Tips! Reading If comprehension is hindered by unknown vocabulary try guessing the meaning first before using a dictionary.
Tips! Reading Practice the skill of speed-reading: *Try using your finger as a pointer and run it along a line of text to speed up your eye movement. This will stop you becoming too focused on individual words and avoid 'skipping back' to previous words or phrases, a tendency we all have when we feel the need to confirm we understand something.
Tips! Reading *Try reading groups of words rather than individual words. *Set a very short time limit to scan paragraphs for key words. Then read the text through more slowly to see if you managed to get a general understanding the first time.
Example:
Writing p. 15, p. 28 READ: ABOUT THE EXAM, P 15 (part 1) AND P 28 (part 2) READ: WRITING REFERENCE, P 199 Tip: REMEMBER TO ADD ANY USEFUL EXPRESSIONS TO YOUR VOCABULARY LISTS AND INCLUDE INFORMATION ABOUT REGISTER.
