7、their own English. Teacher found them liking this kind of activities. They became interested in English reading.CheckingTeacher always checked their work carefully. Teacher have ever met their parents for above reasons .they said they would paymore attention to the serious problem, while their child

8、ren couldn t finish their homework .From then on, these parents started to pay attention to their English reading.Reduce their pressureThe students felt nervous they would make mistakes.

13、thesis is that students interest will be greatly increased by encouraging students do more practices and better activities. Now designed one activity:ActivityReading activities designPurpose : To practice the students7 reading .Tell them how to master the main ideas of passage.Model 1.A middle-aged

14、professor said that his wife was too extravagant, because no matter how much he give her for the household expenses, she always ran short.In this sentence, the meaning of the word extravagant can be easily guessed.Model 2.Prometheus stayed chained to the lock for many years, Then at last the mighty.

15、Hercules came forth and broke the bonds -but that is another of the wonderful stories of the Greeks.In This paragraph, the words 11 stayed chainedH is the hint, So they can guess what bonds11 means.Model 3.The tiny droplets that form on dust particles very small pieces of dust, to produce a cloud ar

16、e far apart from each other.In this sentence, the words after the dash shows the meaning of the word parotids（微粒）Besides the ways mentioned above, they can guess according to the word-formation, for exampleChild-childless, Marx-MarxismLarge-enlarge tell-foretellAustralian + satelliteAussateState + r

17、un state-run.Sometimes they cant guess what the word means. If the word doesnt affect your reading, let it be. For example,A German told me that all over China they use Gourmet powder in their food. It will give you higher blood pressure.They may know that gourmet it kinds of thing that can be eat.

18、But it doesnt matter whether they know what it is.Another problem that affects their reading speed is they reading habit and they reading skill.Some one reads word by word. Some one reads with his finger pointing to the words or with his head shaking. Those are all bad habits. I asked them should re

19、ad phrase by phrase. Dont blink their eyes so often and donft shake their head. Just move their eyeball. Thafs enough. If they want to get more word information, there must be a proper distance between their eyes and the reading material.I think browsing is an important step while they are doing the

20、ir reading comprehension.Some students begin to read at once when he get a reading material, even without knowing, its title. But after reading for many times, he wont understand what the article says.Looking through the material first means fore reading. In an examination, they want to grain the in

21、formation which the questions ask, they cant read the material in a usual way, and they cant read the whole material word by word. They gad have to omit some sentence, sometimes even a whole paragraph, which have nothing to do with the questions.I think they might read the given questions fast as we

22、ll, then the material. There is an advantage to do this. When they read the material with the questions, they can save their time.Model:A Festival Atmosphere.At midnight on New Years Eve, people in Rome, Italy, throw out all the things they no longer want. The streets are filled with old chairs, bed
