INTRODUCTION

A. Background

In everyday life reading is very important, where the goal is so that we can understand
and understand information.reading is a process carried out by readers to get messages
conveyed by the author through written language media or activities to match letters or recite
simbolys of written language. Reading have various purposes, for example reading to get
facts, reading to get main ideas, reading to fill spare time, reading to entertain and so on.

Through learning to read, students can develop their reasoning and thinking skills.
Reading also has links and similarities with listening / listening, both are receptive. both
allow one person to receive information from another.

DISSCUSION

A. INTRODUCTION
Reading is a complex, purposeful, interactive, comprehending, flexible activity
that takes considerable time and resources to develop. Reading is rapid, which means
that readers should maintain flow of information at a sufficient rate to make connections
and inferences vital to comprehension. The reader has a purpose for reading, whether it is
for entertainment, information, or research. Reading for a purpose provides motivation -
an important aspect of being a good reader. It is interactive activity - the reader makes
use of information from his/her background knowledge as well as information from the
printed page; reading is also interactive in the sense that many skills work together
simultaneously in the process. The reader typically expects to understand what s/he is
reading. Reading is flexible, meaning that the reader employs a range of strategies to
read efficiently. Finally, reading develops gradually; the reader does not become fluent
suddenly, or immediately following a reading development course.

B. READING COMPREHENSION
Reading is not merely a process of exact identification of letters, words, and
ultimately sentences leading to comprehension built from letter to word to phrase to
sentence [1]. Readers make use of their existing background knowledge (schemata) to
make predictions about what is coming next in the text and about how some new,
unfamiliar piece of information relates to what is already known, as in [2] and [3]. It is
clear that basic decoding processes are important for comprehension and are used by
readers in interaction with the more complex processes of meaning generation, as
referred in [4], [5], and [6]. However, it is equally clear that readers engage in reading in
order to gain information. Reading purpose is a central concern of English for Specific
Purposes (ESP), and purpose resides in the language learner's relationship to the learning
task. The purpose is assumed to be comprehension of the message. Comprehension in
instructional settings is translated into some product, such as completion of
comprehension questions, a written summary, or an oral report [7].
C. LISTENING

Here you can find activities to practise your listening skills. Listening will help
you to improve your understanding of the language and your pronunciation.

1. Listening practice to help you understand familiar words and basic phrases when
people speak slowly and clearly. Situations include meeting people, shopping and
conversations at work.
2. Listening practice to help you understand common vocabulary and expressions in
short, clear dialogues. Situations include simple explanations, introductions,
messages and announcements.
3. Listening practice to help you understand the main points of clear, standard speech
about everyday or job-related topics. Situations include phone calls, meetings and
interviews.
4. Listening practice to help you understand extended, standard speech about familiar
topics that may contain complex ideas. Situations include broadcasts, reviews,
presentations and lectures.
5. Listening practice to help you understand extended speech about abstract, complex
or unfamiliar topics. Situations include job interviews, lectures, talks and meetings.

CONCLUSION

A. Conclusion

In conclusion, we can see that reading and listening are equally important and they
all help improve our pronunciation and conversational skills. Reading and writing,
reading and comprehension, listening and speaking, listening and comprehension, these
are importantmfor the communication skills.

B. Suggestion

Readers should not only guided by the material in the paper, but try to find a wider
range of reference sourcesto increase the knowledge of the readers.
