How to improve your reading skill |
Reading is a lifetime thing. Whenever you have some time, it’s good to take out a book and read it. It serves as a wonderful chance to open your eyes. Like any skill, reading takes practice. The following tips may work out. Look for a good place to read. It will be easier to read and study if you are comfortable. Make sure that there is good lighting in your reading area and you are sitting in a comfortable chair. And try to read in a quiet place where you won’t be interrupted(打断). Make predictions(预测) before and as reading. Use the titles, subtitles(副标题), pictures and so on to ask yourself questions about what you are going to read. Find answers to the questions when you are reading. After reading, think about what you have learned and decide what you need to read next. Avoid translation. Translation slows down your reading. Instead of translating new words into your first language, try to guess the meaning first. Use the other words around the new word to help you guess the meaning. Don’t worry about understanding every word. Sometimes readers think they must understand everything that they read. In fact, you needn’t do it. Instead of stopping your reading because of the new words, circle them and come back to them after you have finished reading. |
