English - I Reading and Writing Skills (BS English)

 Qno1

I use these 3 methods/strategies more often ,because to become a good reader we need to follow these 3 strategies

Example 

When I was preparing for the English literature exam, so I took my register and went to Eng literature section to get information about the history of Eng literature 

That's was #1 strategy 

To know why you are reading 

Then I started to read the Context,Main headings & the summary to get a overview 

That's #2 strategy 

To read quickly for the main ideas 

Then I started to read  the important  points/Dates

And then I highlighted them

This strategy is also known as  Scim & Scan 

After that I started to get more details about the important/highlighted points 

That's #3 strategy 

To read more thoroughly 

Qno 2 

I think we should use all 3 of these strategies 

Bcz all these strategies are important like I have told earlier,if we ignore any strategy we wont accomplish in our reading goals 

I have been using the first & third strategies always for few years 

 As like whenever i start reading any book i keep an aim in my mind that why am i reading this book ?

For example last month i was reading a book known as 

"The 100" written by Michale H.Hart my aim was to know 

Ranking of the most influential persons in history.

And the strategy number 3 which was discussed in video 

That i always read slowly to gain ideas or datas in detail 

As like the above mentioned book "The 100" 

In which i read about personalities in detail 

 Such as i figured out their Date of birth, eduction, work, work place, theories etc.  

According to me  these two strategies are the best for me to use and will give me a precious result.

And i suggest to my peers to Follow above mentioned Strategies beacuse whenever anyone of you start reading any type of book and kept in your mind that why am i reading this book so you will get many ideas beacuse you know the aim of your reading and the second one is whenever you start reading books you have to read more slowly to get the details because it fruit full to read books slowly with details .will help you to know the best things about things.....

I often use the strategy of 1st which is taught in the video.that for what purpose i am Reading!  it has great impact on the reader!  for example when ever i  studies for exam. i focuses every sentence and spellings that i could have a better exam without mistakes and when ever i study for my knowledge i just make it to get the idea or thought from the books or written text. so your studying purpose have more impacts. i will suggest my peers too to use this strategy often along others which you think is better for you

As it is said that a reader is a leader so from this sentence we can understand the value of reading .it can improve our skill of learning ...we can get a lot of information from reading ...

Q 1...

I now why am I reading??

Sometimes I read easys to build up me information.. Sometimes I read novels for time pas .I also read story books...

Q.2..fast reading or skimming

Before a year   I use to read any taxt very fast and I understood it completely without searching for difficult words..but now I am so slow about reading. I do not use skimming while reading any taxt...

The strategy mentioned in the lesson I Often use is firstly, I Read the main points of the texts quickly. I do this whether It is important to read or not. Then I reach to a conclusion. Sometimes I read and sometimes I ignore. As we all know that time is precious while following this strategy it saves my time.

For example :

Like The reviews of the Book name "The conquest of happiness" by Bertrand Russell.

Yeah! You are thinking right, how can this outdated book provide a recipe of happiness and a good life. The same I was thinking and I was naïve to circumstance before I started reading. This book is not mere extra food for thought but also an idea for introspection. The book” conquest of happiness’ was written in 1930 by renowned western philosopher Bertrand Russell. The writer used the word “the conquest” because he urges that happiness is not a mere thing which happens, rather it is a lovely thing must be achieved through great efforts and sacrifice and good things comes to those who wait, who strive, conquer and seeks happiness.

The above texts not only convince me to read but forced me to read the whole book.

The strategy I should Use is Read More Thoroughly. Because this is the best way to memorize.  Gap always creates Problems even for Habitual readers

 Reading is a complex cognitive Process to derive meaning.

Success in this process is measued as reading Comprehension. The reading stratgies which I often use are following.

1)Strateg(Why you are reading )

 This question assist to know the message of book;it helpes the following objections when you are reading any difficult text(book).

1)Any one reads because he may need to have basic knowledge about that text(book)

2)someone is rading due intervons to  that text book(subject is realeated )

3) we can say that some one is  reading that he wants the standard information might be it is (assignments ,exam preparation ,Viva etc) as I am reading a book named

 " شاباش تم کر سکتے ھو"

Why am i reading? That's why i am reading this book there is a message and message is about dream that necessitude is not matter dream is matter and give the lesson of struggling and such works which are impossible. 

