"Extensive reading continues" and "Read faster"

            Last Monday 31^st October, I studied about “Extensive reading” that continued from last week ago and started to learn about “Read faster”. The teacher talked about the  homework.Then, the teacher told us about “fluency is more important than accuracy.” Before she was corrective, she opened the Cambridge dictionary for teaching “how to pronounce” and “what is the meaning” of the words reluctant, effective, consistent, elective, and acquire.

            After that, she gave us the handout that was about “Read faster”. Before I learned this lesson, she told us to speak with my partner about “How do you improve your speaking, listening, and writing skills” and “How do you read in English”. I did the next activities that about “Hints for reading practice”. First, the teacher asked us to read the passage so fast and do not stop. Then, we answered the questions about this story.

          Then, the teacher assigned us to think and talk with my friend that was about “What are obstacles to faster reading. So, I told my friend that “I think we may be worrying the meaning of difficult words that we don’t know while we read.”

 

              I found the difficult word that I didn’t see before. So, I solve this problem by guessing the meaning from the context. I found the faster reading that was easy and good for me because of it made me used the time for reading decrease from the past.   I used skimming, scanning, and guessing the meaning for read in this less.
