ASEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY AND EXTENSIVE READING

The strategies that I got from this course.

-Previewing

-Predicting

-Skimming 

-Scanning

-Guessing from the text

-Paraphrasing

When I read books I use skimming and then I'll use scanning for find the main idea. When I came across the difficult word or I can't understand the passage, I'll guess before I use a dictionary.

What is content it's easy for you?

I think speed reading is easy for me because I can't understand I can use the method of speed reading when I read books or novels.

I can read faster than before and I still understand while I am reading. This content helps me to improve my reading skill so much

What is content it's hard for you?

I think "Ann landers" is hard to me because I have to give an advice. But I can't do it because I can't understand the problem in the letter and sometimes I don't know what is the problem.

How did you solve the problem?

I must practice, read a lot and pay more attention in class. After class, I must preview and prepare the next lesson.

What are you attitudes toward to the lesson?

In my opinion, I think this course is very important for students because most students don't know how to correctly reading strategies reading.

This course can help everyone, who wants to read, to improves they reading skill and perhaps they  may get writing and speaking skills as well.
