But I guess the broader point here is to try a couple of methods if you are struggling, and if you're   stuck. And you're building your vocab but not making progress. Yeah, maybe you need to   adjust your strategy because one way doesn't suit everybody. There's a good expression for that,   I can’t think of what it is. One way, different ways to skin a cat. Yeah, something like cheap history essay writing in UK. I   don't like that one though. Yeah it’s awful. Okay, but you know, a lot of books, a lot of teachers   will say you must skim the passage first.

And personally, I actually don't find that   all that helpful. So I use a different method most of the time, because I've tried a few and   you should do the same. Don't use paragraph by paragraph because I said to. Try it if it   works for you. Use it, If not try another method. Yeah, look, I think I think these methods   are really helpful. They like step-by-step approaches to a particular question type.   First of all, you need to understand the question types.

I think there are 11 different reading   questions in is 11 or 12. Anyway, again, we've got these methods, lessons on E2Language.com which take you through every single different question type, and we give you these methods. So the next   time you're looking at that match headings or true false not given or whatever it is you like, is,   I know how to approach this, where to look first, what to do next, etc. And that helps.   Okay, so let's set some goals for your reading so you can improve your scores. What you want to do on a daily basis is read some sort of article that might be sciencedaily.com or BBC or whatever newspaper, you particularly like. While you're reading, you might want to summarize the paragraph. Okay, so read the paragraph.

A good little tool is to then summarize it into a single sentence. Okay, get the main idea of the paragraph in a single sentence. The other thing you need to do in order to build your vocabulary is to create flashcards. So find   five new words a day. Now you might want to do these by theme, so by technology, or   health or education, etc. That's really helpful. And it's also helpful if you know if it's a noun   or a verb or an adjective.

So categorized by theme and by part of speech or type of word on a weekly basis, you might want to do a full practice test. But what's better is if you come along to  our live classes that happen every day, twice a day by an expert, taught by our expert  teachers, and we actually take you through the methods we actually do vocab building with you and  it's just sort of it just it's good motivation, actually, because there's other students in  the class.

 There's a teacher, it's kind of   fun. It's really good. Yeah, that's it. So we've covered so far writing and reading we've given   you some suggestions for goals, but share with us  your own ideas in the comment section below.
