English Reading Strategies Week12

Books and Novels [Continue] and Read faster!

Today, I continued studying text '' books and novels’’. Last week, our teacher asked us to read and conclude this text. She asked some volunteers to write answers that she assigned us last week on the whiteboard. Then, the teacher checked and corrected answers. There are some mistakes about paraphrase. She gave some advices about how to conclude and paraphrase. She read texts carefully and paraphrase for us. Moreover, she gave us more vocabularies with which someone is not unfamiliar.

After that, teacher introduced to new lesson. We started the new lesson that was “Read faster!” Then, we did exercises about the text such as asking the questions with partner. 

 1. How do you read in English?

 2. What are obstacles to faster reading?

After that, she let us made spider web of obstacles to faster reading on the whiteboard.

Besides, I practiced speed reading on my own and tried to follow advice.  I used my scanning and skimming skills to read the content. 

My attitude in this week. I though this lesson was harder and harder so I had to try hard to accomplish. However, I will train and revise it continually.
