Oxford Online English, How to Improve Your English Reading Skills - 4 Steps to Improve Now!

How to Improve Your English Reading Skills - 4 Steps to Improve Now!

Hi, I'm Stephanie.

Welcome to Oxford Online English!

In this lesson, you can learn how to improve your reading skills in English.

We'll show you the number one mistake English learners make when they try to practice their

reading in English, and how to avoid it.

You'll see a step-by-step plan that you can use to improve your English reading skills,

and we'll give you several suggestions to improve your English reading level more quickly

and efficiently.

You heard just now that there's one big mistake that many English learners make when

trying to practice reading.

So, what is it, and how can you avoid it?

Here's a situation.

Think about whether you've been here before.

You start reading something in English.

You can't understand a lot of it, and there are many unknown words.

You start looking up every word you don't know in a dictionary.

Thirty minutes later, you're either asleep, or you've read about two paragraphs.

Of course, this makes you feel bad, and you start feeling that you can't read in English,

that it's too difficult, and so on.

But, this isn't true!

You can read in English and you can improve, whatever your English level now.

What's the key?

You need to select materials at the right level.

Often, people try to read the same things they would read in their native language.

But, if your English level is intermediate, like many of the learners we meet, then you

need to accept that you can't read all the same things in English that you would read

in your own language.

If you try, you'll probably feel frustrated, and maybe give up.

So, it's essential to select reading materials that are the right level for your English

abilities now.

But, how can you do that?

Here are some tests you can use:

One: can you understand the general meaning of the text without using a dictionary?

Two: can you understand the general meaning of most sentences without using a dictionary?

Three: can you read the text at a reasonable speed?

This is subjective, but it shouldn't take an hour to read a few paragraphs.

If you can't answer ‘yes' to these questions, then the text is probably too hard.

Of course, you don't want it to be too easy, either!

If you can understand everything first time, it's probably too easy.

There should be some words and ideas which aren't easy to understand.

You're probably thinking: so where can I find suitable reading materials?

That's a hard question to answer, because this depends on your level, your study goals,

and your personal tastes.

Here's one suggestion: look for Graded readers.

Graded readers are books adapted specially for English learners.

They take famous stories, or even things like Shakespeare plays, and adapt them for different

levels.

Naturally, there are many other sources of English reading materials: news websites,

magazines, blogs, forums, books, journals, and so on.

However, whatever you read, it should pass these tests.

You should be able to read and understand most of the general ideas without using a

dictionary or spending hours reading a short text.

If you can get this right, then you've done the most important work.

Remember that you don't have to finish reading everything you start.

For this lesson, we're talking about reading in order to improve your English level.

To do this, you need to find the right materials at the right level.

Don't waste your time trying to read things which are much too difficult.

So, what's the next step?

Let's get one thing clear: improving your reading skills in English is going to take

a lot of time.

It's not something you can do in days or weeks.

There aren't any tricks which can help you to improve faster.

So, the best thing you can do is very simple: read as much as possible.

Spend as much time reading in English as you can.

Also, variety is important in your reading practice.

If you read the same kind of texts again and again, you'll get good at reading that kind

of text.

For example, if you only ever read news articles about economics, you'll get very good at

reading news articles about economics, but you might find it difficult to read other

styles of text on other topics.

If you've seen our video about how to improve your listening, then you might recognise these

ideas.

That's because improving your reading and improving your listening need a similar approach.

Let's make an example reading study plan together, but first, we want you to think

about something: how many different things could you read in English?

Pause the video, and try to think of five different things you could read.

Make them as different as possible.

Ready?

Let's make a reading study plan together.

There are two rules:

1.

Do something every day.

If you're very busy, try to do five minutes a day.

Five minutes is better than nothing.

If you can do ten minutes a day, do ten minutes.

If you can do more, do more.

But, do something, even if it's just a little bit!

2.

Do something different every day.

If you read part of a novel one day, read something different the next day.

Also, try to find things you're interested in, and that you really want to read.

That way, it won't feel so much like studying, which will make it easier to do regularly.

Anyway, here's a possible plan for one week:

Monday: read 1-2 pages of a short story Tuesday: read a blog post

Wednesday: read a BBC news article Thursday: do a reading exercise from an English

textbook Friday: read a film review online

Saturday: read the comments on an online news article

Sunday: read the lyrics to a song

Of course, you should make your own plan to suit your own interests and level.

