    or are translations just as good as the original?
    the tabloids. I spend a lot / most of my time
    on the internet. I’d rather see a movie / watch I think… if you can read a book in its original version
    television / listen to music. it’s better than a translation / translated books
    are just as good as the original versions. There are

    I prefer / really like… novels / short stories / The translators must be fluent in both languages. Of
    biographies / true crime stories. My favourite genre course some things will change a little but I think
    is… science fiction / dramas / thrillers / horror the main ideas are the same.
    stories. I am a romantic person so my favourite books
    zzWhat are the important elements in a story?
    are… love stories / romance novels / poetry. I prefer…
    The plot / storyline is the most important thing for
    fiction / fantasy stories because… I can use my
    a good story. The setting is where the story takes
    imagination / escape to another time / place.
    place. I like stories that are set in… the past /
    zzWho are your favourite writers? Which writers the present day / the future / fantasy worlds.

    My favourite writer is… because I really like his / are the most interesting. The characters are very

    that some of the most popular writers today are are bad / unlikable / unbelievable it can ruin a good
    J. K. Rowling / Stephen King / Dan Brown. I don’t book. The protagonist is the hero / main character.
    read a lot of contemporary / modern day writers; The antagonist is usually the bad guy. Pacing /
    I prefer the classics. The speed of a story is also important and I really
    love a book that I can’t put down.
    zzApart from books what else do you read?

    zzDo you like to read poetry? they are cheaper / you don’t have to carry around
    I love / hate reading poetry. Whenever I read poetry a heavy book / they are not a waste of paper.
    I feel… sad / nostalgic / happy. Poetry is hard /
    easy to understand. With poetry you have to think zzDo you think electronic media and technology
    about the meaning. Most poetry is… romantic / will replace printed books in the future?
    depressing / bad. I like it when poems rhyme I think / don’t think all books will be in electronic
    because I like the way the words sound. Poems are… formats in the future because… we need / don’t
    easy / difficult to write. I don’t like Japanese haiku need hard copies of books anymore. Electronic books
