Reading

　　Nicholas：What are you reading, Linda?

　　Linda：I’m reading a novel The Mill on the Floss, written by the famous novelist, George Eliot。

　　Nicholas：What’s it about?

　　Linda：It is mainly about the relationship about a brother and a sister, who live in a mill on river Floss. It describes their childhood and a dispute that causes them to separate. The book ends with them happily together again, but they were both killed in the flood。

　　Nicholas：Is it difficult to understand?

　　Linda：Not really, I would consider it easy。

　　Nicholas：Besides novels, are there any other types of literary works that you indulge in?

　　Linda：I really like short stories。

　　Nicholas：Have you read anything else besides literature?

　　Linda：Certainly I have. I like to read books on various subjects, and I read everything I can get my hands on in my spare time. I don’t want to idle away and waste my time。

　　Nicholas：I agree. People who don’t read are no better off than people who can’t read. I also agree that “Books are like food for the mind。”
