's only feeling. You will find the answers in the second part. This part contains the solutions to the problems. The solution is explained in easy words for people who aren't connected with scientific questions, so everybody can read and understand this book.

A disadvantage of the book is that the last part is in the back and it's not very convenient because you have to turn the pages all time. I had to put two markers- one on the problem that I'm doing and the other on the solution, so now it's not a problem. The book has this structure to make us think more, because if we had the answer after the question we would directly read it , so in some way it is an advantage.

I'll recommend this book to everybody who likes reading and who is interested in science or to someone who wants to know this fantastic world.
