MY REFLECTION:

There are huge diferences between number two or four and number three. For starting I identify myself with the second one because I remember when I was a child and I was reading comics or learning books, and sometimes when I was in trouble, my mother pointed out some elements in the book. Also, in my town there is a lybrary and oftenly my teachers recommend finding an especific book in order to get information for my homework.

However, in picture number 3. I estimate it´s about an electronic book. I can see advantages and disavantages. First of all, you can have in your hand dozens of book at the same time and you can choose whatever you want, and wherever you need. Personally, I think it´s unbelievable, it´s a good invent. Nevertheless, I still prefer a phisical book. I love the taste and go forwards and backwards turning pages. 

Related to first picture, I have never sat down in a lecture like that, but I know that since a few years ago it is very common to organize an afternoon with a sweet coffe and an entertaining book. Perhaps, I can try it once.

The last photo reminds me of my father when he bougt the newspaper and go to the bathroom for a long time. Currently, it is difficult to buy a paper magazine because in my town there isn´t any shop.

What, when, why and how I read : 

I read a lot of academic books to find information for my classes at this moment. But when I have free time at weekends, and every year at summer, I normally read at least two or three books. Last year I enroll in the local beach lybrary to read books for free, and I can stay in a lecture room, and it´s fantastic. The atmosphere to read is so appropiate.

Why and how depends on the person. If a person dislikes it, there is no reason to read, but my case is the opposite, I love it.
