As the most frequently used way to get access to original materials,
reading has always been considered one of the most important parts
of language learning, witch can facilitate expansion of lexical items,
enhancement of grammar, and accumulation of social and cultural awareness.

of your reading is, take a few minutes to look the piece over, and check and see
how the work is structure and presented. Secondly,try not to reach for the
dictionary when you come across the word you don't know. Instead, try to
guess the meaning of the word based on the context. Last but not least,
write a few sentences to summarize what you've read since it is a way of
checking if you have completely understood.
Above all, reading has great benefits that can help you learn the language
faster and more thoroughly. Every language learner can try the above methods
