 Face the new terms. If you find an unknown word, underline it so that later you
look for the meaning, but if at the moment you can deduce what it means, ignore
it. It is important to have the ability to understand the general idea of ​the text
without resorting immediately to the dictionary. After the reading is finished, you
can find out the exact meaning of the new concepts and form sentences with these
words.

  Ask yourself questions before, during and after reading. Examine the text before
reading it and ask yourself the following questions: Are there words in bold or
italics?

when making the summary you are also practicing written expression, grammar
and vocabulary. You can write your opinion with your own words to test your
understanding.
 Reread the text because when we read a text for the first time we are left with the
main idea. But if we go back to read the details that were overlooked, they will be
more obvious after the second reading.

meaning in a text
 Read daily texts in English, this improves your reading level and you learn more
vocabulary, you can read stories, news, books or what you like to read, this helps
you to expand the lexicon and understand the text much faster.

focused on reading without any type of interruptions and, in this way get a greater
assimilation of concepts
