How To Read Better?

1. When you find a new word

• Guess the meaning of new words from the context without using a dictionary whenever possible. You can guess intelligently the meaning of the word or phrase by referring to the context from which the word or phrase is formed.
• If the word is essential and you can't understand a paragraph without it, use a monolingual dictionary.

2. Marking the passage

• As you read, highlight the main ideas with one colour, major details with another colour and important vocabulary with a third colour.

3. Keeping a word journal

• A good way to study, review and remember new words and idioms is to keep a Word Journal. Use it to record words that are important for you to remember.
• Spend 10 - 20 minutes each day on this. ( hardest part ever -.- )
