Topic Talk & Lesson 1 Active Learning
导语:你在学校里或者工作中能否取得成功受很多因素制约,其中阅读能力是非常重要的因素。那么如何提高阅读能力呢 下面的文章将为你支招!
What is most likely to affect your success at school or at a job The ability to read.The declining1 literacy2 of our society has been a main concern of educators for a while now,and yet things are not getting better.
Here are some strategies3 for reading improvement.
Read about things that interest you.If you are interested in what you are reading about,the words will come alive,and you will also understand better.The more you read,the better you will become at reading.Just get started and it will become a habit,as long as you are interested in what you are reading.
Read material that is at your level or just a little difficult for you.Read material that you find easy to read,or just a little challenging.Looking up many unknown words in a dictionary is dull,and the results of the dictionary search are quickly forgotten.
Listen first if you have trouble reading.If you can hear the new words and phrases that you are reading,you will have an easier time understanding and remembering them.
Don’t worry about what you don’t understand.Most of your reading should be for pleasure.You can still enjoy reading without understanding all of what you read.
Unfortunately,not all reading is just for pleasure.When you are reading a textbook or report or other material for school,you may need to underline4,take notes and read some parts over again.However,if you have developed the habit of reading for pleasure,you will find that the skills you need will come naturally5,and that you will understand a lot better than before.
译文:
什么最可能影响你在学业上或工作上的成功呢 是阅读能力。一段时间以来,我们社会读写能力的下降已经成为教育者们担心的主要问题,但是情况并没有好转。
这里是一些提高阅读能力的策略。
阅读让你感兴趣的东西。如果你对阅读的内容感兴趣,这些文字便会充满活力,你也会理解得更好。你阅读得越多,你的阅读能力就会变得越好。开始阅读吧,它会成为一种习惯,只要你对阅读的内容感兴趣。
阅读适合你水平的或者稍微难一点的材料。阅读你觉得简单的或者稍微有点挑战性的材料。在词典中查阅很多不认识的单词是乏味的,而且查词典的结果会很快被忘记。
如果你阅读有困难,那就先听。如果你能听到你将要阅读的新词或者短语,你就会更轻松地理解并记住它们。
不要为你不理解的东西担心。你的大部分阅读应该是为了快乐。不理解你所阅读的所有内容,你照样可以享受阅读。
不幸的是,不是所有的阅读都只是为了快乐。当你读课本、报告或者别的学习材料时,你或许需要标画重点,记笔记,并且反复阅读一些部分。然而,如果你已养成为快乐而阅读的习惯,你就会发现你需要的技能自然而然就来了,而且你将会比以前理解得更好。
