How do you finish a book over the weekend?
This is one I have down to an art. It all has to do with planning ahead. Make sure you have all your chores done Friday night. Make sure you have tea, juice, snacks and so on available ahead of time. Pick a quite room with a bed or a couch. You will need a lamp for when it starts to get darker. Put aside several pillows and a quilt so you can move around and not get stiff in one position too long. If you are reading for school or if you are going to be jumping onto a forum to talk about it, make sure you have a notepad and a pencil so you can take notes as you go. Then all you need to do is open up your book and get absorbed!
I've never heard of primary vs. secondary sources ofreading, but I can provide an answer on primary vs. secondary sources of data.
A secondary source of data is data that was collected for a reason other than the task at hand. A good example is US Census data. Marketers might use census data as input into decisions. An example of application of this data is as follows. Suppose you want to distribute your product in the 5 most populated cities in the US. You could find this info from census data, and go about distributing your product in those 5 cities.
A primary source of data is data that is collected specifically for the task at hand, often via a market research study. For example, if you wanted to know what features of your product are most valued to buyers, you would design a market research study (i.e. questionnaire) to find that out. At the end of your study, you'd have the data to answer your question.

Is trainings an acceptable plural of training?
There is not really a way to make the word 'training' plural. It is in present tense, so you would say, "She is training." It might be that it needs to be worded differently, into "She trains" or "She trained." When writing a sentencing, you wouldn't say something like, "She does trainings." You should say something like "She trains a lot" or maybe "She does a lot of training."
Hope this helps!
