7 Pleasurable Ways to Improve Your Reading Ability

1. Read about things that interest you. If you are interested in what you are reading about, the words will come alive, and you will be motivated to understand. You will feel satisfaction in accomplishing a task that you enjoy, and which you consider meaningful. The more you read, the better you will become at reading. Just get started and it will become a habit, as long as you are interested in what you are reading.

2. Read material that is at your level, or just a little difficult for you. Read material that you find easy to read, or just a little challenging. Looking up many unknown words in a conventional dictionary is tedious, and the results of the dictionary search quickly forgotten. It is better to stay within your comfort zone and keep reading. Soon you will be able to take on more difficult content.

3. Learn to read in depth, stay on the same subject for a while. If you are familiar with the subject you are reading about, you will understand better. Do not just read short articles. Commit to books. Stay with one author for at least one book. If the subject matter is new to you, you should even try to read a few different books or articles about the same subject, before you move on. This way you will meet the same vocabulary and ideas often, helping you to learn. You will also be able to get deeper into the subject and your reading confidence will grow.

4. If you have trouble reading, listen first. Many great works of literature were written to be read out loud. Learn to appreciate the art of the narrator. Listen to audio books or audio files of the material that you are reading. This will help make difficult content seem more familiar. If you can hear the new words and phrases that you are reading, you will have an easier time understanding and remembering them. Hearing the rhythm of someone reading a text will help your own reading.

5. Let your imagination get involved. Good readers get engrossed in their reading and let it trigger their imagination. Learn to enjoy your reading without asking too many questions or analyzing too much. It will just spoil the sensual enjoyment of the reading experience. You do not need to predict or analyze. Just enjoy and look forward to absorbing the information, ideas and thoughts expressed by the writer.

6. Don’t worry about what you don’t understand. Most of your reading should be for pleasure. You can enjoy reading without understanding all of what you read. You may even understand some things in your own personal way. Neither you nor a teacher needs to “monitor” your understanding. Learn to enjoy reading, even while feeling that you do not fully understand or remember what you have read.

7. Recognize that the key is to read a lot. You may develop a system for keeping track of new words that you encounter in your reading, using lists, or Flash Cards, or other memory systems available on the Internet or elsewhere. However, the main growth in your vocabulary and reading skill will come just from reading as much as you can. So learn to enjoy reading and read a lot. Keep reading, and you will become a better reader.
Unfortunately not all reading is just for pleasure. When you are reading a textbook or manual, or report or other material that have to read for school or work, you may need to underline, take notes, and read some parts over again, in order to retain what you are reading. However, if you have developed the habit of reading for pleasure, you will find that the cognitive techniques you need will come naturally, and that you will understand a lot better than before.

Blur

fuh...sudah lama x jejak ke dalam blog ni..
even, password pun aku dah lupa, nasib baik boleh masuk tu pun lepas test 7 kali..ho3
atually aku rasa tak ramai pun tahu kewujudan blog ni sbb :-
1- aku jarang menulis
2- aku bukanlah kaki blog
3- aku jarang lawat blog orang lain
4- aku memang tak promote blog ni

setelah difikirkan kembali mcm takde sebab dah tuk aku teruskan kehidupan blog ni, ingat nak tamatkan riwayat dia..ok tak??..ermm..bukan apa, tapi kehidupan aku di kampus yang busy lagi memenatkan, ditambah dengan kelajuan internet uia yang ibarat siput, diiringi dengan aku takda broadband, membuatkan aku tawar hati tuk berkongsi dan menulis..kadangkala rasa banyak peristiwa yang nak dikongsi...tapi bila start nak tulis, tiba-tiba je blur...erm

so, hajatku ingin tutup je blog ni...tapi sebelum cuti aritu ada jugak plan nak mintak tolong seseorang tuk meriahkan lagi blog ini, dalam erti kata lain fungsi blog ini diteruskan dengan pengisian roh seperti tazkirah, sirah, tafsir kitab...cewahh..bukan itu saja, i mean kongsi cerita, cerpen-cerpen buatan sendiri, pengalaman, kisah cinta, dan lain-lain lagi.

