Are you a great fan of Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston or David Beckham? How often do you search for the information about their career, hobby of own life? For me, you may spend a lot of time surfing the web to read everything related to your idol. Sometimes, Google provides you with some English articles about them and some of you may felt sad or confused because of being lazy in reading English. You think they have too many new words, don’t you? Hence, please calm down in that situation. Please read what I am going to tell you and you can know how to have a good skill in reading English.

The first thing you should consider is “previewing” and “predicting” technique. Looking over the article, you can easily see how long it is. This technique is called “previewing”.Similarity, when you read the title and look at some photos, you can guess its content. This is called “predicting”. For example, when you see an article named “Michael Jackson”, you may hope it will provide you with information about his famous songs, his girlfriend and his contribution to the world. I am sure this will help you read the article in a higher speedand you can also follow the writer’s idea better. At last, you will recognize a lot of time is saved and a great comprehension is gained by you.

After using “previewing” and “predicting technique”, you had better determine the purpose of your reading. Do you want to do English comprehension exercises such as multiple choices, answering the questions, do the cross words at the end of the article or tounderstand and gain a great knowledge from the article? It is very important to carry out this duty because without determining the purpose of reading, you will find it verydifficult to read with many new words.

Thus, if you are doing your comprehension exercises, it is the best for you to read all exercises to know which information you need to complete your exercises first. Then, begin reading and pay much intention in “key words”. Consequently, you cannot imagine how effectively you do your exercises.

Besides, if you are reading to capture the content of the article, you need follow these advices. As I have told you at the second paragraph, you need to have an overview. After that, read quickly and pay much intention in the main idea of each paragraph. As you know, how better our memory is, we are not able to remember all information of an article. Hence, remember to spend more time on main ideas. Take a paper and draw a planting map on it. The title is sometimes the most important topic and next is the subtopics, which can be considered to be each own topics of different passage. And each subtopicwill have controlling ideas which help explain and support the main idea more easily for reader to capture. After all, you can not only understand but remember all the most essential things of the article in a longer time.

Though it is quite uneasy to read an English article, I hope what I have just shared with you can contribute to improve your English reading skill. Do not worry too much! Try to learn in this way and I believe you can win yourself. Maybe we should not wait for that achievement any more. Hey, guys! Please pick up one English article about Michael Jackson, Ronaldo or Bill Gates immediately and read it by the ways I told you. I wish all of you happy moments!
