helpful. When you read, you can not only learn some new words, but also you can learn how to use these
English words. When you read, it gives you a good example for writing. Good reading tips.
Try to read at the right level (水平). Read something that you can (more or less) understand. If you need to
stop every three words to use a dictionary, it is not interesting.
Try to increase the number of your new words. If there are four or five new words on a page, write them in
your notebook. But you don"t have to write them while you read. Instead, try to guess their meaning as you read:
mark them with a pen. Then come back when you have finished reading to look them up in a dictionary and
write them in your own vocabulary book. Then try to remember them.
Try to read regularly. For example, read for a short time once a day. Fifteen minutes every day is better than
two hours every Sunday. Fix (固定) a time to read and keep to it. You could read for fifteen minutes when you
go to bed, or when you get up or at lunchtime. Read what interests you. Choose a book or a magazine about a
subject that you like, because you are going to spend time and money reading it. So, choose an interesting book.

waited. Then she pushed the button on her camera. "And I got my best photo of an elephant ever, by lying
under my car," Leila explained. "I wanted to get close to the elephants, but of course this wasf dangerous; they
had their babies with them. So every morning I used to park my car in the open near the path (小道). They used

out of the wind and rain.
