When you are learning English, listening, speaking and writing are important, but reading can be helpful.
When you read, you can not only learn some new words, but also learn how to use these English words. When
you read, it gives you a good example for writing.
Secrets of good reading:
Try to read at the right level. 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. But you don't have to write them while you read. Instead, try to guess their meaning as you read:
mark with them with a pen. Then come back when you have finished reading to look them up in a dictionary and
write them in your vocabulary and write them in your own vocabulary book. Then try to remember them.
Try to read regularly . For example, read for a short time once a day. Fifteen minutes every day is better than
two hours every Sunday. Fix (固定) a time to read and keep to it. For example, 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. So, choose an interesting book. You can also read newspapers. There are
many English newspapers in China. For example, 21st Century Teens, English Coaching Paper, etc. They are
easy enough for you to understand. There is something interesting in them.
