I am easy to be swayed by a rumor. When I was in grade nine, someone told me that we need credit in fencing and curling to graduate from RIST. Because my classmate said so and because i was new to the school I believed him. When I read "the summer the sun did not blow up", which Birmati Lakhan wrote, I suggested myself from children in the novel. I think to believe is very important characteristic but sometimes it become fault.
“the summer the sun did not blow up” is wrote by Birmati Lakhan. In this story, started since small rumor spread radically among the childlen. The children discussed keenly to make idea can resolve problem index is “the sun would break”. But that rumor stopped as it arrived by the parents. The children were angered by their parents but they were swayed by a rumor again. That rumor is the sun would not commit sin. I think only one thing that childlen is happy because there are people scold as bad things.
I used three strategies. One of all, it is to try to go back and re-read when I lose my concentration. Second of all, it is to pay closer attention to what I am reading when text becomes difficult. I have a certain habit that to read slovenly if I lose my concentration. So I tied to do it when I feel text becomes difficult or losing my concentration. To re-read text is very useful technique for me. And last of all, it is to use a dictionary to help me understand what I read. There are three words I do not understand in the story. It is not only this story but also all novels to use these strategies. If I read difficult novel that I can not read smoothly over again with a dictionary, even I can understand it generally: therefore this technique is always useful for me.

In your first paragraph, I think you are suggesting that children are easily swayed by rumors. I think adults can be affected too, but not by rumors about the sun. Adults are more affected by natural disasters, since to most adults, they are more likely to happen than something happening to the sun. In India recently, many people at a mountaintop temple heard a rumor that there was a landslide so they started to go back down the mountain, only to run into people on their way up. Over a hundred people died.
In your second paragraph you mention the "sun would not commit sin." I don't understand what you mean. What do you mean the children are happy because they were scolded?
When you discuss your strategy use, please give examples. You say you go back and re-read when you lose your concentration. Tell when that happened and what passage you had to re-read.
