20、alk about reading skills and strategies. Reading is a great habit that can truly change our life forever. Reading purely for leisure is fun, but there exist certain reading skills and strategies, which if mastered at an early stage can help us be better and comprehensive readers. The first reading s
21、trategy were going to talk about is speed reading. The aim of speed-reading is basically 1to increase the reading speed without influencing the understanding of what youre reading. Some of the strategies used in speed reading include: 2identifying words without focusing on each letter, 3not sounding
22、 out all words, spending less time on some phrases than others, and 4skimming through small sections. Next strategy is active reading. There are times when you just cannot afford to skim through or scan through the text but need to 5get an in-depth understanding of what youre reading and hence you n
23、eed to make sure youre actively involved. There are four important points that you need to keep in mind during active reading.

Second, 7jot down the headings as you read the detail, using one or two keywords for each point Third, before you start reading, write down all the questions you want to answer. This helps you to read accordingly and ensures
25、that you get the answers to all your questions and dont get distracted while reading. Fourth, after youve read one complete section of the text, summarize that portion in your own words. Later, go through the text again to check how accurate your summary was and modify or upgrade it in case youve le

They are Survey, Question, Read, Recite, and Review. This method facilitates a very deep understanding of the matter that is being read.
27、The first step, Survey, involves getting a quick idea of what the whole writing piece is about. The second step, Question, means to create questions in your mind and look for the answers while you are reading the text. 8The third step is to read selectively if you are looking for specifics. Learn to
28、 find out the portions of the text that are important to you and move over. 9The fourth step is Recite, which means to try and answer the questions raised in the second step in your own words. 10The last step is to review or summarize the entire text in your mind. OK, today weve talked about three r
