Moreover, almost half of the respondents admitted that they read less than two English texts within the month. Then, the students also admitted that they rarely visited the library. Finally, most books that the students read were fiction books rather than nonfiction books. The researcher found that the students mainly read English text due to academic reason. The students might read English text because they wanted to pass a certain subject or did their assignment.
