1. How to choose reading materials?
The most important thing in extensive reading is the pleasure of reading, so choose the subject you are interested in.
I especially like reading stories, so I often read English story novels.
I especially like stories that are novel, magical and adventurous.
2. How to master the difficulty of reading materials?
Remember the principle of 15%, that is, the number of new words accounts for 15% of the total content.
This difficulty will not make you too difficult to read, nor will it be so simple as to lose interest.
Therefore, we might as well give the children around 10 a try of chapter novels.
Recently, I found some particularly interesting children's books in the bookstore, all of which are illustrated. Will people want to buy it at first sight? Ha ha.
And the font size and spacing are also very comfortable. I'm used to reading many papers, and it's pleasing to see this again.
3. Extensive reading is not just watching the fun.
Remember, the purpose of extensive reading is also to improve your reading ability, so you still have to do the necessary homework.
My method is to read first and then write:
First of all, we should describe the outline of the story, so that we can exercise our ability of generalization and summary.
Then talk about our own views on the story, which not only exercises our English thinking ability, but also exercises our writing ability.
You should know that expressing your opinions is an aspect that all kinds of English writing will involve.
Keep practicing according to this step, and you will definitely see the effect.
No accumulation, no miles!
