When a student enters high school, he may believe that he is good at reading. No matter how  1  he is, he still needs to become better. How do you read a passage in a textbook? Do you have a certain  2  of doing it or do you just  3  to read and keep reading until you come to the end?

   Some students say that they use the “slow and sure” method. In this way they read every sentence slowly and  4 . Every time they meet a（n）  5  word, they stop to think what it means and, if necessary, look it  6  in a dictionary. If a person has used all his time to get the   7  of each word to be sure that he  8  everything, he probably has no time left for reviewing what he has read.

   Other students use what has been  9  the review method. Here a person tries to plan his time so that he can read his passage  10  twice. This type of reading is faster than the “slow and sure” method, for the passage can be read quickly or there will not be enough time left for a second reading.

Which method do you think is better?

In learning English, one should first pay attention to listening and speaking.It is the groundwork(基础)of reading and writing.You’d better try your best to speak while you do much listening.Don’t be afraid of making mistakes.But be careful not to let them stop you from improving your English.While you are doing this, a good way is to write---keep a diary, write notes or letters, and then if you can, ask someone else to go through(检查)what you have written and tell you what is wrong.Many mistakes in your speaking will be easily found when you write.Through correcting the mistakes, you can do better in learning English.

If you are slow in speaking, don’t worry.One of the helpful ways is reading, either aloud or to yourself.The important thing is to choose something interesting to read.It mustn’t be too difficult for you.When you are reading in this way, don’t stop to look up the words if you can guess their meanings, or they have nothing important to do with the sentence.You can look them up later.
