    Reading an English newspaper is a good way to improve a student's language ability. As there are many useful and common words in an English newspaper, it may help students increase their vocabulary（词汇量）as well as improve their reading skills. （1）他们可以从报纸上学到新的知识。 But what is theproper way to read an English newspaper? Do students need to look over all the content（内容）of the newspaper?

   The first step is to choose a right newspaper with good language. Then turn to the front page and read the headlines（标题）to know what has happened. As the most important things are put on the front page, it's easy to find out what you're interested in and then turn to the page to read it completely.（2）There is no need to go through all the articles.

    Secondly, read newspapers every day. Remember words through context（上下文）, in which these words may appear repeatedly. （3）Once they appear several times, you will remember them easily. Don't look up every unknown word in your dictionary. You can try to guess the meaning between sentences. （4）如果你的猜测错了，不要放弃。 Keep reading, and you will become familiar with the words after reading them several times in different texts.

    Reading English newspapers makes us knowledgeable.（5）It can not only help us know what is happening in the world but also improve our language.

Reading is a good habit, but the problem is that there's too much to read, and too little time to read every word of it. So ①we need to find good ways to read faster. There are hundreds of skills (技巧) to help you read more in less time. Here are two skills that I think are especially good.

Preview (预看) —if it's long and hard. This skill is especially useful for ideas of heavy reading like long magazine articles (文章) and business reports (报告).

    Here's how the preview goes.

●Read the first two paragraphs (段落) and the last two paragraphs carefully.

●Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.

    This skill doesn't give you all the details (细节, 详情). It stops you spending time on things you don't really want or need to read.

    Skim (略读)—if it's short and simple (简单的). Skimming is a good way to get ideas of light reading like popular magazines or sports and entertainment (娱乐) papers.

    Here's how to skim.

    ●Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep across each line.

    ●Pick up only a few ②key words in each line.

    Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same piece, but we'll get a similar (相似的) idea of what it's mainly about.
