Today, we are going to talk about how to read faster when you are doing reading comprehension. Actually the only way to read faster is to read faster. This may sound like a double talk, b

18、ut it is a serious suggestion. The fact is that most people can read faster simply by making a conscious effort to do so. The following are some guidelines from the “Just Do It“ school on speed reading. First, get your body ready. Get off the couch. Sit at a desk or a table and sit up, on the edge o

19、f your chair, with your feet flat on the floor. When you feel your body ready to start the reading, breathe in and out deeply for several times. Next, set a time limit. Use a clock or a digital watch with a built-in stopwatch to time yourself. The objective is not to set speed records, so be realist

20、ic. The idea is to give yourself a gentle push, increasing your reading speed without sacrificing comprehension. Another hint from the “Just Do It“ school is to relax. Relaxation promotes concentration. But remember, relaxation is not the same thing as sleep. So focus on the reading material and rel

Obviously, youre more likely to read faster if you don

24、t read aloud or move your lips. To stop doing it, just be aware of it. And also you may practice reading faster with simpler materials at first. That way you can pay closer attention. A cautionary note about these techniques is that speed isnt everything. Skillful readers vary their reading rate acc

25、ording to their purpose and the nature of the material. You can also use different reading rates on the same materials. That is the method we should use in everyday English learning. When you comprehend the passage in our textbook, you may skim the passage to get the main idea and key words. Then pa

26、y attention to the questions that follow, and focus on the answers where they appear in the passage. Also you should pay attention to the difficult part of the passage.
