hi Bob the Canadian here welcome to this
English lesson where I'm going to
recommend six books that you can read to
help improve your English well hey
welcome to this video where I'm going to
give you six recommendations for books
that you can read to improve your
English but before we get started if you
are new to these English lessons please
click that red subscribe button below
and give me a thumbs up at some point
during this video if it's helping you
learn English so we're gonna look at six
different books and I'm going to go in
order of how thick they are so the first
book I'm starting with is a book called
the Pearl I'm gonna hide behind the book
so the camera focuses on it for a second
the Pearl is a really good book about
what happens when someone encounters
something of great wealth in their life
it's a book by John Steinbeck it is a
classic and it's a book that high school
students regularly read in Canada it is
a total of 88 pages long so not a super
long book in that sense and I think a
really good book for you to read to
learn just a little bit of English I've
recommended this book to some of you and
some of you have responded by telling me
that this was a great story to read it's
called the pearl a pearl is something
that you find inside of an oyster and it
has great value so I don't want to give
you too much information about the book
but this is my first recommendation of a
book that you could read my second
recommendation is a book called The Lion
the Witch and the Wardrobe and this is a
book by CS Lewis this is what we would
call a fantasy book so it takes place in
a fictional world and it is a really
good book to read because first of all
once again it's thin it's a little bit
thicker than the pearl it is a total of
let me see here 188 pages but I read
this story as a kid
so it's not a simple book but it is easy
to understand so this is my second
recommendation if you read this book or
if you choose this book you will want to
be someone who enjoys stories that are
about the fantasy world or a fantasy
world
this takes place in a land called Narnia
and it tells a story of some children
who find their way from our world into
this fantasy world it's a great book The
Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe by CS
Lewis I think you'll enjoy it the next
book that I want to recommend to you is
a book called Ender's Game by Orson
Scott Card this is what we would call a
science fiction book so it takes place
in the future it takes place in space it
takes place on earth and in space and it
is a really good story it's not super
long it's thicker of course then the
Pearl and the line of which in the
wardrobe this book comes in at 209 pages
but I really enjoyed this book it tells
the story of a boy named Ender Wiggin
and he goes to a school where he learns
to be a soldier in the future I will I
don't want to say too much about this
story but I really enjoyed this book
when I read it as a kid in fact I have
read this book three times so far oh and
one thing I forgot to mention is the
line the Witch and the Wardrobe and
Ender's Game are also both available as
movies so that can be very helpful for
you as well
anyways recommendation number three
Ender's Game really good book my fourth
recommendation is also science fiction
but it's also a really funny science
fiction book and it's called The
Hitchhiker's Guide to the galaxy by
Douglas Adams now before you think this
is a really thick book this particular
volume actually contains four books and
this book itself is only let me see here
252 pages so it's really only this much
of the
book is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the
galaxy the reason I love this book it is
science fiction but the reason I love it
is because it is funny and I think as an
English Learner if you read this book I
think the humor is is easy enough to
understand that as an English Learner
you would really appreciate it and liked
it as well so book number four the
Hitchhiker's Guide to the galaxy I think
you really like it oh also available as
a movie so you could read the book and
then go see the movie the fifth book
that I'm going to recommend is called
The Life of Pi and this is by Yann
Martel this is actually written by a
Canadian author you should fact check
that you should check on Google to make
sure I'm telling the truth but this is
by an author from Canada and it's the
Life of Pi it's the story of a boy who
is originally from India and due to
circumstances in life he questions all
the different religions and he ends up
making kind of an unorthodox trip across
the ocean you'll have to look that word
up but Life of Pi yet you'll see there's
a small boy in a boat with a tiger
hopefully that creates some intrigue for
you so Life of Pi that's the next book
that I highly recommend that you read it
comes in at 396 pages so a little longer
than the other recommendations but I do
think this is a great book for you to
read so the next book I'm going to
recommend is the firm by John Grisham
John Grisham is actually a really good
author he writes very exciting books I
think you'll really enjoy this one and
when you're done reading it there is
also a movie of the same name so that's
a really cool thing about most of the
books I've recommended there is usually
a movie that you can watch after you
read it but the firm is an exciting
story it's a story about a lawyer and if
you like stories about the law if you
like stories about lawyers I think you
will really really enjoyed this one as
well it was a very exciting book for me
to read in fact I have read
almost all of John Grisham's books
because this was one of the first ones I
read and it was very exciting so I think
you will enjoy it
well hey Bob the Canadian here that was
six books that you can read to help
improve your English I'm sorry about the
dog barking in the background
I assure you it's not Oscar but the
neighbor's dog seems to be a little bit
upset maybe the dog doesn't like that
