What is the difference between general book and reference book? * The distinction between a book and a reference book can be confusing. Some books that you might "reference" are still considered "books" for the purposes of citation. For example, the MLA Handbook, APA Publication Manual, and other writing style books would be treated as "books" in your bibliography.
Reference books are used to find factual information on a subject, and are not usually read all the way through or chapter by chapter. In a K-12 library, reference books are usually located in a special reference collection area, and cannot be checked out. Reference books include dictionaries, encyclopedias, thesauri, almanacs, atlases, and directories.
When do you need to search information from the reference collection?
*When I want to know about meaning, spelling, pronounciation of words.
What type of reference collection that you like to use most? And why?
The type of reference that I like to use most is Dictionary because dictionary is containing information about words, meanings, derivations, spelling, pronounciation, syllabication and usage. And all of those are helpfull to learn English.

Topic:Choose a Topic You Really Want to Think About
If you're free to choose your own topic, pick on in which you are genuinely interested and about which you want to know more. You have to know something about any topic you write on, but writing is not just an act of transmitting information. It should also be an act of learning.
If you're free to choose any topic at all, you might well try to find something from your own experience, something that will let you explore yourself, perhaps something that you have never fully described or analyzed to anyone, even to yourself. The richest moment of our experience are often born out of conflict. Suppose you recall a time when you were made or asked to do something you did not want to do. When and where did it happen? How did you feel about having to act against your will? How did you feel about the person who asked you to do so? What did you learn from the episode?
Raising questions will help you to think more about any subject. If you know something about ceramics, say, or kayaking, you might ask a specific question about that. What make kayaking so different form rowing a boat or paddling a canoe? Does centering a clay pot on a wheel have anything to do with finding the center of your own existence? It's alwanys an advantage to write about what you know. But if you start writing on the assumption that you know it all, you drain the life out of the writing process.
