Extensive Reading in a foreign language asks learners to read a lot of easy, interesting books.
Easy books so they can read quickly. Why?
The need for speed Hard to explain, Easy to demonstrate
Kapag
binasa
mo
nang
dahan-dahan
ang
isang
sipi,
isang
salita
sa
isang
pagkakataon,
katulad
ng
ginagawa
mo
ngayon,
madaling
maunawaan
ang
kahulugan
ng
bawat
salita,
ngunit
napakahirap
maintindihan
ang
tunay
na
kahulugan
ng
teksto.
Apabila anda membaca kalimat ini dengan perlahan, kata demi kata, seperti yang sedang anda lakukan sekarang, akan mudah bagi kita untuk memahami maksud setiap kata, namun akan sangat sulit untuk kita pahami arti kalimat yang kita baca.
When you read a passage slowly, one word at a time, as you are doing now, it is easy to understand the meaning of each word, but it is very difficult to understand the real meaning of the text.
