brainstorm & some prosposed questions

I suggest that we take the format something like small-scaled research. As far as I know, not sure good approach or not, the results can be analyzed both by qualitative and quantitative method.

For Andrew's proposed questions, Some questions always pop up in my mind to guess why students borrow less books , and I propose as follows:


1. How often do you borrow reading materials from the school library? Indicate your choice by putting a Ö .
( ) once a week or more frequently ( ) once every two weeks
( ) once a month ( ) less than once per month ( ) never

2. General speaking, how long do you usually spend on reading every day ?
( ) A. less than 15min. ( ) B. 15 – 30 min.
( ) C. 30 – 60 min. ( ) D. 60 – 120 min.
( ) E. more than 120 min.

3. Do you think that you have to spare more time to read ?
( ) Yes ( ) No

4. Under what circumstances, will you read less than usual / why don’t you borrow books
from the school library? ( You can choose more than one option.)
( ) A. when there is a test or an examination
( ) B. when there are much homework
( ) C. when there is a project to accomplish
( ) D. I have no interest in reading
( ) E. I think that the knowledge taught in school is sufficient