2)strategy (Read fastly)

This strategy  is useful and often I use it ;it is performed with the passage of time  and last time it helped me in QESCO test. I prepared myself through this strategy.In this strategy which I like and follow that is "skim"means  survey and through survey  you can learn many things in short time just reading chapter,headings,sub headings,contentis,captions,conslutions  and through "Scan" learn the key words(phrase,Acronym,numbers ) help of this both get the marginal information many step in 2 -3 minutes. It gives framework  which has been represented.

3)Strategy(Reading with slowly)

 The reader has also to work hard as writer.In this strategy you achieve and get new creativity and encounter new words and know them  naturally. It helps in writing and express your expression  that you can use when you  write. 

 I would like to suggest my all classmates  that follow first and this third strategy.when i used i stored many information in my note book which never can be forgotten and that knowledge will be available with you for a long time. 

Reading Difficult Texts :

# STRATEGY No:1 (WHY AM I READING) 

I am using all strategies to become a good writter and reader we all need to follow these three strategies.

When I was preparing for chemistry exam I opened the chemistry book to get information about chemistry and I am collecting allthe data and  informations about chemistry.

 Example of reading : 

An example of reading is when you look at a book and the words in it and understand the story.

# STRATEGY No : 2 ( SKIMMING AND SCANNIG ):

In second strategy we need to read the main points and main ideas and also main headings and study the summery of the topic to read quickly for the main ideas .

# STRATEGY No : 3 (READ MORE THOROUGHLY): 

The last but the most important strategy / method in this strategy we should need to read the whole book in this method / strategy we need to study depth. eyes need to move in a disciplined way when we applying this method we will able to understand the topic

My suggestion to all my classmates 

We should follow all the 3 strategies because they all are important and depend upon one and  another .

   In my point of view all strategies are useful for all of us to become good readers.

Being a reader the strategies which i often use are following

Strategy No (1)

(Why you're reading ?)

The question which helps me to know that why am i reading,or what i have to get from the book or text which i read.So, by having such questions. I reach my required purpose.

For example reading for exams, assignment &any presentation

Secondly, i follow

Strategy No(3) 

Read more slowly to get the detail 

This strategy i always use while i read any novel & historical book beacuse such books i read most slowly and in detail beacuse here i try to understand the history or story all with facts and figures.

Janat khan ,

I would like to suggest you strategy NO 2(Get a quick idea of the main points )  This strategy is very precious for you to save your time  because i am aware about you that you are always busy working here & there .

Secondly use Strategy No 1 (Why you're reading)

I am sure It will assist you to get the key points of any subject or chapter.

Question: Which of the mentioned reading strategies (discussed in the lesson) do you use more often? Discuss with examples. 

Answer: The reading strategies which I use (discussed in the lesson)  more often are as following:

The vary first strategy that I use more often is "Why am I reading". Because this idea gives the reason of reading. For instance: reading for information, So, if you are reading for the seek of information, than their is no need to focus on the sentence structure, terms, definition etc. The only thing you have to focus on is idea. Besides, if you’re reading for educational purpose means exam, assignment etc, than you have to focus on everything, I.e. terms, definitions, and difficult words. In a nutshell, knowing that why am I reading can give idea how to read.

The second strategy that I use always while reading is; “to read quickly for the main ideas”. For reading more in less time I always try to use this method. For example; reading headings, observing images, and  reading summaries. Besides, reading summaries give you the main idea of whole text in few lines. Looking on the benefits of the above mentioned strategies, I suggests to all my classmates to use them more often while reading.  

Replying on behalf of Khadija...

It was well informative video and the strategies discuss in the video were vary useful. As per the question the strategies which I use more often are:

The first strategy which use while reading is a quick look at content page. According to this strategy the reader try to find the topics for which is searching. The benefits which I observe from this method is that it save the readers precious time. Similarly, it also give you quick idea of the text. 

Skimming and scanning is the best strategy that I use always whenever I start reading anything... It is one of the ways to memories the information for a long time.

In conclusion, I suggest the skim and scan strategy to all of my fellows to use often when reading difficult text.

Following are the two best strategies that I use while reading any difficult text;

1. A brief look at the ''CONTENTS''.

         ( Why I apply this strategy a lot, because I choose the actual topic that I am searching for, and as it is mentioned in the lesson '' TIME IS PRECIOUS'', So I believe ''Reading the best with the least time passage would be the best option for a reader''

2. Reading ''CONCLUSIONS''.

        The second strategy that I very frequently use, is ''reading the conclusions'', because conclusions impart you the best information. The second strategy I apply usually while reading novels.
