For readers, the experience is as follows: learning to make extracts from books.

We start a common notebook for extracts.

We try to make only short extracts, no more than half a page in a notebook: they are easier to look through.

Be sure to leave the margins on the left, because then, in a few years, important thoughts will come to mind (it happens to everyone) and where to put them then? To the fields!

When the book is read, we think: do we agree with the author or the hero of the book on everything? If there is a disagreement, we will write down briefly what it consists of. There are books that you accept in their entirety, but the real reader sometimes has an objection.

We have already said that accounting is the flip side of the plan. As soon as you start to take into account what you have read, there will immediately be books that you need to read. Look for them!

The next experiment is as follows: we will try to determine what interests us the most and read all the available books on this topic. Maybe military equipment? Or Pushkin's life? Or is it all about birds? Or is it all about cinema? It is very important to read many books on the same topic. After the second or third book, you will certainly find that the further you go, the more interesting it is to read.

There are guys who try to read all detective stories or all science fiction. Well, it's better than not reading at all! But you just need to become a connoisseur of such books: to be able to distinguish the best from the worst, to single out your favorite author, to understand books with knowledge. Each branch of literature has your classics. If you love science fiction, but have not read Jules Verne, Lem, Efremov or the Strugatsky brothers and do not single out their books, then what kind of connoisseur are you?

To be an expert in something is a great joy. Whoever finds a way to become a connoisseur, who is able to tell how he gradually became a connoisseur, what books he has read, will be of great benefit to all followers of the idea of teaching with enthusiasm. We are waiting for scientific reports!

And one more experience, a very subtle one. We all have friends who don't really like to read. You can set yourself the following task: to infect at least one person with a love of reading! It is difficult to say how to do this, there are no general recipes, and scientists have not yet studied this problem. So, you need to find your own ways, show your own cunning... But there will be a friend with whom you can exchange books and talk about books. Life will become much more interesting!

And now, since this is the last series of experiments and the book is coming to an end, a few very serious words.

The whole life that surrounds us tunes us to learning, makes us learn and calls us to learn. But, as always happens, there are also things that repel you from learning. For example, in the classroom there may be a general bad attitude to lessons, mocking, frivolous, and a person succumbs to this mood. He wants to be "like everyone else." Some children are repelled from learning precisely because their parents force them to study, and they, the guys, do not want to look like "pie-boys" and "pie-girls", they want to be "independent" and therefore stop learning. It happens that someone inspires us: "Why study? I didn't study, but I live well." Finally, some children do not cope with learning so much that they despair, give up trying to break away from all the "enchanted circles" of the school, and at the same time, of course, persuade themselves: "It's okay, I'll live like this."

In short, there are many influences that prevent us from learning.
