if you have
a list
of the important vocabulary ahead of time, it can save you
lots of time. You can preview the vocabulary and check the
meanings.
Read the title; does it give any hints
about the content? Of course, it should, and after you read
the title, write
down any questions you can think of. Writing
down questions makes you think more about the text, and helps you read
more carefully.
Sometimes, online English reading text is recorded
somewhere. It may help your reading skills to listen
to the text while
you read it;
this may help you to read faster.
After you read the text, you may summarize it
in your own words.
This makes you think about what you read. You may
realize
that you have more questions, or that you forgot something, or didn't
understand it.
Another learning technique is to draw a cartoon
of what you read. This also helps you become aware of what
you
understood and didn't understand in a different way. You can
find it helpful to re-read the text while you do this activity.
Try
this technique with a story full of idioms.
After the above steps, if you have time, try to use the new
vocabulary by making your own sentences and writing them
down. Once again, you can go back to the original text for
reference and model off the usages in the text.
Practice
your English listening with this
online English reading of a with
phrasal verbs in it. It only takes a few minutes.
While you are listening, you may try to draw a picture or cartoon strip
to illustrate the story. This helps you to understand the
story.
You also learn what areas you do not understand, so you can
study
them more.
Phrasal verbs are a bit more difficult to
understand, but if you draw
them as pictures, they become much easier. This also lets you
use
your right brain. You learn
deeper and more completely. The
pictures you draw are easier to remember than words, so it takes less
work to study.
Finally, I promised to tell you a study secret for reading.
Like all secrets, it is simple: read fast.
I know, you
want to practice. You cannot read fast. That's what
all my students tell me. Don't talk about it, don't
complain. Just do it.

Alice is a dangerous woman. In high school, people
used to make fun of her because she had
unusual spiritual ideas. They had never heard of
such nonsense. After putting up with
their jokes for years, she finally broke down.
She threatened to blow up the city hall
and burn down the school. Now she is just
drifting from town to town looking for someone who shares her unusual
ideas. She is often lonely.