When you've made your plan, write it down and stick it on a wall, or on your bathroom

mirror, or somewhere where you'll see it every day.

When you finish each thing, cross it off your plan.

That way, you can track what you've done, and feel good about finishing your plan.

On the one hand, it's good to challenge yourself, so give yourself one or two harder

days, where you're reading more, or reading something more difficult.

On the other hand, be realistic and don't try to do too much.

It's more important to make reading in English a long-term habit, so make a plan which you

can stick to regularly!

Next, keep doing this, every day, every week, every month.

You might not feel that you're getting better, but over time, you will improve.

Now, you've seen the most important ideas you need to improve your English reading.

There are a couple more points to think about.

Let's look.

Here's a situation: you're taking an English exam, maybe an IELTS exam.

You have a reading text which is difficult for you.

There are many words you haven't seen before, and many sentences which you don't understand

clearly.

The clock is ticking.

What can you do?

Are there any tricks to make it easier to understand the text in this situation?

Surely there must be some special techniques which make it easier, right?

Not really.

If you're reading a text and you don't know many of the words, that's a bad situation.

If your grammar knowledge isn't enough to understand complex sentence structures, then

that's a bad situation.

At that moment, when you're in your exam and you're faced with this difficult text,

there's really no good solution.

There are many videos and lessons giving you ‘reading tips and tricks', including some

of our own!

However, these are only necessary if your reading level isn't high enough for a specific

task, like an IELTS reading exam.

These tips and tricks are ways to deal with having a lower reading level than you need.

Like everything in this lesson, there's no quick fix here.

To improve your English reading level, you also need to improve your vocabulary and grammar

knowledge, and that's a long, slow process.

But, it's necessary.

Remember in part one, we said that you should choose reading materials which you could understand

most of without a dictionary?

Now, we need to look at this from the other side.

Often in life, you can't choose the things you need to read.

If you're at work, or taking an English exam, you'll be given a text.

You can't choose to read something easier.

In that situation, you need to know most of the words in the text already.

If you don't, it will take you a long time and a lot of work to read and understand the

text, and there's a high chance that you'll misunderstand parts of it.

So, what should you do?

Firstly, your reading practice needs to be supported by regular grammar and vocabulary

work.

We won't go into details about this here, because it's too big as a topic, but if

you need advice, there are many free materials and videos on our channel and our website

to help you learn vocabulary and grammar effectively.

Secondly, when you read something in English, don't just read it once.

Read it two, three, four or more times, especially if it's difficult to understand the first

time.

Vocabulary learning depends on repetition, so by reading a text many times, you give

yourself more chances to see new words and phrases in context, which makes it easier

to remember them.

Thirdly, as you practice and as your reading level improves, increase the difficulty of

your reading materials.

This way, you'll continuously see new words, new phrases, new sentence structures, and

so on.

Okay, let's look at one more useful point you can use to practice your English reading.

Okay, you're probably bored of hearing that improving your English

reading is a long, slow, pro…

Okay, okay, you get it.

We've told you many times.

The problem with long, slow processes is that they're often boring.

And, when something's boring, it can be hard to motivate yourself to do it.

So, how can you deal with this?

The most important point is something you've already heard: read things you're interested

in.

However, there are a few other things you can do.

One idea is to set yourself challenges.

For example, use a timer when reading something and set yourself a time limit.

Try to read the whole text within that time.

Or, get a speed reading app.

There are many available in the Apple Store or Play Store, including many free apps.

These apps display text at a specific speed, so you have to read at the same speed.

As you get better, you can challenge yourself by increasing the speed.

Another good challenge is to read texts without a dictionary or any help.

You shouldn't do this all the time, because it's useful to learn new vocabulary when

you read, and you need a dictionary for this.

However, sometimes it's good to practice without any help.

It's also useful because this is often closer to real-life situations, where you might be

under pressure and unable to look up every word you don't know.

Follow these tips and your English reading level will improve.

Remember that you need to be patient!

Do you have any good tips to help others improve their English reading level?

reading news articles about economics, but you might find it difficult to read other 경제 관련 뉴스 기사를 읽지만 다른 뉴스는 읽기 어려울 수 있습니다.

styles of text on other topics. 다른 주제에 대한 텍스트 스타일.

If you've seen our video about how to improve your listening, then you might recognise these 듣기 능력을 향상시키는 방법에 대한 동영상을 본 적이 있다면 다음과 같은 내용을 알고 계실 것입니다.

ideas.

