Learn English through Reading阅读学英语

Dean

Read English texts as often as you can.

This could be the news, short stories or novels, texts from your textbook or just www.pen123.com. Choose an interesting text that is not too difficult for you (otherwise it wouldn’t be fun).

Don’t look up every word which is new to you – even without a dictionary you will understand a lot. Just concentrate(集中注意）on what you do understand and try to find out the rest by intelligent（巧妙的）guessing. That works rather well, especially if you are interested in the topic. If you are a football fanatic（迷）for example, you probably won’t have problems understanding an English text about football. On the other hand, someone who is better in English than you but not interested in football will have more problems understanding the same text.

Do also watch the news in your native language and try to find English news to some of the topics（题目）. Even if you don't understand every word in the English text, you will get the message as you already know what the text is about.

yes ,the teacher had told me when you did not knew the word first u should guess the meaning then ask for the dictionary.that is a good way for learnning the new word! thanks! [s:23]

That's right. Don't look up every new word when you do reading. We can guess the meaning of the words by context. Bur for some important words that make us confused if we don't know the meaning we can look them up in the dictionary and get the exact meaning of them. In that way we can understand our reading better.
