Here are some suggestions.Understand the purpose of your reading. The way you read depends on the purpose of your reading. The kind of reading you do in class or for your homework is different from how you read a novel for pleasure in the summer holidays. Find background information. Find something out about the topic you are going to read.The more background information you have, the easier itll be to understand the text.Increase your vocabulary（词汇）. The more vocabulary you have, the easier your reading will be. Use your dictionary correctly. A common mistake is to read everything very slowly and carefully, looking up each unknown word. Sometimes this is necessary, for example, when reading exam questions. However, it takes a long time and can be very boring; it can even make understanding more difficult!If youve followed the above advice and still cant understand a text, then its simply too hard for you. Stop reading and ask someone to help you. 没有人想要放弃。However, youll just be wasting your time if you continue to work at a text thats beyond you.（1）阅读也是一种提高你的英语的好方法。（2）The way you read depends on the purpose of your reading.（3）he more vocabulary you have, the easier your reading will be.（4）A common mistake is to read everything very slowly and carefully,（5）没有人想要放弃。四、 写作部分 (共4题；共20分)16. （5分）词汇，根据中文和首字母提示写词。（1）Nanjing is the c_ of Jiangsu.（2）I live in a w_ house with my family.（3）Our Chinese people are very f_ .（4）Marry is a police.
