Oh, good. Now. Yep. Okay on part two. You are going to hear a teacher talking to students about how to read faster. For questions nine to 18, complete the sentences. Use a word or short phrase. You have 45s to look at part two. Okay, now I did promise I was going to give you some tips about improving your reading speed. A lot of people get the wrong impression when they think about speed reading. They imagine it means doing what you normally do just faster. But actually you read more quickly by learning new techniques and reading in a different way. First, you need to find out how fast you can read already by timing yourself. Read something with comprehension questions so you'll know if you've actually understood what you've read. Then after a few months of training, try a similar test and see if you're faster. There are lots of these tests online now. Techniques. My number one tip is don't say the words out loud as you read. It's much faster to read in your head. So keep your lips closed to help you not to voice words. Take a pen and run the tip quickly along the line you're reading, paying attention to the words as you do so. The moving pen will force your eye to keep moving. Eventually, you'll find a speed that you feel comfortable with, but which will also be too fast for you to speak the words. Another thing, in order to understand a text, we don't need to read every word. Words like a, the, and, did don't Carry any meaning. So focus on key words like nouns and verbs. Eventually, you should try to avoid reading individual words and instead focus on groups of words. Imagine you're zooming out or away from the text, seeing it from further away, just like when we're in an aeroplane. E when we're low down, we see individual buildings, but as we get higher, we see blocks of houses. Do the same when you read. Another tip is to use features of the text to help you get an understanding. Paragraph headings will give you an idea of the general topic. Scan the text for these before you read in more detail. Also, within each paragraph, the opening sentences will often tell you all you need to know. Now and again, you might need to get further details. That's when you read the rest of the sentences. Finally, get out of the habit of rereading sections of a text. You'll never improve unless you have the confidence to move on. Try covering the text you've just read with a piece of paper, and to prove to yourself that you have actually understood summariise in a sentence or two what you've read. When you get to the end of a page, you'll be surprised by how much you remember. Did you think you I need to second recording. I need second recording, okay? You will now hear part two again.
