Have you ever noticed this phenomenon? Sometimes Chinese English teachers are puzzled by such questions, "Could you please give me some advice how to improve my reading comprehension?"
Actually, many of the teachers can't give their students effective way to deal with reading. Anyway, they often simply say, "Read and practise more, and you will get more experience in reading comprehension. " Frankly, these teachers' good suggestions are only helpful to arouse (激起) students' interest in reading not helpful to deal with the questions in the examinations of reading comprehension. Personally, think the skill for reading comprehension should be based on the knowledge of English writing. the English passages are written under some rules or principles, the science of reading and understanding may have a close relationship with writing. Reading comprehension can't be independent the knowledge of
writing. So to do better in reading comprehension ever, we should learn the knowledge of writing, study how questions are designed and the relationship between questions and the reading materials.

To be determined about something takes a lot of courage. It’s very easy to give up and everyone can do it. To continuously keep at it, putting in the same efforts all the time, takes courage. Be determined to lose weight. Tell yourself you have to do it.
