39、ne. Today Im going to talk about effective reading.When a teacher or lecturer recommends a student to read a book its usually for a particular purpose. The book may contain useful information about the topic being studied or it may be invaluable for the ideas or views that it puts forward, and so on

40、. In many cases, the teacher doesnt suggest that the whole book should be read. In fact he may refer to a few pages which have a direct bearing on the matter being discussed.Unfortunately, when many students pick up a book to read, they tend to have no particular purpose in mind other than simply to

41、 “read the book“. Often they open the book and start reading, page by page, line by line, word by word: in other words, slowly and in great detail. The result is that students frequently dont have an overall view of what they are reading; also they tend to forget fairly soon what theyve been reading

42、.Students can make their reading much more effective by adopting a strategy aimed at helping them to understand and to remember what they read. Firstly, they should decide precisely why they are reading the book; perhaps its to find some information thatll answer a question; perhaps its to understan

43、d a difficult idea or argument, and so on. Then the students should decide exactly what theyre going to read: its seldom necessary to read the whole book. A good starting point is the Contents page at the front of the book; a quick look at the chapter headings may help to indicate what should be rea

44、d. The Index at the hack of the book is often extremely useful in helping to pinpoint the exact pages that need to be consulted for particular pieces of information.When it has been decided what% to be read-a chapter of a book, for example-then its helpful to get an overview of the contents before s

45、tarting to read. This can be done by reading the introduction, usually the opening paragraph, and the conclusion, usually the final paragraph. In addition, a glance at the headings of sections or sub-sections will show the order in which the items are introduced. As well as doing this, some students

46、 find it useful to skim, or read very quickly, some sections in order to get the gist, or general idea, of the contents.Finally, students should ask themselves a specific question connected with the main part of their reading. They should then endeavor to answer it by making appropriate notes as the

47、y read. This will help them to focus on the reading as well as providing a summary, which can be re-read later. This is, perhaps, the most effective element in the reading strategy.The importance of this last point can be seen from the following quotation taken from Teaching and Learning in Higher Education by Ruth Beard: One reason for poor comprehension from reading may be that students fail to make notes or to ask themselves
