How Can Improve My Reading Skill In English?
Hi there. I have been studying English especially reading part. I am keen on improve reading skill dramatically. Everyday I am trying one reading topic. But I make a mistake, take incorrect ones when I choose an answer in four options. I am planning to take FCE exam. Do you have any advices for me?
It’s simple. Don’t think about reading as a skill to practice for an exam. Learn to enjoy it.

It talks about how the faster you read, the better your reading and retention skills are.
To conclude, there really isn’t a benchmark for reading. Go at your own pace. If you don’t understand everything, JUST SKIP IT! If you check up every single vocab. you don’t know, you’ll be stuck reading the same page for a long time and you’ll get so frustrated that you’ll stop.
You might also want to take articles from various media, e.g. magazines, newspapers, fiction, non-fiction, and see how the language varies across different types of text. Look out for informal language as well.
Try use what you learnt from reading, (meanings of words you guessed, reading between the lines) and apply it to everyday conversations.
That’s the best advice I have.
Good luck~
I think the best thing you can do to improve your English reading skills is to read while listening to what someone is saying. On World English Club they have articles that are read aloud so you can listen while you read it.
I think that will be the best way for you to learn. Here is the main page, http://www.WorldEnglishClub.com and almost everything on the site is read aloud. If you don’t understand what they say, the words are right in front of you. And if you don’t know what a word should sound like, it is read out loud for you.
Its pretty cool
Good Luck!
study english and keep trying, it doesnt matter if you dont get it right it only matters if you try your best!
