Satisfied answer reading method Bit by bit reading is a creative act of actively obtaining information, a way to cultivate students' ability to perceive written symbols and obtain information through vision, and a powerful lever to improve their listening, speaking and writing abilities, which plays a vital role in English learning. In recent years, the scores of reading (reading comprehension, cloze and error correction) account for more than half of the whole test paper. In 1999, the length of reading comprehension of English test papers in NMET is increasing, and the difficulty is also increasing. The author thinks that in order to improve English reading level, students need to do the following: 1. Top-down reading is based on the whole text, focusing on obtaining information through text symbols, that is, inferring the content and meaning of the article according to the title given by the article, and understanding the meaning that the author wants to express. The key to using top-down reading method is to cultivate students' ability to predict and infer the content and meaning of the article, so as to improve their reading comprehension. By looking at the overall structure of the article or the title of the article to predict the content and deep meaning of the article, we can speculate from the following aspects: 1. What are the contents of the article? 2. What aspects will the author elaborate on? 3. How will the content develop? Pay attention to different English styles when reading, because styles have a great influence on the organization and layout mode of information. Training and mastering the structural features of various English styles is conducive to summarizing articles and logical reasoning. For example, a narrative must have three elements: plot, characters and background. The development of the plot is mostly based on the transfer of time and place. Therefore, when reading the narrative, we must grasp the clue of time, take the characters as the center, and find out the occurrence, development and ending of the story. Another example is that argumentative essays and expository essays have a * * * similarity, that is, most paragraphs have topic sentences (which mostly appear at the beginning or end of paragraphs). We should grasp the topic sentences, explore each theme, and find out the central argument of the article, so as to predict the content of the article in more detail and thoroughly understand the surface and deep meaning of the whole article. Second, correctly handle the relationship between intensive reading and extensive reading. Intensive reading and extensive reading are two main methods in reading, which complement each other and cannot be neglected or replaced. 1. Pay attention to the choice of reading materials. Choosing suitable intensive reading materials is an important means to improve English reading. It is advisable to choose a reading material with about 2 words followed by exercises. The genre of reading materials should be diversified-narrative, popular science, discussion or explanation, advertising and so on. Pay attention to the practicality of the article. The degree of difficulty of the selected materials should be 6% ~ 7%, and the amount of new words should not exceed 4%. 2. Intensive reading and extensive reading complement each other. Compared with extensive reading, intensive reading is a point. Some well-written articles with certain difficulties should be analyzed, and the author's writing intentions, ideas and central arguments should be summarized, so as to obtain detailed information and in-depth content. If intensive reading is a point, extensive reading is a surface. Only by reading a lot can we accumulate a large number of words, structures and sentence patterns, expand our knowledge, cultivate our sense of language and improve our ability to respond to words. In extensive reading, we should improve our ability to guess new words according to the context, don't look up new words in the dictionary as soon as we see them, and find out the objects referred to by demonstrative pronouns and personal pronouns in the text. Read for yourself in a limited time. A reading article of about 2 words is moderately difficult, and try to finish its reading comprehension questions within 6 minutes. When reading, we should accumulate more knowledge of society, history, geography, culture and customs in Britain, America and other countries, which is conducive to improving reading level. We should cultivate good reading habits. When reading, you should look at the meaning group, don't read word for word, and don't read aloud while pointing with a pen or finger, which will hinder the understanding of the meaning of the article and affect the reading speed. Reading is a comprehensive process, and the improvement of reading ability is a gradual process. Only by persistently and persistently improving reading methods and cultivating reading interest can students achieve twice the result with half the effort. The factors that affect reading comprehension can be divided into intellectual obstacles and non-intellectual obstacles. Knowledge barriers include: 1. Vocabulary barriers 2. Grammar barriers 3. Background knowledge barriers. Non-intellectual obstacles include: 1. Psychological obstacles 2. Reading habits 3. Reading speed 4. Reading skills (1) Paying attention to the accumulation of English vocabulary and idioms. According to the statistical characteristics of vocabulary, American linguist Driller(1978) pointed