How to Improve English Reading


To read English books and magazines is one of the main purposes of English learning. If you can understand the contents, you will feel happy. Many people want to improve their English through reading, so they begin to read all kinds of English hooks and magazines with high expectation. But many of them give up halfway because of some difficulties. What a pity! They lack persistence I have some suggestions to offer. First, they should pay attention to the reading materials they choose. Those materials should be not only interesting, but also not too difficult. Otherwise, it will be easy for the readers to lose heart. Second, don't consult dictionaries during reading. That will disturb you and make the reading boring. Last but not least, choose a quiet place to yourself. The environment is also crucial to reading, especially English reading. You have to concentrate your mind. Try these, and you will make progress.

To improve your English reading, you should, first of all, choose something you feel important or interesting to read. Don't try to read everything. You should begin with those written in simple English, Don't read those which prove difficult for you at the very beginning. While reading, don't ad too slowly or look up every new word you meet with.After reading a passage and having its main idea in mind ,you may turn back and read it again.. This time you read it slowly and look up some new words if necessary.Keep on reading.like this and you'll surely make progress little by little.
