نکاتی در مورد مهارت خواندن در زبان انگلیسی

http://pnu-club.com/imported/mising.jpg

همین الان که این متن را می خوانید ذهنتان در حالت بسیار فعالی قرار دارد؛درست است که نویسنده کار سختی (نوشتن)انجام داده است.اما خواندن یک متن هم کارهای زیادی را شامل میشود که ذهنی هستند.وقتی متنی را می خوانید باید این کارها را انجام دهید:

در ذهنتان مطلب مورد نظر را تجسم کنید.

سعی کنید منظور اصلی نویسنده را بفهمید.

در مورد درستی یا نادرستی مطالبی که می خوانید فکر کنید.



فواید خواندن

وقتی یک زبان خارجی می آموزید گوش کردن،صحبت کردن و نوشتن مهارت های مهمی هستند.اما خواندن نیز می تواند خیلی با اهمیت باشد.به طوری که حتی باعث تقویت مهارت های زبانی دیگر هم می شود :

یادگیری لغت به طور ضمنی

شما معمولا هنگام خواندن متن با لغات جدیدی روبرو می شوید، اگر متنی که می خواهید لغات جدید زیادی دارد این متن مناسب سطح شما نیست بهتر است از متن های ساده تر شروع کنید.مثلا پنج لغت نا آشنا در هر صفحه مناسب است.این لغات کم را به راحتی یاد خواهید گرفت.لازم نیست برای معنی همه لغات به فرهنگ لغت مراجعه کنید ؛ معنی بعضی از لغات را می توانید از بقیه متن بفهمید.(Guessing meaning from context )

یادگیری الگوهای نوشتن

وقتی متنی می خوانید،با ساختار جملات و عبارت ها آشنا می شوید.یعنی از همین ساختارها می توانید الگو بگیرید و در نوشتن استفاده کنید.

سرعت در خواندن

با هر سرعتی که راحت تر هستید بخوانید؛می توانید یک صفحه را در ده دقیقه بخوانید یا در نیم ساعت .این کاملا بستگی به شما دارد.ولی وقتی صحبت می کنید یا گوش می دهید این انتخاب سرعت به راحتی ممکن نیست.این یکی از فواید بزرگ خواندن است که افراد می توانند با هر سرعتی که می خواهند متون را بخوانند.

مطالبی را بخوانید که علاقه دارید

اگر به متن انگلیسی که برای خواندن انتخاب کرده اید علاقه داشته باشید خواندن برای شما بسیار لذت بخش خواهد بود.مثلا اگر می خواهید در مورد فوتبال بخوانید چرا اخبار انگلیسی مربوط به فوتبال را نخوانید با این کار هم اطلاعات کسب خواهید کرد و همزمان زبان انگلیسیتان را تقویت خواهید کرد.

پنج نکته در مورد خواندن (Reading)

http://pnu-club.com/imported/mising.jpg

نکته 1 : متنی را بخوانید که مناسب سطح شما است .اگر هر سه کلمه که می خوانید مجبور باشید به فرهنگ لغت مراجعه کنید ،به زودی از این کار دلسرد خواهید شد.

نکته 2 : لغات نا آشنا را ثبت کنید .بهترین روش ثبت کردن لغات استفاده از جعبه لایتنر است.

نکته 3 : در دوره های منظم و کوتاه بخوانید.مثلا اگر هر روز پنج دقیقه مطالعه کنید بهتر است از اینکه در یک روز دو ساعت مطالعه کنید.

نکته 4 : وسایل لازم را فراهم کنید: یک ماژیک برای هایلایت کردن کلمات مشکل،فرهنگ لغت،دفترچه یادداشت لغات یا فیش های جعبه لایتنر،یک خودکار برای نوشتن کلمات جدید

نکته 5 : کتاب،مجله و متنی را انتخاب کنید که به آن علاقه دارید.

The plum trees in my backyard are in full bloom

http://pnu-club.com/imported/2013/02/36.png
The plum trees in my backyard are in full bloom.
Against a blue sky and green grass, the white flowers are beautiful,
but we have to enjoy this time while it lasts because the petals usually fall to the ground within a week of opening up.



Normally, these trees don't fully blossom until mid-to- late April, but spring came early this year.
The bees are out today, and there are even a few butterflies hovering over the flowers.


http://pnu-club.com/imported/2013/02/37.png




These trees have a very soft fragrance.
You have to press your nose up against the flowers to smell their sweet perfume.
The large, ornamental plum tree nearby has a stronger scent, but it doesn't produce any fruit.
These trees will bear fruit in the middle of summer.
The skin of the fruit is a little tart, which contrasts with the firm, sweet orange flesh.




Last year we didn't get any plums from these trees.
Birds stole the ones that reached ripeness, and the others fell to the ground.
It was a bad year for plums.
I think it was because of the weather.
This year we look forward to a good harvest and a lot of juicy fruit.
For now, we can enjoy their beauty.

Vocabulary

bloom: flowers on a tree or a plant.
blossom: flower
flesh: this word describes the inside of the fruit past the skin.

juicy: full of water and sweetness
petal: the colored part of the flower that is similar to a leaf. Petals fall off of the flower when it finishes blossoming.
