Extensive Reading

 

                    On 17 November 2015, I had the reading English strategies class. The teacher taught about "Extensive Reading.'' When the class started.She gave us reading the text (simply read) and did the exercises-comprehension1 and comprehension2 around 15 minutes. Then I read the text, I would look at the heading of the text first and sub-heading of the paragraph. And then I previewed the article of Simply read for speed reading. After I had already read previewing, I used scanning again for keeping reading and interpretation story.I found the most difficult about finding the main idea and difficult words. I cannot understand this story and find the main idea. It makes me spend a lot of time in the activities. I am going to solve the problems are reading it a few time and searching the words on dictionary.cambridge.org.This class, I’m a little serious but happy. Thank you for reading.
