3.Reading
Reading is an important way of gaining information in foreign language learning, It is a basic skill for a foreign language learner. The re is a lot of reading exercises in an examination today. But all these readings must be done in limited time. So students are asked to read them correctly and with a certain speed. To do this, you should change your bad reading habit and raise your reading efficiency.
New words prevent you from reading fast. One way to overcome this problem is to guess. There are many ways to guess the meaning of a new word. First you should find some hints. Context, some phrases, such as "means", "refer to", "in other words", "That is to sag"; are all the hints.
Model 1.

In this sentence, the meaning of the word "extravagant" can be easily guessed.
Model 2.

Hercules came forth and broke the bonds -but that is another of the wonderful stories of the Greeks.
In This pargraph, the words "stayed chained" is the hint , So you can guess what "bonds" means.
Model 3.
The tiny droplets that form on dust particles very small pieces of dust, to produce a cloud are far apart from each other.
In this sentence, the words after the dash shows the meaning of the word "partides" (微粒)
Besides the ways mentioned above, you can guess according to the word-formation, for example
Child-childless, Marx-Marxism
Large-enlarge, tell-foretell
Australian + satellite→ Aussate
State + run → state-run.
Sometimes you can't guess what the word means. If the word doesn't affect your reading, let it be. For example,
A German told me that all over China they use Gourmet powder in their food. It will give you higher blood pressure.
You may know that gourmet it a kind of thing that can be eat. But it doesn't matter whether you know what it is.
Another problem that affect your reading speed is you reading habit and you reading skill.
Some one reads word by word. Some one reads with his finger pointing to the words or with his head shaking. Those are all bad habits. You should read phrase by phrase. Don't blink your eyes so often and don't shake you head. Just move your eyeball. That's enough. If you want to get more word information, there must be a proper distance between your eyes and the reading material.
I think browsing is an important step while you are doing you reading comprehension.
Some students begin to read at once when he get a reading material, even without knowing, its title. But after reading for many times, he won't understand what the article says.
Looking through the material first means forereading. In an examination, you want to grain the information which the questions ask, you can't read the material in a usual way, you can't read the whole material word by word. You gad have to omit some sentence, sometimes even a whole paragraph, which have nothing to do with the questions.