i have found someone yang aku rasa boleh meneruskan kehidupan blog ini. She is good and hilarious...oopss, kantoi la plak aku nak bagi dekat perempuan...yahh, aku mengaku memang wanita yg menjadi pilihan..sebab lelaki..erm, semua tak nak..hu3..

demi mengelakkan persepsi yang tidak enak bak rasa biskut meri masuk angin, i stress this up..SHE IS FRIEND..ONLY FRIEND..HOW GOOD YOU IMAGINE SHE IS MY SPECIAL..I SAID AGAIN..F..R...I..E..N..D..FULLSTOP!!..

so ini masih lagi dalam perbincangan dengan beliau...segala perubahan akan diberitahu kemudian ^^

Ramadhan di Matri

Alhamdulillah,Allah memberi ku kesempatan tuk pergi ke matri pada hari khamis bersamaan 18 ogos 2011. Sebenarnya aku dah lama teringin ke matri, maklumlah matri ni ibarat rumah no 2 aku. Ramai alumni atau ex matri yg hadir. Kalau batch aku ada la beberapa orang mcm faris, mujahid, fauzan, nu'man, akmal parsi(sepupu aku), ghufran, syairazi, mutaal, suhaib, mahmoud dan lain-lain lagi. Sampai saja matri petang khamis tu aku terus ke rumah Ustaz Mahadzir( ayahanda tercinta bak kata budak2 VT..hehe), mintak kebenaran tuk bermukim sebentar..aku juga memberi 2 kuih raya iaitu choc cup and blueberry tuk ustazah KB..
tok!3 pintu rumahnya ku ketuk..beberapa ketika pintunya dibuka..

AKU : assalamualaikum ustaz,ustaz sihat???
Ustaz M : waalaikumusalam(muka ngantuk standard sbb ustaz penat jga budak2.owh, sihat alhamdulillah(sambil senyum, mungkin rindu aku..*aku perasan)
AKU : *senyum kembali..ustaz, ana nak mintak izin tidoq kat matri.
Ustaz M : owh, bleh2..mcm besa naa, tidoq hotel 5 bintang(sambil senyum penuh makna)
AKU : ok2..(dalam hati, musolla la tu)

Overall story ok. Dapat jumpa ustaz2, ustazah2, shbt2, kwn2..sahur pun best sbb ngantuk2 kmi g makan kat luar. Malam plak bila tido kat musolla sejuk ya Rabbi. Semua tu kenangan yang best. Lagi best bila ustaz Hadi bagi tazkirah lepas subuh dan lepas terawikh, dapat la jugak charge iman ni. Duduk rumah ni hati kurang terdidik, payah nak jaga.

Aku juga berpeluang jumpa Hilal Ashraf, penulis novel yang gah tu(macam excited tapi tak pun sebab da lama satu team dengan dia). Malam lepas terawikh plak, kami friendly volleyball dengan senior2 time aku form 1 diorang form 5 such jepah, syubah, raqib, maahi, meor. Tak lupa juga Cikgu Saiful dan Raja.Erm..best la sampai aku tak taw nak buat ungkapan madah yang cantik rona bahasanya =) Macam biasa essay mesti ada harapan dan konklusi. Aku harap Allah beri kesempatan sekali lagi tuk ke matri dan bertemu dengan mereka2 yang banyak mendidik ku. Tak perlu ambik contoh jauh kerna yang dekat sudah bisa mencorak peribadi, buat teman2, sahabat2 yang dikasihi kerna Nya, moga ukhuwah kita sampai ke syurga..mudahan..amin

p/s : kekeliruan bahasa dalam penulisan sudah banyak so cuba faham la ye, x larat nak tulis skema ~