That's because improving your reading and improving your listening need a similar approach. 읽기 능력 향상과 듣기 능력 향상에는 비슷한 접근 방식이 필요하기 때문입니다.

Let's make an example reading study plan together, but first, we want you to think Lassen Sie uns gemeinsam einen Beispiel-Lesestudienplan erstellen, aber zuerst möchten wir, dass Sie nachdenken 독서 학습 계획의 예를 함께 만들어 보겠습니다. 먼저 다음과 같이 생각하시기 바랍니다.

about something: how many different things could you read in English? über etwas: Wie viele verschiedene Dinge kannst du auf Englisch lesen? 영어로 얼마나 많은 것을 읽을 수 있나요?

Let's make a reading study plan together.

There are two rules:

1.

Do something every day. Tun Sie jeden Tag etwas.

If you're very busy, try to do five minutes a day.

Five minutes is better than nothing.

If you can do ten minutes a day, do ten minutes.

If you can do more, do more.

But, do something, even if it's just a little bit! Aber tun Sie etwas, auch wenn es nur ein kleines bisschen ist! 하지만 아주 조금이라도 무언가를 하세요!

2.

Do something different every day.

If you read part of a novel one day, read something different the next day. 하루는 소설의 일부를 읽었다면 다음 날은 다른 소설을 읽으세요.

Also, try to find things you're interested in, and that you really want to read. ||||||||||||||leggere ||||||||||||quererás ler|| 또한 관심 있고 정말 읽고 싶은 글을 찾아보세요.

That way, it won't feel so much like studying, which will make it easier to do regularly. ||così|non sarà||||||||||||| 이렇게 하면 공부하는 것처럼 느껴지지 않아 규칙적으로 공부하기가 더 쉬워집니다.

Anyway, here's a possible plan for one week: Comunque||||||| 어쨌든, 일주일 동안 가능한 계획은 다음과 같습니다:

Monday: read 1-2 pages of a short story Tuesday: read a blog post

Wednesday: read a BBC news article Thursday: do a reading exercise from an English

textbook Friday: read a film review online Textbook Friday: Filmkritiken online lesen

Saturday: read the comments on an online news article 토요일: 온라인 뉴스 기사의 댓글 읽기

Sunday: read the lyrics to a song

Of course, you should make your own plan to suit your own interests and level. 물론 자신의 관심사와 수준에 맞게 계획을 세워야 합니다.

When you've made your plan, write it down and stick it on a wall, or on your bathroom Wenn du deinen Plan gemacht hast, schreibe ihn auf und klebe ihn an eine Wand oder an dein Badezimmer. 계획을 세우면 적어 벽이나 화장실에 붙이세요.

mirror, or somewhere where you'll see it every day.

When you finish each thing, cross it off your plan. Streichen Sie jede Aufgabe von Ihrem Plan, wenn Sie sie erledigt haben. 각 작업을 완료하면 계획에서 삭제하세요. 當你完成每件事後,把它從你的計劃中劃掉。

That way, you can track what you've done, and feel good about finishing your plan. 이렇게 하면 수행한 작업을 추적하고 계획을 완료한 것에 대해 기분이 좋아집니다.

On the one hand, it's good to challenge yourself, so give yourself one or two harder 한편으로는 자신에게 도전하는 것도 좋으니 한두 번 더 열심히 해보세요.

days, where you're reading more, or reading something more difficult. 더 많이 읽거나 더 어려운 책을 읽는 날입니다.

On the other hand, be realistic and don't try to do too much.

It's more important to make reading in English a long-term habit, so make a plan which you 영어 읽기를 장기적인 습관으로 만드는 것이 더 중요하므로 다음과 같은 계획을 세우세요.

can stick to regularly! regelmäßig einhalten können! 규칙적으로 실천할 수 있습니다!

Next, keep doing this, every day, every week, every month. 그런 다음, 매일, 매주, 매달 이 작업을 계속하세요.

You might not feel that you're getting better, but over time, you will improve. Sie haben vielleicht nicht das Gefühl, dass es Ihnen besser geht, aber mit der Zeit werden Sie sich verbessern.

Now, you've seen the most important ideas you need to improve your English reading. 이제 영어 읽기 능력을 향상시키는 데 필요한 가장 중요한 아이디어를 살펴보았습니다.

There are a couple more points to think about. 고려해야 할 몇 가지 사항이 더 있습니다.

Let's look.

