Reading is a receptive skill. This means that reading is a process in which you do not produce but receive, deal with and understand a language.
Reading is one of the most important skills in our daily life. We often need to read signs, instructions, news articles and other written information. However, reading is not only dedicated to this purpose. Reading is also a lot of fun and a way of relaxing!
We provide different English texts for reading as well as additional exercises for practising your reading comprehension.
