Hi … today I would like to share something about reading. You, know reading is a very important skill. Everybody who has mastered the English language to some degree can read, the difference being the level of understanding and interpretation. However, there is always room for improvement and reading strategies can always help. Here below, have five tips that to help you read better, TRY IT…
Tip #1: Try to read at right level. Read something you can (more or less) understand.
If you need to stop every three words to look in a dictionary, it will be very
difficult and discouraging for you and you will soon get tired.
Tip #2: Try to pick up new vocabulary. If there are four or five words which are new to
you on a page, write them in your vocabulary book. However, you don’t have to
write them while you read. Instead, try to guess their meanings as you read and
mark them with a pen or pencil. After that, return to the marked words when you
have finished reading. Then, check their meanings in a dictionary and add them
to your vocabulary book.
Tip #3: Try to read regularly. For example, read for a short time every day. Fifteen minutes
per day is easier to manage than two hours every Sunday. Fix a time to read and
keep to it. For example, you could read for fifteen minutes before you go to sleep,
or when you get up in the morning , or during lunch time.
Tip #4: Be organized. Have everything ready-something to read, a marker to highlight
difficult or new words, a dictionary, your vocabulary book and a pen to write
down the new words.
Tip #5: Read something those interest you. Chose a magazine or book about a subject that
you like. This will make reading fun and something you look forward to.
