A friend says they want to read more but never manage to. What advice would you give them?

A natural way to answer

I'd suggest choosing books they genuinely find interesting rather than ones they think they should read. Reading a little every day, even for a few minutes, helps a lot. Once it becomes routine, it gets much easier to keep going.

Key phrases to use

• make it a habit — do something regularly until it becomes a natural, automatic part of your routine“Try to make it a habit to read before bed.”
• get hooked — become so interested in something that you can't stop doing it“I read the first chapter and got hooked.”
