    Dear All,

    I'm hoping that you'll find doing this activity interesting and useful. For this project to be successful you need to remember to record the information about the words throughout the week because w/o having it we won't be able to complete the task so I'm hoping for your good work and am looking forward to preparing a report on your vocabulary learning experience using the information you will have collected.

But is it really good? Since the creation of "electronic readers" more and more people are turning to the technological side of reading.    One major advantage of e-books is portability. With the recent development of e-book readers, you can take an endless amount of books with you on vacation or on the go. Another great advantage of e-books is that they are chea...
