How I Improve My Reading Skill
In this era, English is one of the important thing in every single aspect of
human life. In this globalization era that is filled by challenges and competitions,
everyone is demanded not only to have a high level of education but also required
to have a special capability, called skill. Reading skill is one of the most needed
skills in this globalization era.
But then I realized that I have to read the right books to improve my reading
skill. I can’t just jump into something that I don’t really know, something that I
don’t really understand. When I choose something to read, I always think about
what kind of text I’m interested in. I personally interested in the fairy tale. I know
it sounds childish, but if it can help me to improve my reading skill, why not? I
always increase the difficulty of my reading materials. By doing this, I will
continuously see new words, new phrases, new sentence structures, and so on.
I always ask myself some questions after I read the text. It is a simple
question such as, what was the text about? What are the most important things that
happened in the text? Are there any parts I didn’t understand? I might have more
questions, depending on what kind of text I read.
