ACADEMIC READING TASK
5 Key Points To Remember
1.Practicing will make it easier for you, you need to practice more and more by skimming and trimming.
2.Timing is everything! Learn to scan. Look at blocks of text and scan for key words, people’s names and places that are relevant, instead of trying to read each word with equal attention. You simply may not have enough time to read the whole text word-by-word and still answer the questions.
3.Read the instructions carefully.
4.Read English daily, which will especially help with your reading speed and comprehension. Choose something that you are interested in and read about it.
5.Do not be scared of any question. Some candidates form a prejudice in their mind regarding some particular type of questions and they dread it when it comes in the passage. This negatively affects your ability to answer all kinds of questions.
