Most of the asylum seekers that have come to Finland from Afghanistan are Hazaras. Hazaras are the most threatened ethnic minority in Afghanistan, and they are tyrannized by the other ethnic groups in Afghanistan. I wanted to learn more about them, so I searched for an article about them. From the University's electric library I found an e-book, which has a chapter of Hazaras. The book is called "Disappearing peoples? Indigenous Groups and Ethnic Minorities in South and Central Asia". The chapter is 16 pages long.
Reading of this text felt actually easier than what I had thought. There were of course many words that weren't familiar to me, but anyway I understood the sentences and main ideas of the text without checking the words. I think that when I'm reading English texts for example for exams, I should focus more about understanding the ideas than checking all the words. Searching the meaning of all the new words just makes the reading much slower, but doesn't change the understanding so much. I actually felt quite good in reading this way, because I could focus more about the content than the vocabulary.
