How to be a better reader

Reading is an extremely important skill.1. Here are some suggestions on how to be a better reader.

Know your reading purpose.2. The kind of reading you do in class or for your homework is different from how you read a novel for pleasure in the summer vacation. If you know your reading purposes， you can choose the best reading methods.

Use all the information in the book. Good textbooks are well-organized with title subtitles， introductions， summaries or conclusions. Many books also have pictures with captions(说明文字).3. Another aspect of good writing is that each paragraph has a topic sentence. If you concentrate on understanding the topic sentence this may help you to understand what comes next.

4. You can't really expect to understand a difficult book if you are trying to read in the same room with the television on and your little brother distracting(使某人分心) you. The same goes for reading on the bus on the way to school. You can't expect to read a textbook and listen to music at the same time either. Try to find a quiet and comfortable place with good light， and your dictionaries and other materials nearby.

Use your dictionary wisely. A common mistake of ESL students is to look up each unknown word in the texts they are given to read.5.It can even make understanding more difficult because by the time you reach the end of the paragraph you have forgotten what you read at the beginning! So use your dictionary wisely.

A. Choose the right time to read.

B. Choose a right place to read.

C. Look at all these first before starting to read.

D. But it takes a long time and can be very boring.

E. The wider your vocabulary is， the easier you will find your reading.

F. Reading is also an excellent way to improve your general English.

G. the way you read a book or a text depends largely on your reasons for reading it.
