I am so tired of these readingsss. Bila laaaa nak habis baca econs ni? Nak baca skip2 boleh tak? Tak larat daaaaaa nak baca. Sangat penat + exhausted. Even right beside me, there's a mug of french vanilla....but still it cannot cure my dizziness while reading these economics terms. Ohhh boy........Mata da berpinar-pinar ok. i need some rest, so I feels like blogging jap. Haha. Asyik bagi alasan je each time I get distracted from works. Hrmm, what to do??
So, in order to make u guys find it not a waste of time to read my blog, here I googled some tips on how to make an effective reading skills.
1. You don't have to be a great reader to get the point.
Some people read fast and remember everything. Others read slowly and take a couple of times to get all the information. It doesn't matter, really, so long as when you read, you get the information you're seeking.
(I read super fast, but i dont really understand what i'm reading...duhhh)
2. Know WHY you're reading.
Are you reading for entertainment or to learn something? Decide why you're reading before you start and you'll greatly improve your comprehension and your enjoyment.
(I read as my professors told me to do so. I also read so that i do not get lost in class discussion. I read because I HAVE TO!! )
3. You don't need to read everything.
Not every magazine, letter, and email you receive contains information you need. In fact, most of it is simply junk. Throw it away, hit the delete key! Just doing this will double the amount of time you have available to read.
(But, but...my reading list said: Read all highlighted Chapters. They are COMPULSORY)
4. You don't need to read all of what you DO read.
Do you read every article of every magazine, every chapter of every book? If so, you're probably spending a lot of time reading stuff you don't need.
Be choosy: select the chapters and articles that are important. Ignore the rest.
( I can actually do this?? OMG~ )
5. Scan before you read.
Look at the table of contents, index, topic headers, photo captions, etc. These will help you determine if, a) you have a real interest in this reading, and b) what information you're likely to get from it.
(Agree...save a lot of time)
6. Prioritize your reading.
You can't read everything all at once (and wouldn't want to). If it's important, read it now. If it's not, let it wait.
(I am quite unsure bout this...)
7. Optimize your reading environment.
You'll read faster and comprehend more if you read in an environment that's comfortable for you.
(My bed is the most comfortable place for me. However, turns out that whether I read the book, or the book READ me.)
8. Once you start, don't stop!
Read each item straight through. If you finish and have questions, go back and re-read the pertinent sections. If you don't have questions, you got what you needed and are ready to move on.
(I found this is DIFFICULT to follow. I keep getting asleep...zzzz~)
9. Focus.
Remember, you're reading with a purpose, so focus on that purpose and the material. If you lose interest or keep losing your place, take a break or read something else. You can keep track of where you are by following along with your hand. This simple technique helps you focus and increase your concentration.
( 100% Agree. Good technique.)
10. Practice!
The more you read, the better reader you'll become (and smarter, too)! So, feed your mind: read!(Absolutely true.)
