If you want to become a better reader, what should you know about speed of reading?

Some people read very rapidly(很快地), while others slowly. Which one is better? The rapid reader may be a good reader when he reads a storybook for fun. But he may not be able to slow down enough to read directions carefully. He may read so rapidly that he does not take time to understand fully the ideas and information which are important. The slow reader may be a good reader when he reads directions for making something. But he may spend too much time reading a simple story which is meant to be enjoyed but not to be remembered.

So, you see, either a rapid reader or a slow reader is not really a good one. If you wish to become a better reader, here are four important things to remember .
