I think there are several types of English reading classes: intensive reading, extensive reading and task-based reading. Or classified by style: narrative, explanatory and argumentative.

Implementation method:

Reading methods of expository texts

Explanatory writing is a style that objectively explains things. Compared with the narrative, the narrative is simple and straightforward, without twists and turns, and will not deliberately create suspense, nor will it use numerous expressions. The proposition angle and explanation method of explanatory text have their own characteristics. Only by being familiar with the proposition angle and mastering the interpretation method can we do a good job in reading and understanding the expository text. Explanatory text mainly has the following four types of problems:

First, guess the meaning of the word.

There are usually some newer technical terms or more names and place names in explanatory texts, which greatly increases the difficulty of reading. So if we want to guess the meaning of words, we should pay attention to the following points:

Problem solving skills: 1, go back to the original text and find out where the words appear; 2. Pay attention to the context and understand the meaning of words; 3. Help judge according to other information in the same article. Such as appositive, definition, explanation, example, synonym, antonym, punctuation (such as dash and colon all indicate explanation and explanation).

Second, the details of understanding questions

The sentence structure in the explanatory text is complex, but the test questions are relatively simple, so the detail understanding question is an important question in the explanatory text.

Problem-solving skills: Go back to the original text according to the clue words in the stem or option, find the relevant sentences, compare them with the options, and determine the answer.

Third, the theme of the topic

Test candidates' understanding and mastery of the basic ideas and contents of the article.

Problem solving skills: 1, grasp the logical structure; 2. Correctly grasp the topic sentences: note that the first paragraph, the first sentence of each paragraph and the last sentence of the full text are the places where topic sentences often appear; 3. Summarize the main idea of this paragraph.

Fourth, reasoning and judgment questions

There are several types of reasoning questions, namely knowledge reasoning, numerical reasoning and logical reasoning. This paper mainly examines the ability of candidates to sort out the logical relationship between the upper and lower levels, make relevant judgments, inferences and extensions, and understand the author's intentions, opinions or attitudes.

Problem-solving skills: first eliminate the most impossible answer in the options, and then pay attention to the principle of proximity when reasoning. Reasoning must be based on the content of the article, and it must not be divorced from the original text and assumed out of thin air.

Reading methods of narrative texts

Narrative is an article form that describes the process of events in a certain time sequence. There are many kinds of narratives, such as stories, biographies, introduction of historical and geographical knowledge, news reports and so on. For the first three, we should pay attention to the main characters, time, place, main plot, final outcome, the author's writing intention and the significance of the article. In news reporting, we should be clear about the time, place and people.

Narrative questions commonly include detail understanding, theme, reasoning and judgment, word meaning guessing and so on.

Reading methods of argumentative essays

The propositional methods of argumentative papers are mostly argumentative questions, detailed understanding questions, reasoning and judgment questions, etc. When doing reasoning questions, you should pay attention to: if the topic requires you to reason, the facts clearly stated in the essay cannot be used as the answer, and the answer must be a conclusion that is not directly mentioned in the essay, but can be reached by logical reasoning according to the content of the essay.

In short, it is the key to do a good job in reading and understanding argumentative essays and grasp the structure of the articles. When solving problems, we should grasp the author's point of view and clearly explain the arguments of the argument. One problem that needs special attention is that when you ask the author's opinions, opinions and attitudes, don't mistake it for asking your thoughts, and don't take your own opinions as the author's.
