How do students study well English reading,here are some advice:
1 Find out the topic sentence
The main idea or the most important idea in your reading material is usually expressed by the topic sentence, and then sentence are to explain, develop or support it. The main idea, therefore ,give the aim and direction of the writing, a topic sentence is the most powerful sentence in the paragraph. To find such a sentence as you read a paragraph , you need to ask yourself, “what sentence or sentences state the biggest, most general idea about he subject under discussion in the paragraph?” when you have this sentence or these sentences, you have been found the thought that lies the details together. Because the main sentence the main idea sentence is usually the most general statement in a paragraph or an article. It is the idea expressed in the specific sentences. These sentence give the details. So it is good to know the relationship of the details to the main idea.
2 Skimming and scanning
Skimming and scanning are skills for making fast search for information.
Skimming :
Skimming is a way of reading materials quickly, in order to look for a general idea, especially when we try to decide whether careful reading would be desirable or when there is not enough time to read carefully. This skill-type reading can be used when reading newspapers, magazines, novels and the like, which can not only enlarge horizon but also bring enjoyment of language.［8］ But how can we skim? Force your eyes to move fast. Sweep across each and every line. Pick up only a few key words in each line. You and I may not pick up exactly the same words when we skim the same piece, but we'11 both get a pretty similar idea of what it's all about. As we begin to skim a passage, we should read the first paragraph at normal speed all the way through. Because the opening paragraph contains an introduction or overview of what will be talked about. Then, from the second paragraph on, we can only read as much of each paragraph as we have to in order to discover whether it contains a main idea or any important details. We skip over the parts, which are nonessential to us until we reach the ending paragraphs, which we should read more carefully because they often contain a summary. This skill of reading is widely used when one read an exposition or an essay. When one begins to practice skimming, one may find that it is not faster than normal reading. However, with a little practice one should be able to cover materials at two or four times the rate of normal reading, with comprehension that will be enough for one's purposes.
