2.2.2 Reading Habits

　　Of the nonintellectual obstacles, a bad reading habit is another one to restrict reading ability. From example, some learners keep pointing at word by word with a pen or so while reading; some still read aloud in their mind though there is no movement of throat; some read back from time to time to make sure they have catch meanings; and some consult a dictionary the moment they meet a new word. Those bad habits affect badly the speed of reading and comprehending.

　　2.2.3 Reading skills

　　According to different purposes, there are two main methods of reading: intensive reading and extensive reading. Intensive reading aims at catching the pith of an article, including the usages of words and phrases, the structures of sentences, the structures of the article, the thought of the writer, the purpose that the author wrote the article and so on. As Bacon said, when we do intensive reading, we should “chew” and “digest” an article.

　　If we just want to search for some useful information for ourselves, we may do extensive reading. It contains two important and useful skills: skimming and scanning.

　　When we are not very clear about the purpose of reading or reading skills, obviously, it is difficult to improve our English reading ability.

　　III. The ways to improve reading ability

　　The improvement of reading ability is a systemic job. It is involved in vocabulary, grammar, culture, reading skills and so on. And also, the job can not be achieved in a short time. So, in order to improve our reading ability, we need not only patience and perseverance but also some scientific ways. Now, let’s discuss the ways to improve reading ability.
