How to become a better reader 

     If you wish to become a better reader,here are four important points to remember about the speed of reading:

     ·Knowing why you are reading—what you are reading to find out —will often help you to know whether to read quickly or slowly.

     ·Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions (指导) for making or doing something,solving maths problems. And science and history books,which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important idea.

     ·Some things should be read quickly throughout. Examples are simple stories for enjoyment,letters from friends and news from local newspapers,which tell what was happening to friends and neighbours.

     ·In some of your reading,you must change your speed from fast to slow or from slow to fast as you go along. You need to read certain pages quickly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas which must be remembered.
