I am not a teacher.
"Three Men In A Boat" you asked me not to read that novel because it was written in 1889. I stopped reading it. I am not following it as I used to do earlier. When you asked me not to read it I stopped. But I read it casually to know about the story. It is something that can be used in day to day life "was of the view" so I asked you about it.
