作者：刘耀辉 阅读一直是我国英语爱好者最喜爱的英语学习方式，也是我们中国学生接触英语语言的最直接的途径。本期将主要谈谈阅读的益处及阅读的技巧。 Right now you are reading English. That means that you are using your brain in a very active way. Reading is a very active process. It is true that the writer does a lot of work, but the reader also has to work hard. When you read a text, you have to do some or all of these: 1. imagine a scene in your head 2. understand clearly what the writer is trying to say 3. agree or disagree with the writer Advantages Of Reading When you learn a language, listening, speaking and writing are important, but reading can also be very helpful. There are many advantages associated with reading, including: 1. Learning Vocabulary In Context You will usually encounter new words when you read. If there are too many new words for you, then the level is too high and you should read something simpler. But if there are a maximum (最大限度) of five new words per page, you will learn these words easily. You may not even need to use a dictionary because you can guess the meaning from the rest of the text (or from the context). Not only do you learn new words, but also you see them being used naturally. 2. A Model For Writing When you read, it gives you a good example of writing. Texts that you read show you structures and expressions which you can use when you write. 3. Seeing "Correctly Structured" English When people write, they usually use "correct" English with a proper grammatical structure. This is not always true when people speak. So, by reading you see and learn grammatical English naturally. 4. Working At Your Own Speed You can read as fast or as slowly as you like. You can read ten pages in 30 minutes, or spend one hour exploring just one page. It doesn't matter. The choice is yours. You cannot easily do this when speaking or listening. This is one of the big advantages of reading because different people work at different speeds. 5. Personal Interest If you choose something that you like to read , it can actually be interesting and enjoyable. For example, if you like to read about football in your own language, why not read about football in English? You will get information about football and improve your English at the same time. Five Tips For Reading Tip 1 Try to read at the right level. Read something that you can (more or less) understand. If you need to stop every three words to refer to a diction- ary, it will not be interesting for you and you will soon be discouraged. Tip 2 Make a note of new vocabulary. If there are four or five new words on a page, write them in your vocabulary book. You don't have to write them while you read. Instead, try to guess their meaning as you read, mark them with a pen, then come back when you have finished reading to refer to a dictionary and add them to your vocabulary book. Tip 3 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 a time to read and keep to it. For example, you could read for fifteen minutes before you go to bed, or after you get up, or at lunchtime. Tip 4 Be organized. Get everything ready: * something to read * a marker to highlight difficult words * a dictionary * your vocabulary book * a pen to write down the new words Tip 5 Read what interests you. Choose a magazine or a book about the subject that you like. |
