| reading and listening skills can improve fast. You can learn quickly and after some time you will not have to. translate into your own language. If you translate, |
| you cannot be part of communication because you are thinking about the language too much. These words are maybe hard to read but they are true. You also have |
| to hear every new word 5 to 10 times if you want to remember it. That's why we use the same words in one level. If you read and hear the same words again and |
| again, you will understand. them and remember them. If you know words from one level, you can go to a higher level and learn new words. It is important to go step |
| by step, and read and listen to words which are used in English often. This is what we do with our news. In our short news, we use words which are used in English |
| often. Try this. When you come across an illustration, write your own caption or description of the picture. It can be a sentence or one word. Write what you see in the image. |
| When you look at the story, go back to your image description. How do they relate? If you choose a story that's too difficult, you'll. spend too much time looking up |
| vocabulary, missing the whole point of the story. If you choose a story that's too easy, you'll learn little to no new vocabulary and you may become bored. Make |
| sure that you always challenge yourself, even if you're only learning a few new words. What if you really want to read a story, but the level is too hard? Try to read the |
| story anyway. If the subject interests you, you'll be motivated to learn the vocabulary you need to understand the story. Bring the story to your English teacher. |
| He you don't know so you'll be able to enjoy the story on your own. |
