Reading and Questioning

I think after reading the title of this blog, anyone can tell that this is another blog on reading techniques. This technique is analogous to reading and prediction. This technique also requires spending more times because it requires a lot of thinking. Basically, you read and ask yourself what is the author’s intend. This is very helpful when you are reading very complicated books because it allows you to think in a different view, which is very helpful in many cases.

Another reason why I suggest everyone to use this technique is because it helps you to remember the texts more clearly. If you understand what the author’s intend is, the main idea for that chapter would stay in your mind for a longtime.

For me, this technique really helped me to understand difficult books. It not only helps me understand it, it also left a very strong impression after over a month. This means a lot for a student whose first language is mandarin.
