I learn a lot during this period in Lunghwa University of Science and Technology. In my English reading class, I find the correct attitude of reading should be "enjoy reading, not just try to read vocabulary", also, don't read one word by one word as it will take me too much time. The best way is to find the main idea, main story and what the story is about form picture and title at first. Next, check the first sentence and the last sentence of the text. These steps can help me to easy understand what author would like to express to reader. In addition, like above mentioned reading strategy instruction from our classmates. These right reading skills can enhance my velocity of reading. Everyone has difference aptitude for learning. Among these reading strategy instruction, "Summarizing to Gist" and "Using Visualization" are good for me as it can intensive effects to mind the new words and it’s easy to remember the matter of text. In the other hand, in my English reading class, I know that teamwork is more important and I can learn something from my team members. To sum up, reading should be accumulated over a long period, the great interests can be encouraged of reading when you gain the right reading strategy instruction. Thus, I believe that my English skill will improving in coming days.
