Reading Strategies Have you ever read what should be a useful document,yet failed to gain any helpful information from it? Or,do you have to reread something several times to get a full understanding of the content?

The following approaches will help you get the maximum benefit from your reading,with the minimum effort.

1. Think about What You Want to Know 1          Are you reading with a purpose,or just for pleasure? What do you want to know after you've read it?

Once you know your purpose,you can examine the resource to see whether it's going to help you.

2. Know How Deeply to Study the Material Where you only need the shallowest knowledge of a subject,you can skim the material. Here you read only chapter headings,introductions,and summaries.

If you need a moderate level of information on a subject,then you can scan the text. You can then speed read the contents of the chapters,picking out and understanding key words and concepts. 2      

3. Read Actively When you're reading a document or book in detail,it helps if you practice "active reading" by highlighting and underlining key information,and taking notes as you progress. 3      

4. Know How to Study Different Types of Material Different types of documents hold information in different places and in different ways,and they have different depth and breadth of coverage.

The most effective way of getting information from magazines is to scan the tables of contents or indexes and turn directly to interesting articles. Newspapers tend to be arranged in sections. 4      

5. Make Your Own Table of Contents 5          This means that you may not notice when important information has been left out,or that an irrelevant detail has been included.

An effective way to combat this is to make up your own table of contents before you start reading. Ask yourself what sections or topics you are expecting to see in this document,and what questions you want to have answered by the end of the text.

   A. This is when you read the chapter introductions and summaries in detail.

   B. Before you start reading anything,ask yourself why you're reading it.

   C. Most of us read regularly as part of our jobs,and to develop our skills and knowledge.

   D. This enphasizes information in your mind,and helps you to review inportant points later.

   E. Only when you need full knowledge of a subject is it worth studying the text in detail.

   F. When you're reading a document or book,it's easy to accept the writer's structure of thought.

   G. If you read a paper often,you can quickly learn which sections are useful,and which ones you can skip altogether.

Are the school holidays too long? We asked children,parents and teachers whether the summer break should be shorter. 1       Ruby Mullin,nine This idea is mean. There's no other word for it. Children need to calm down and have a good holiday at the end of a busy school year. The long holidays give you time to do things you wouldn't otherwise get to do,like in my family we go to Ireland and see relatives and friends there. It might seem long to some people. 2       Anthony Seldon,head teacher of Wellington College in Berkshire If it hadn't been for the long summer holiday,I wouldn't have come into teaching. 3       Whether it's painting,hiking or,as in my case,writing books,it adds such a lot to what teachers have to give. And as for all these worries about pupils forgetting all they've learned,children have up to nine weeks in summer,and their exam results don't suffer. We all know that some of the most valuable learning experiences take place away from the classroom.

Nachelle Crowther,mother of three kids 4      The sixweek break seems designed for another age,when mothers didn't work and your mum lived round the corner to give you a hand. If I was able to take a sixweek holiday,great,I'd love it―but in the real world,that isn't possible. Instead,I end up spending a fortune―around £600―on childcare for each week when I'm working.

Sarah Radford,a primary school teacher at Botley school,Oxford

I've taught for more than 20 years,and summer is the only holiday when teachers can properly switch off from the intense work of planning and assessing (評估) .If it was shortened,the result would be an increase in teachers' stress levels and a harmful effect on our ability to teach. Children need that time for unstructured play,and to have time not being assessed,simply being themselves. 5      

   A. Should children have less time off school during the summer?

   B. However,time flies when you're having fun.

   C. It's important for teachers to do other things.

   D. A shorter summer holiday would be much better.

   F.   T have 9inreferenre for a lon^ cummer holiHav to have,fun

   F. A long summer holiday can also improve childrenparents relationship.

Last Sunday I saw the worse storm in years. It came down suddenly but went on for more than three hours. After the lunch,I went into my room have a rest. The air was hot and all were quiet.

Then I heard a loud crashing sound from the back of the home. I ran out of my room to find out that a big tree had fallen down and broke the top of the backroom.
