Reading provides us multiple benefits:
• It reduces stress and makes us calm
• It fills us with knowledge
• Expands our vocabulary and our imagination (and therefore our mind)
• It improves our memory
• Focuses our concentration
• It improves our reading and writing skills
• It provides us with free and endless entertainment
Can you come up with some other benefits of reading?
Today I’d like you to listen to the song The Tale of Brave Ulysses by Cream and do a fill in the gaps activity as we used to do in class. You can listen to it as many times as you need.
After that, here is a link to a page where you will find lots of beautiful Greek myths so you can read as many as you want.
For homework you will read the ones you want (at least one). You will make a list of the myths you read and you will choose your favourite and explain why you liked it.
I hope you enjoy reading these fascinating stories that after 4.000 years are still considered to be among the greatest stories of all time.