out that if we recognize the 25 most common English words, we will recognize 33% of the words on each page on average; If you know 135 commonly used words, it is 5%; If you recognize 25, it is 78%; If you recognize 5, it is 8%; Once you remember 1,, it can reach 92%. It can be seen that the level of reading ability is inseparable from the size of vocabulary. At present, most students have a small vocabulary, which is the main factor affecting the improvement of reading ability. So how can we improve students' vocabulary? It is estimated that there are 1 million to 1.2 million English words, but most of them are formed by word formation. Word formation includes derivation, synthesis and transformation. In teaching, let students master the meaning and usage of commonly used prefixes (un/dis/im/il/super.) and suffixes (ly/less/ful/ment…), so that they can guess their derivatives from known words, thus achieving the purpose of expanding vocabulary. For example, if the prefix "super" has the meaning of exceeding and surpassing, you can guess the meanings of the words "supermarket", "supernatural", "superman" and "superstar". . 2. Associative memory method associates a word with words related or unrelated to it. For example, if you see the life of livevi, you will associate it with other parts of speech and usage, such as live broadcast, live and other meanings. 3. extensive reading mnemonics "to read well, youneedstrongocabulary ... tobuildabstrongocabulary, youneedtoreadwell." This famous saying tells the relationship between reading and vocabulary. To read fluently, you must have a rich vocabulary. A lot of reading can enrich your vocabulary. (2) Firmly mastering grammar knowledge In recent years, the sentence structure of NMET reading comprehension essays tends to be complex, and the role of grammar knowledge in reading has been highlighted. If you encounter long and difficult sentences that are difficult to understand in reading, you can make a proper analysis of the sentence with the help of grammar, and make clear the relationship between the parts, so as to accurately understand the meaning of the whole sentence. Take Decision-ThinkingIsNotunlikePoker-ItftenmattersNotonlywhatyouthink, Butalsowhatotherthinkyouthink Kandwhatyouthinktheythinkouthink. (NMET 2) as an example. The 29 words in this sentence include subject clause, object clause, compound sentence and additional explanation of dash connection. Among them, there are complex sentences in compound sentence and compound sentence in the complex sentences. Only by sorting out the components of a sentence one by one can we grasp its meaning. (3) Accumulate certain cultural background knowledge and life knowledge. Improving English reading ability requires not only certain language knowledge, but also certain cultural background knowledge and life knowledge. For example, in NMET23, Reading Comprehension A, which involves geography, introduces two Farthest/MostISTANTINHABITED Islands, one is TristandaCunha recognized by GuinnessBookofRecords; On the other hand, there are many proper nouns in the articles of EasterIsland, which will interfere with the students who have insufficient reading experience, but it will be better for those who know the background knowledge such as EasterDay. In addition, in chapter C, there are book numbers. If you are familiar with these, you will reduce a lot of reading difficulties. (4) Cultivate good reading habits and master effective reading skills. To cultivate good reading habits, it is required to read more and recite wonderful paragraphs and articles at ordinary times to cultivate a sense of language. In addition, some students read aloud, click or read back when reading, which will affect the reading speed and understanding of the article. Therefore, it is necessary to overcome these bad habits and do not read back, read silently, and click on reading. Only in this way can the reading speed be accelerated and the accuracy of understanding be improved. Besides good reading habits, we should also master correct reading skills. Teachers should guide students to form correct thinking methods. General reading should pay attention to the following points: 1. Skimming means scanning the full text quickly, grasping the main idea and topic sentences of the article, and making clear the author's attitude and intention. 2, Skipping (skipping) is to quickly find a related information, read a glance at ten lines, and pass the irrelevant content. 3, Guessingthenewwords In the process of reading, you will inevitably encounter new words. If you look up a new word in the dictionary or skip it, it will affect your understanding of the article. So we have to guess the meaning of new words. Words have different meanings in different contexts. Therefore, we should guess according to contextual clues and word formation. "Rome wasn't built in a day" to improve reading ability can't be done overnight. As long as we adhere to the correct reading methods, cultivate interest, read extensively, accumulate vocabulary, and develop good reading habits, our reading comprehension ability will be improved gradually. I hope the above experience can help you. As for introducing books, I suggest that you can learn English by watching more newspapers and TV. Of course, it is most beneficial to improve your English by communicating with others. After all, your environment is very helpful for you to improve your English. Finally, it may be helpful to introduce you to the English version of Harry Potter 6.
