[00:16.61]1 What are the three methods of reading which are described?
[00:22.96]2 What is the most important piece of advice in the text?
[00:29.52]ON READING
[00:32.39]On the subject of reading,Francis Bacon,
[00:37.07]who lived at about the same time as Shakespeare,
[00:41.72]wrote these words,"Some books are to be tasted,others to be swallowed,
[00:50.08]and some few to be chewed and digested."
[00:55.43]This good advice shows how it is possible to read different types of books
[01:01.99]in different ways.For example,
[01:06.95]you might pick up a travel book an dread a few pages before going to sleep.
[01:13.12]It is enough to dip into it and read bits here and there.
[01:18.58]In a word,this is"tasting".Some stories are for"swallowing".
[01:25.34]Imagine that you have found a good story,
[01:29.57]and,what is even more important,the time to enjoy it.
[01:35.74]You might be on holiday,or on a long train journey.
[01:40.70]If it is a good book,you might say,"It's so good I can't put it down."
[01:47.78]But not all stories belong to this class.
[01:52.22]Reviewers sometimes describe books as"hard-to-put-down",
[01:58.57]or"hard-to-pick-up-again".
[02:02.93]Other books are for reading slowly and carefully.
[02:07.37]If it is a book on a subject that you are interested in,
[02:12.05]you will want to"chew and digest it".That does not mean reading it too slowly.
[02:19.70]When you pick up a book for the first time,check that it is not too difficult.
[02:26.34]Do not start a book unless you can see from the first few pages
[02:31.98]that it is one you can easily read and understand.
[02:36.73]Next,if it is not a story,get an idea of the organization of the book.
[02:43.79]Read the back cover and the introduction.
[02:48.23]Look at the pictures and the short texts below them.
[02:53.58]Turn to the front of the book and look at the contents.
[02:58.13]This way you can decide whether the book is likely to interest you,
[03:03.30]and if so,
[03:06.15]then you can decide which parts of the book will be most useful and interesting.
[03:12.34]Here are some more reading tips.
[03:16.10]First,read a chapter quickly to get a general idea.
[03:21.35]Then,if you wish,you can read it once again more slowly,
[03:26.79]using a dictionary when necessary.
[03:30.55]Second,do not stop every time you come to a word or phrase you do not know.
[03:37.50]Quite often you will find the unknown word appears again,perhaps several times,
[03:44.65]and by the end of the chapter you will have guessed its meaning.
[03:49.41]That is how we learn the meaning of words in our own language.
[03:54.37]Imagine that you come across this sentence in a book:"
[03:59.05]The house was beginning to get cold,so Daisy pulled her red,
[04:05.11]woolen cardigan out of her bag and put it on."
[04:10.75]If you do not know the word "cardigan",
[04:14.51]you can gress from the situation that it may be made of wool,
[04:19.37]and is put on to keep warm,and is therefore likely to be an article of clothing.
[04:26.00]The last question is what to read.
[04:30.37]Start by making a list of all the types of books that you enjoy reading in Chinese.
[04:37.03]If you hate science stories,you are unlikely to enjoy reading them in English.
[04:44.16]But if you enjoy reading short storiesin Chinese,
[04:48.71]look for collections of English ones.
[04:52.86]Are there any hobbies or sports you particularly like?
[04:58.21]If so,look out for books,articles or magazines about them.
[05:04.38]You can enlarge your knowledge and learn some English at the same time.
[05:10.44]Finally,and above all,enjoy your reading!
