The language barrier of feeling topics or articles interesting
This Saturday I made a clinic visit. There were so many visitors that I had to wait more than 30 minutes.
While waiting I read books though my Kindle at first but before long I became sleepy, so I took a nap for a while at the waiting room.
When I walk up, I had to wait a little more, so I began to read magazines on the racks of the clinic. There were several issues of the Newsweek Magazine (Japanese version).
Although I doubt that I really understand the articles on them, I found the topics of the articles were very interesting. Topics I read was about leaders of countries, a brand-new video game hardware, and writers.
When I was studying for the entrance exams to universities, I subscribed English version of Newsweek, and tried to read regularly and understand what was written.
After I entered to university, I also subscribed for the Time Magazine, but I could only read at most 20% of the articles of the issues which were delivered.
I have to admit I could hardly enjoy the subscriptions for magazines of these kinds.
At first I couldn't enjoy magazines fully because I'm not familiar with topics, but through today's experience has told me that I can enjoy articles even if I don't fully understand the topics of these articles if they are written in Japanese.
I couldn't enjoy fully the articles of magazines not only because I wasn't familiar with the topics, but because my shortage of language proficiency, which I've hate to admit since I entered university.
