Reading
A good deal of fascinating research has been done into the reading patterns of young people, and it's surprising to discover at what an early age children start expressing preferences for particular kinds of books. A recent report, which examined in detail the reading habit of primary school children, showed that even seven-year-old boys and girls have clear views about what they want to read. Girls, in general, read more, and far more girls than boys preferred reading stories. Boys were showing a taste for the more instant appeal of picture stories, or else books about their hobbies.
These tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers. Apparently girls read more in general, but more fiction in particular. You could say that there are more opportunities for girls to read fiction: magazines encourage the fiction habit in girls in their early teens, and by their late teens, girls have probably moved on to the adult women's magazines. Teenage boys tend to buy magazines about their hobbies: sports, motorcycles, heavy transport and so on.

Cần quan tâm đến cách dùng nghĩa của những động từ khiếm khuyết này
- might: quá khứ của May, Nếu là động từ May: có thể dùng 2 nghĩa là có khả năng xảy ra việc gì, hoặc là được phép làm gì. Từ might là thì quá khứ của May, có thể dùng theo nghĩa nhu May.

- must: phải làm gì đó. Ngoài ra còn có nghĩa: hẳn là, chắc là. Dùng để phán đoán tình huống gì đó chắc sẽ xảy ra, dựa trên dữ kiện thông tin được cho trước.
- should: nên làm gì đó. Nghĩa này dùng ở thì hiện tại. Nếu ở mạng thì quá khứ, should cũng có thể dùng diễn đạt hành động đã xảy ra như cách dùng đơn giản thì quá khứ đơn.
- would: quá khứ của will, dùng nghĩa đã làm gì đó trong quá khứ, trong trường hợp các câu văn thêm tính lịch sự, giả định mà dùng ở thì hiện tại, thì có thể dùng would.
