Unemployed: Day 2
As I started Extensive reading last week, I would like to share a web site for parson who are studying English. It is “engoo”.
This site has various English study tools, especially I recommend Daily News. This content gives us sort of kind articles, and we can select the English difficulties of articles (eg. level 5 ~ level 10). So we can study English deal with our English skill. Additionally, the article involves vocabulary check and it’s example text. So that we also increase our vocabulary.
By the way, I set its level from 5 to 7, so the new articles are published 3 or 4 in a day. As one article includes about 300 words, I can read about 1,000 words in a day as extensive reading.

Correct Version
Since I started extensive reading last week, I’d like to share a useful website for people who are learning English. It’s called Engoo.
This site offers a variety of English study tools, and I particularly recommend the Daily News section. It provides a wide range of articles, and you can choose the difficulty level of each one (e.g. Level 5 to Level 10), so you can study English according to your ability. Each article also includes a vocabulary check and example sentences, which helps you expand your vocabulary.
For reference, I usually set the level between 5 and 7. At these levels, around three or four new articles are published daily. Since each article contains roughly 300 words, I can read about 1,000 words a day through extensive reading.