Here's a situation: you're taking an English exam, maybe an IELTS exam.

You have a reading text which is difficult for you. 읽기 어려운 텍스트가 있습니다.

There are many words you haven't seen before, and many sentences which you don't understand 전에 보지 못한 단어와 이해하지 못하는 문장이 많이 있습니다.

clearly.

The clock is ticking. |钟|| |||Le temps passe. |||ticando 시간이 촉박합니다.

What can you do? 무엇을 할 수 있나요?

Are there any tricks to make it easier to understand the text in this situation? 이 상황에서 텍스트를 더 쉽게 이해할 수 있는 요령이 있나요?

Surely there must be some special techniques which make it easier, right?

Not really.

If you're reading a text and you don't know many of the words, that's a bad situation.

If your grammar knowledge isn't enough to understand complex sentence structures, then 복잡한 문장 구조를 이해하기에 문법 지식이 충분하지 않다면 다음과 같이 하세요.

that's a bad situation.

At that moment, when you're in your exam and you're faced with this difficult text, In dem Moment, wenn du in deiner Prüfung bist und mit diesem schwierigen Text konfrontiert wirst, 시험 중 어려운 지문을 마주했을 때, 그 순간이 바로 그 순간입니다,

there's really no good solution. 좋은 해결책이 없습니다.

There are many videos and lessons giving you ‘reading tips and tricks', including some Es gibt viele Videos und Lektionen mit "Lesetipps und -tricks", darunter auch einige

of our own! von uns selbst! 우리만의 것을!

However, these are only necessary if your reading level isn't high enough for a specific Diese sind jedoch nur notwendig, wenn Ihr Leseniveau für eine bestimmte Aufgabe nicht hoch genug ist. 그러나 이는 특정 읽기 수준이 충분히 높지 않은 경우에만 필요합니다.

task, like an IELTS reading exam. 과제를 수행할 수 있습니다.

These tips and tricks are ways to deal with having a lower reading level than you need. Diese Tipps und Tricks helfen Ihnen, mit einer niedrigeren Lesestufe umzugehen, als Sie benötigen. 이 팁과 요령은 필요한 것보다 낮은 읽기 수준에 대처할 수 있는 방법입니다.

Like everything in this lesson, there's no quick fix here. |||||||solução rápida|| Wie bei allem in dieser Lektion gibt es auch hier keine schnelle Lösung. 이 단원의 모든 내용과 마찬가지로 여기에는 빠른 해결책이 없습니다.

To improve your English reading level, you also need to improve your vocabulary and grammar 영어 읽기 수준을 높이려면 어휘와 문법도 향상시켜야 합니다.

knowledge, and that's a long, slow process. 지식을 습득하는 것은 길고 느린 과정입니다.

But, it's necessary. Aber es ist notwendig. 하지만 반드시 필요합니다.

Remember in part one, we said that you should choose reading materials which you could understand 1부에서 이해할 수 있는 읽기 자료를 선택해야 한다고 말씀드린 것을 기억하세요.

most of without a dictionary?

Now, we need to look at this from the other side. Jetzt müssen wir die Sache von der anderen Seite her betrachten. 이제 반대편에서 이 문제를 살펴볼 필요가 있습니다.

Often in life, you can't choose the things you need to read. Oft kann man sich im Leben nicht aussuchen, was man lesen will. 살다 보면 읽어야 할 책을 선택할 수 없는 경우가 종종 있습니다.

If you're at work, or taking an English exam, you'll be given a text. 직장에 있거나 영어 시험을 치르고 있는 경우 문자가 전송됩니다.

You can't choose to read something easier. 더 쉬운 것을 읽을 수는 없습니다.

In that situation, you need to know most of the words in the text already. 이 상황에서는 텍스트에 나오는 대부분의 단어를 이미 알고 있어야 합니다.

If you don't, it will take you a long time and a lot of work to read and understand the 그렇지 않은 경우, 이 도움말을 읽고 이해하는 데 오랜 시간과 많은 작업이 소요됩니다.

text, and there's a high chance that you'll misunderstand parts of it. 텍스트의 일부를 오해할 가능성이 높습니다.

So, what should you do? 그렇다면 어떻게 해야 할까요?

Firstly, your reading practice needs to be supported by regular grammar and vocabulary 첫째, 읽기 연습은 규칙적인 문법과 어휘로 뒷받침되어야 합니다. 首先,你的閱讀練習需要有常規文法和字彙的支持
