What I learned personally from reading this book

First of all, I noticed that reading the book was more interesting than I expected. Reading it in English made it more attractive for me because I could improve my English skills through that, which is a goal of mine. I found it very nice that we could pick a book of our own choice from a list with many interesting suggestions.

The level of the English in the book "Animal Farm" fitted very well to my actual knowledge of English. I could read it with little difficulties and understood nearly every sentence.
Of course there where also sentences which I had to read a second or a third time to finally understand them.

I think trough reading the book I could improve my vocabulary. There were so many new words which I didn't know yet. I could understand the meaning of some of this words out of the context, other words I had to type in my transportal translator or, if I was in front of my computer, I translated them online.

Of course I didn't learn every new word by heart, but I can say for sure, I could expand my vocabulary.
Many words which only appeared once in the book I forgot, but there where also a lot of words which appeared repeatedly. These I could easily memorize (for example: labour, windmill, boar, poultry, harvest, barn etc.).

I think my English could also benefit from writing these blog entries. I'm getting more comfortable in writing longer texts on my own. In school we normally only practise grammar, for example by setting sentences in different tenses.
In these blog entries we can finally show what we've learned and can put it in practise.
I really enjoy this task, it's a welcome change.
