 INTRO
In decades, several cutting-edge technologies have been developed for the reading purpose.

Therefore, student can access on the enormous information quicker and more effectively

compared to the previous generation. Reading habits should be encouraged from the early age

in various types and techniques to which would improve the critical thinking and literacy

skills.

Although a great deal of researches has been done to date, more studies need to be done on

university students living in Vietnam, especially in Ho Chi Minh city. This research was

implemented to investigate the location and students read and acquire reading materials.
METHODOLOGY
Research was conducted on 7th September. The sample size was over 50 students enrolled in a

reading habits survey at Ho Chi Minh city. The sample was randomly selected gender and age

representation. More than 70% in the number of participants was Vietnamese and the rest was

other countries.

The graph above illustrates some of the main characteristics in four different locations where

50 subjects chose to read.

It can be seen from the chart that the most place preferred is at home with more than 70% of

the total sample size. While library seems to be the most related to educational environment,

there are just virtually 41% participants using this place for reading.

There is a large gap between the percentage of students reading at home and that at others

locations such as workplace, parks ... with 70.9% and 16.2%, respectively. Comparing to the

proportion of readers choosing library, that of coffee shop is only less than 4.2% which is

over one-third of all samples.
