Hello, I’m George. And today I’m going to share 4 tips with you to improve your reading comprehension skills.
大家好，我是 George。今天我将会给大家分享 4 个技巧，来提升大家的阅读能力。
It’s important to improve your reading skills, because not only will it help you to develop，your vocabulary and grammar, it will also have a positive effect on your written skills too.
阅读能力的提升很重要，因为它不仅可以丰富你的词汇量和语法，还可以提高你的写作技能。
一
Choosing reading materials
选择阅读材料
If you want to read in English, choose something that you enjoy reading in your own language, that’s not too difficult.
如果你想读英文书，选择那些母语中你喜欢的，不是特别难读懂的。
Don’t feel like you have to read something academic or clever, because you’re reading in another language, that’s already clever.
你没有必要读一些学术的或者深奥的材料。因为你能够用另外一种语言阅读，已经很棒了。
So you could read a film script,a magazine interview, a comic book or a cookery book. If you want to read a book, choose one that you’re very familiar with in your own language.
所以你可以读电影剧本、杂志访谈、漫画书、烹饪书。如果你想读书，选择一本母语中你非常熟悉的。
For example, when I was studying Korean, I decided to read Harry Potter. Because when I was a child, I was a massive Harry Potter fan, so I must have read this book maybe three or four times.
例如在我学习韩语的时候，我决定读《哈利波特》。因为我小时候超级迷恋《哈利波特》，读了大概有三四遍。
This stopped me from checking every single word that I didn’t understand. It also helped me to understand words and expressions from the context that they were in.
这样我就不用逐个查阅生词，我可以根据上下文语境理解单词和短语。
For instance, look at this sentence, and imagine you don’t know the meaning of the word scar. If you know the story of Harry Potter already, you’ll probably remember what was on Harry Potter’s forehead. Therefore you could easily guess the meaning of the word scar without looking it up in the dictionary.
例如，看这句话，假设你不知道 scar 的意思。如果你已经知道哈利波特的故事，你可能会记得哈利波特的额头是怎么回事。即使不查字典也能猜出 scar 的意思。
However, it’s important to read various genres too. So you could read some of your favourite novels. And you could read your favourite music magazine. This will help you to familiarise yourself with formal and informal English.
然而，阅读不同题材的书也很有必要。你可以读你喜欢的小说，也可以看你喜欢的音乐杂志，这样你可以精通正式和非正式英语。
二
Vocabulary
词汇
Don’t look up every single word you’re unsure of. Note down or highlight any unknown, words or expressions that appear more than once in the text. You can try to guess what they mean through their context and then, afterwards, look them up in the dictionary.
不要一遇到生词就查字典，记下或者标注出所有不认识的，反复出现的单词或短语，你可以根据上下文猜测他们的意思，然后再查字典。
You can also make some flashcards, so that these words and expressions stay fresh in your memory.
你还可以做一些识记卡，这样就可以经常回顾这些单词和短语。
三
Interact
互动
Note down any opinions you might have about the text. Don’t be afraid to write notes in the book or the magazine, unless it’s a library book, in which case you can write on some Post-it notes, and stick them on the pages.
记下你对文章所有的观点，不要忌讳在书本或者杂志上做笔记，除非是图书馆的书。这种情况下你可以写在便利贴上，再把它粘在上书本上。
四
Respond
思考
This is your chance to produce language in response to what you’ve read. You might write down your response, and give it to a teacher, or you could upload it online and receive feedback that way.
你可以表达出关于所读内容的思考，写下你的想法，把它交给老师。或者上传到网上收集别人的意见。
Alternatively, you could discuss what you’ve read with some friends or classmates, or you could even join a book club, and talk about what you’ve read there.
或者，你可以跟朋友或者同学讨论所读的内容，你甚至还可以加入读书俱乐部，在那里讨论你所读的内容。
I thought the book was good. The characters were also very good.
我认为这本书很棒，书中的人物也很棒。
Before joining one of these discussions, you could prepare by thinking, of some interesting adjectives to describe the characters and the story.
在讨论之前，你可以先准备，一些有趣形容词来描述人物和故事。
Let’s summarise what we’ve learnt today.
我们总结一下今天所学的内容：
Number one: choose something you enjoy reading in your own language.
一、 选择母语中你喜欢的材料
Number two: Don’t look up every single word.Only look up the words that frequently occur in the text.
二 、不要每个单词都查字典，只需查阅反复出现在文章中的单词。
Number three: make notes.
