Comprehension Skills

I've found my comprehension skill is weak. I read very slowly. Whenever there are new words in the passage, I slow down to guess the meaning. Most of the time I cannot get the meaning, I feel very frustrated.Today, I think I learn to improve my reading by doing three different things.

Firstly, I learn I can read something that I can easily understand and I am interested in. Reading ESLite newspaper is a good start. I think I can spend at least five minutes a day on it.

Secondly, I learn to time myself when I read. So, it helps increase my speed of reading. One of the problems is what to do with the unknown words in reading. I should just skip the words by saying bah bah according to the number of syllables.

Lastly, I learn that I can repeat reading anything that is an interest to me. I can read the passages that I learn in school or story books that I like.

To conclude, I must learn to understand and remember what I read. This helps improve my comprehension skill and learn new words. To make sure I can remember what I read and I can read faster, I should re-read as much as I can.

Answer the questions below.

2.What does he think he can do to improve his reading skill?

3. Why does the author help himself to remember what he reads?

My Views on Early Admission to University

The Early Admission Scheme (EAS) started last year. I think it is a good news. Top students can enter university one year ealier. I support the EAS due to the following reasons.


EAS is a reward to students who work hard. The EAS gives students more freedom to study what they are really interested in. They do not need to study for the A level exam.


To conclude, EAS is a good scheme to Hong Kong students.
