Question

When you are learning English, listening, speaking and writing are important, but reading can also be very helpful. Here are some good reading tips.

1.                   Read something that you can understand. If you need to stop every three words to use a dictionary, it is not interesting.

Try to increase the number of your new words. If there are four or five new words on a page, write them in your notebook. 2.                   Instead, try to guess their meaning as you read: mark them with a pen. Then come back when you have finished reading to look them up in a dictionary and write them in your own vocabulary book. Then try to remember them.

Try to read regularly (定期地). 3.                  Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday. Fix a time to read and keep to it. You could read for fifteen minutes when you go to bed, or when you get up or at lunchtime.

Read what interests you. Choose a book or a magazine about a subject that you like, because you are going to spend time and money reading it. 4.                   You can also read newspapers. There are many English newspapers in China. It is easy enough to understand and also there is something interesting in it.

A. So, choose an interesting book. B. Try to read at the right level. C. For example, read for a short time once a day. D. But you don’t have to write them while you read. E. You should read as much as you can.
