Thung, I think you should say: 'I READ ALL KIND OF THINGS'. I would actually formulate the idea this way: I read many different things...
2. I read mostly for my job, but some of the books I read are related to my studying. Sometimes I simply read a book of my choice to relax my mind.
3. I believe you better name the book you read. For example: I remember that when I was little I was fascinated by the story of Alice in Wonderland, written by Lewis Carroll. I even forgot how many times I've read it.
4. Reading helps them to broaden their horizons.

Could someone help me please??? Yesterday was my listening, and i don't remember topic in part 2. I just remember that there was a word "read". I was nervous and just looked at card gor few second and started to make tips on paper about magazine and answered about my favourite magazine, too. And now I don't know what to do:( It is my last chance to pass IELTS for masters program. Could you please give me some advice? Is it not bad if question was about book, and i described magazine...

"I read all kinds of things" was correct Liliana. "I read many different things" is fine too, but it isn't better than the other phrase. In fact, "all kinds of things" is a phrase that native speakers use a lot.

Simon,
I read all sorts of posts that you wrote in this website everyday. However, some are repeated again and again. It would be helpful to all students if you use a wide variety of topics without repetition.
Thanks!

1:Definitely ,I really love reading and I usually read lots of sports news wherever they are for instance newspaper,magazine,online and so on.
2:well as a student I have to read more materials which are related to subjects in university,but sometimes I read for leisure too.
3:Actually,when I was a child I really hate reading,but My parents made me to read and many lovely books were bought by them for me,as well as the mere book that loved was the THE SENILE FORMER WITH HIS WIFE that was written by Abdullah Jaihon.
4:Absolutely reading the key the open all education's door for all,but for kids reading should be a part of their life. However it would be a mistake to make it
compulsory.

1. To be honest, i'm not really fascinated by reading. I usually watch videos or listen to audio books but sometimes I also read books, newspapers or magazines.
2. Actually, reading's not my favourate so i read book for my studies at school or when there are stories that I really concern about
3. Uhm, let me see... You know, the first novel I read was "Ps. I love you" and that's also the most memorable story i've read. That was about the beautiful and emotional love.
4. Of course, reading is the key to open the doors of all aspects of education so that should be promoted in children
