BOOK TWO Unit 1
Part I Writing
How to Improve Your Reading Comprehension
To improve your reading comprehension, you should read extensively and constantly. In addition, you should master some reading skills. Now, let me develop these two points:
Reading extensively and constantly requires you to make full use of your time to read a large number of books. In fact, you should read some newspapers, magazines and novels besides your books in your spare time: after class, during vacations, on a journey, etc. It will help you to enlarge your vocabulary, to strengthen your language sense, to understand the grammatical rules better and to acquire a great deal of knowledge. In the long run, it will improve your reading comprehension.
In addition, mastering some reading skills are also necessary, such as scanning, skimming, recognizing signal words, understanding figurative language, using context clues and word part clues, grasping topic sentences, and so on. Skillful reading will make you get twice the result with half the effort.
