    I could incorporate some of the suggestions given to me by previewing my text. This could help tremendously because it helps you to get a view of what it is you are about to read and helps with recognizing things you already know. Another strategy is marking my textbook. This can help by letting me reference my notes rather than read through the entire material over again. One final strategy I could incorporate is readings in time blocks. This helps me to focus more on what I am reading so that I can keep the information I gain fresh in my mind.…

    In the first stage, you should do preview before you begin to read. You read the title, the italic, or black printed words very quickly. If there is a picture, a chart, or a graph, you give it a quick look. Thus, you can figure out the use of the words in this passage, and what is the content of this piece of writing. The next step is to have glance at the first sentence of each paragraph. Besides, you should read the first and the last sentence carefully. For instance, when I begin to read the essays, which have been written by Lubna Abdul Aziz, entitled Lime Light every week in Al Ahram weekly, I used to read every single word in the essay. However, at the end I discover that I do not understand a word, but when I followed the pervious steps, I reached the author's point of view. Furthermore, you should widen your eye span, which helps you to read the whole statement with one look. For example, you should not read an expression like (In the morning) as a separate word, but a whole. After finishing the article, you should ask yourself questions such as what is the article about? What is the main idea? Is the author's point of view right or wrong? At last, you will find reading easy and interesting.…
