Hi, Kenn-san.
This is Moring.

〉Yesterday, my wife and I celebrated my 1-year anniversary in SSS Extensive Reading.
〉We drank wine to the anniversary. I would like to report a little.
Congraturation for your 1-year anniversary and your good wife.

〉I started SSS-E.R. at October 12th, 2002. And I got totally 3,425,256 words now.
〉In addition, what another good thing is my wife has gotten nearly 1,750,000 words.
Wow! Your wife is also Tadoku-reader?
You might buy many books and cost many money.
But if your wife read same books, the cost comes half. That's good.

I think you have good pace. It's almost 3-monthes for 1 million words?
I want to do Tadoku-Reading on same pace as you.
I hope you continue to read and keep your pace.
Also I ask you to advice other Tadoku-reader for helping.
Because you had read over 3 millions words and I guess the number of persons
who had read over 3 millions words is not so many.

〉2 books -----Traci Lords ”Underneath It All
I remember my promiss.
But, I'm sorry, I had not read this book still now.
I will read it before when I finish up 1 million words.
Any way how many words does this book have?

〉※ I enjoyed E.R., and I really appreciate SSS-method.
I feel same, too.

Happy reading you at all !

Hi, Moring-san. Long time no see!

〉Congraturation for your 1-year anniversary and your good wife.

Thank you so much!!

〉Wow! Your wife is also Tadoku-reader?

Yes, she is also a TADOKISUTO now.
She began SSS Extensive Reading since last winter.
And she reached 1million words at the end of Jun.

〉You might buy many books and cost many money.
〉But if your wife read same books, the cost comes half. That's good.

Precisely. You know, we could often talk about some books.
Besides, we sometimes could go to buy some English books.
And....... Oh! I sometimes asked her about what books were good, because, she had read many literature in translation.

〉I think you have good pace. It's almost 3-monthes for 1 million words?
〉I want to do Tadoku-Reading on same pace as you.
〉I hope you continue to read and keep your pace.

Thank you. I will try it.
In a caluculation, I read about 9,000 words a day.
But sometimes I couldn't read so much, so I read intensively when I had a holiday.

Nowadays, I read about 1 hour every day.
The reading times are 15 minutes in the morning, 20 minutes in the train, and 30 minutes in the evening. <<<< But, sometimes I couldn't of course.

〉Also I ask you to advice other Tadoku-reader for helping.

Let me see....

I believe the SSS's Three Golden Rules are very useful, relevant remarks.
___1. No dictionaries while reading.
___2. Skip over difficult words and phrases.
___3. Quit reading when the book is too content-h

And if I can, I want to add one more rule (No.0 rule):
___"Begin to read with easiest books, such as 200 words level."

Which means -in my opinion- if you couldn't read well, or you don't have any interests in the book, you should change another easy and fun books.

In other words, if you can't feel any plesure, that makes no sense (There is no sense in reading).

〉〉2 books -----Traci Lords ”Underneath It All
〉I remember my promiss.
〉But, I'm sorry, I had not read this book still now.

Oh! No problem.

〉Any way how many words does this book have?

I think its level is 2500, total words amount is 81,000 words.
But I wonder it is correct or not.

Anyway, happy reading together!

Hi, Kenn. This is Moring.

You wrote very good English statements, don't you?
But some words in your writing are too difficult for me.
Could you write statements in 600 headwords? (This is joke)

〉Yes, she is also a TADOKISUTO now.
〉She began SSS Extensive Reading since last winter.
〉And she reached 1million words at the end of Jun.
〉Precisely. You know, we could often talk about some books.
〉Besides, we sometimes could go to buy some English books.
〉And....... Oh! I sometimes asked her about what books were good,
〉because, she had read many literature in translation.
You and your wife share same pleasure. Good things!

〉In a caluculation, I read about 9,000 words a day.
〉But sometimes I couldn't read so much,
Same things happen on me too. It's normal.
I usualy read 7000 words a day constantly. But in this one month, I
read only several handreds words on somedays, and anotherday read over 10000 words. Not constant.

〉〉Also I ask you to advice other Tadoku-reader for helping.
〉I believe the SSS's Three Golden Rules are very useful, relevant remarks.
I think so.

〉And if I can, I want to add one more rule (No.0 rule):
〉___"Begin to read with easiest books, such as 200 words level."
I recomend A I Can Read series.

〉In other words, if you can't feel any plesure, that makes no sense (There is no sense in reading).
Yes. I agree with you. TADOKU-reading is not study,but hobby and joy.
We must enjoy this first.

〉Anyway, happy reading together!
Yes. Of course. Thank you.

Hi, Moring-san. Nice to meet you again!

〉You wrote very good English statements, don't you?

Did I ? I sweat with shame.

〉But some words in your writing are too difficult for me.
〉Could you write statements in 600 headwords? (This is joke)

Oh, I'm so sorry. Writing with easy words is very difficult, isn't it?
I always try to use J-H school level.

〉You and your wife share same pleasure. Good things!

That's right. To tell the truth, she got 1,700,000 words a little while ago.
But children sometimes said "YOU BOTH ARE ALLWAYS READING!"
So, we dare say "It's OK, isn't it?"

〉I recomend A I Can Read series.

Oh, I love that series. I borrowed it from Book Club.

〉Yes. I agree with you. TADOKU-reading is not study,but hobby and joy.
〉We must enjoy this first.

You can say that again. I quite agree with you.
I believe that joy is not ordinary joy, but good quality one.

Happy reading! Thank you!
