There are no books that help improve English reading at the university level

Wang Ruoping's bedside lamp series**, which looks very interesting and can improve reading and vocabulary, is very good.

1. Choose what you are interested in.

In most cases, the books we read are in Chinese, so we will not be used to the original English books at first. If you are someone who wants to sleep when you see English, then reading the original English book is a huge challenge for you.

The best way to improve your English reading skills is to start with interest, because when we are interested in something, we tend to stick to it for a long time.

Second, before officially starting to read the original English book, read the Chinese version once.

If you haven't read the English version of the book before, then you often can't stick to it for the first time, because there are many words you don't know and you can't translate the sentences. So at this time, it is best to read the Chinese version first and familiarize yourself with the plot and characters.

3. Look at it for the first time, don't stop.

After reading the Chinese version of the book, it is time to read the English version of the book, and when you read it for the first time, when you encounter a word or sentence you don't know, don't stop, and read it until the end. Don't be afraid of what you're missing, because I've already read the Chinese version of the book, so I already know the general content.

Fourth, read the second time to find out the meaning of the words and sentences.

After the first reading, start reading the second time. At this time, it is necessary to understand what you don't understand, including words, grammar, the meaning of sentences, and so on. If you don't understand something, stop and ask, ask people around you who are particularly good at English, search for answers, or look up the dictionary yourself, etc., and when you understand everything you don't understand in this book, it means that you have finished reading it a second time.

Fifth, the third time, "enjoy" reading, and at the same time check and fill in the gaps.

After understanding all the questions, you have to start "enjoying" reading, this time you will treat the book as a Chinese version of the book, read it at will, of course, this time it is also to check and fill in the gaps. When you are reading and you find that it is not smooth to read somewhere, you can take a picture of it and continue reading. After reading this time, let's see how many ** photos you have taken, if there are not a few of them, then don't care, delete them; If there are still many things you don't understand, please repeat the reading method a second time, and then check for the gaps.

To improve your English reading level, you should listen to and watch more English movies, watch them repeatedly, listen carefully, and know what to say before hearing without reading subtitles, then listening will come out with a sense of language, and your reading level will be much higher than others.

Birds and fish have different paths, and the mountains and rivers have never met.

When he joined the army, some of his companions ate and drank all day long and did not want to make progress, sneered at Shen Congwen's efforts, and even ridiculed him for not knowing the sky.

Shen Congwen never argued with them, just read his own books.

After becoming famous with "Border City", Shen Congwen cut off contact with them.

Some people think he's too cold, but I understand that.

The more you experience, the more you can feel, recognize different people, it is difficult to communicate, and no matter how much you explain, you will play the piano to the cow;

People who do not agree with the three views are difficult to integrate, and even if they are stiffly put together, they are not speculative for more than half a sentence.

There is no need to argue about the difference in cognition.

There is a classic "metaphor of the cave" in Plato's Republic.

Some of the prisoners grew up in the cave from a young age, with their whole bodies tied, their backs facing the cave entrance, unable to move or turn their heads, and could only face the walls.

One day, a prisoner was freed from his shackles and came out of the cave to find a world of light beneath him.

If you have different cognitions, you don't have to argue, you don't have to go along.

When he returned to the cave overjoyed and described the outside world to his companions, they not only did not believe what he said, but felt that he had become "bad".

Because the minds of their companions have been solidified, they have only seen the "cage" and think that this is the whole world.

Wonderful Sayings" debater Huang Zhizhong once said:

The perceptions, ideas, and positions that exist in each person's mind are the result of countless preferences and choices made in his past life experiences. ”

If you can't help someone break through their cognitive limitations, don't argue with them about things that are beyond their cognitive scope.

In the American drama "Friends", there is such a clip.

Rose, an archaeology professor, discovers that Phoebe doesn't believe in evolution during a dinner party with his friend Phoebe.

He was very shocked by this:

All living things on this planet have evolved from single cells over tens of millions of years.

Evolution is not for you to believe, evolution is a scientific fact, like we breathe air, like gravity ......”

However, his tirade did not convince Phoebe.

In order to convince Phoebe, he even asked for leave from school, carrying a whole box of scientific research reports and some fossils from more than 200 million years ago to confirm.

In the face of Rose's entanglement, Phoebe said impatiently

If you have time to argue with a masseuse, you might as well post a few more ** in the archaeological community that believes in evolution! ”

Rose then realizes that Phoebe only wants to believe what she wants to believe.

If you keep fighting, you can't get a reason.

Each person is in a different environment, exposed to a different world, and sees different scenery.

It's like two people climbing a mountain, and you see the sea at the top of the mountain, but when he looks up, he only sees a tree.

Communicating with people of comparable cognitive level, possibly with each other**;

And arguing with people at different levels is just pointless self-consumption.

If you have different cognitions, you don't have to argue, you don't have to go along.

The three views do not agree.

Memorize more words, read more articles, and understand more.

Practice more, listen more, read more.

Sharpen your ears first, listen to English songs, and watch English movies.

Not knowing words is the original sin, and improving your vocabulary is the shortcut.

Generally speaking, for college students with a low starting point, in order to improve their English proficiency, the first thing to do is to accumulate reading. According to the theory of language acquisition, students should accept language materials that are slightly lower than their actual English level in order to improve, and difficult language materials are not conducive to improving language skills. My suggestion is that if you have a low level of English at a low level, you can start with a shorthand book, such as a bookworm.

On the one hand, it is easy to complete the reading process and enhance the self-confidence of learning English well; On the other hand, you can also improve your literary literacy. What's more, the CET exam you take in the future (which must be inescapable) will have a fast reading question type, and a large number of reading shorthand books will train your extensive reading skills and reading speed, and you will be more comfortable when doing the test questions in the context of British and American culture.

Of course, if you have a good foundation, you can delve into British Intensive Reading, and you can also check out English Digest, a magazine with articles from major publications, full of contemporary atmosphere, supplemented by cultural backgrounds, which is very useful.

Language is nothing more than listening, speaking, reading and writing, and these four-dimensional goals complement each other, can not be neglected, to improve the level of English, we must read more, listen more and use more, so that the level of English can be greatly improved.

Hope you are satisfied!

It is definitely helpful for speaking, sense of language, and vocabulary. But when you read it, you have to have a method, don't look up the dictionary when you read it for the first time, and understand how much is how much. The second time, start taking notes, new words, phrases, and good sentences.

Don't use this method for the first time, but less and more precisely, and slowly you will be able to read a lot without relying on the dictionary.
