So my first question for you today is
29
84520
2620
所以我第一個今日畀你嘅問題係
01:27
do you like reading English texts?
30
87200
2980
你鍾唔鍾意讀英文文字啊?
01:31
If your answer's yes,
31
91200
1820
如果你答鍾意,
01:33
what English text do you like to read?
32
93140
2740
咁你鍾意讀乜野英文文章呢?
01:36
Or even better,
33
96120
1340
甚或更好嘅話,
01:37
what English book are you reading right now?
34
97460
3620
你依家讀緊乜野英文書啊?
01:41
I'd love to see some recommendations
35
101520
2480
我好想睇下喺留言度會有啲推薦書籍
01:44
in the comments so if you've got a good one,
36
104000
2020
如果你搵到本正書,
01:46
share it below!
37
106060
1400
係下面分享!
01:47
But if your answer to this question is no,
38
107620
3240
但係如果你個答案係唔鍾意,
01:51
well why do you think that is?
39
111240
1920
咁又點解你會咁覺得呢?
01:53
Maybe you don't really love reading
40
113940
3040
可能你唔係真係咁鍾意閱讀
01:57
even in your own native language.
41
117160
2320
就算係對你自己個母語嘅文字都係咁。
01:59
Well then, reading in English is probably going to be
42
119800
3080
係咁呢, 讀英文實變成
02:02
even more painful, right?
43
122920
1760
更加惡頂, 係咪?
02:05
But maybe you prefer watching movies or
44
125120
2640
之不過你可能寧願睇下電影或者
02:07
listening to podcasts - something like that.
45
127760
2060
聽下播音 - 諸如此類。
02:10
Perhaps you get frustrated because you feel like
46
130360
2460
或者你覺得好頹因為你覺得
02:12
reading's a chore.
47
132820
1440
閱讀直頭係苦差。
02:14
And you really need to improve your skills
48
134680
2040
而你又真係好需要改善你啲技巧
02:16
before you can start actually enjoying reading.
49
136720
2600
就算喺你可以真正享受閱讀之前。
02:19
Fair enough!
50
139540
1060
好公平嘅!
02:20
Maybe you're an active person and you just don't like
51
140940
2400
可能你係個好動嘅人 而你淨係唔鍾意
02:23
sitting still and reading a book, right?
52
143340
2160
坐定定咁讀本書, 係咪?
02:25
Well that's
53
145520
1220
咁唔係一個理由, 因為
02:26
not really an excuse because
54
146820
2060
咁唔係一個理由, 因為
02:28
Audible allows you to listen to books wherever you are.
55
148880
3300
Audible畀你去到邊都可以聽書。
02:32
I listen to my books now because
56
152180
2060
我依家都聽緊自己本書, 因為
02:34
I don't like to sit still either!
57
154240
1800
我都唔鍾意坐定定!
02:36
So I listen when I go for a run.
58
156040
1800
咁樣我跑步時會聽。
02:37

My first tip
109
271160
980
我第一個貼士
04:32
is to read more!
110
272300
2340
係去睇多啲!
04:35
Alright that one might seem completely obvious
111
275020
2920
好啦呢個睇落同阿媽係女人一樣明顯
04:38
but I had to say it!
112
278360
1200
但係我都要講!
04:39
You're not going to improve your reading without
113
279560
2540
你唔去閱讀嘅話就咪使旨意改善閱讀,
04:42
reading, right?
114
282420
1120
啱唔啱?
04:44
That's the same for so many things in life, right?
115
284360
2840
人生好多野都一樣係咁架啦, 係咪?
04:47
The more you do it,
116
287200
1000
你越做得多,
04:48
the easier it gets.
117
288480
1940
嗰樣野就越易。
依家可能開頭要你用啲力去做, 係咪?
04:50
Now this might take you a little effort at first, right?
118
290520
3860
04:54
To get to that point, you might need to say to yourself:
119
294380
3100
要做得到, 你要同自己咁講:
04:57
Alright every day,
120
297480
1460
好啊~每日,
04:59
at six o'clock in the evening, I'm going to spend
121
299080
2260
喺夜晚6點鐘, 我會花
05:01
fifteen minutes reading.
122
301340
1820
15分鐘去閱讀。
05:03
So you do it every night.
123
303160
1380
咁你晚晚都做。
05:04
You know what they say? It takes
124
304960
1860
你知佢地點講嘛? 只要
05:07
twenty-one days to make something a habit, right?
125
307040
2600
21日就可以成習慣, 係咪?
05:09
So if you do it consistently
126
309640
1840
咁你持之以恆咁做
05:11
for twenty-one days
127
311560
1400
21日
05:12
you'll have a good chance of bringing
128
312960
2300
你好大機會放咗
個每日一讀嘅行為入你嘅生活。
05:15
daily reading practice into your life.
129
315300
2640
05:18
And it can help
130
318640
960
同時咁亦有用,
05:19
you know, to create a little ritual
131
319600
2340
你知啦, 去整個小小儀式
05:21
around the activity, so
132
321940
1700
圍繞個活動,所以
05:23
do it on the train on the way to work or
133
323960
3240
所以返工搭地鐵時做
05:27
go and lie in the sunshine.
134
327200
1800
或者去太陽下攤喺度做。
05:29
That's what I do!
135
329020
1500
我就係咁做啦!
05:30
I've got a couple of Spanish readers
136
330560
1900
我有幾個講西班牙語嘅書
05:32
and I always go down to the beach and practise there
137
332460
2880
而我成日會走落去沙灘嗰度練習
05:35
and it is so relaxing,
138
335340
2280
真係超放鬆,
05:37
it's one of my favourite times of day.
139
337700
2000
呢樣係我一日裡面 其中一個最愛嘅時段。
05:39
Now there's a good chance that you're thinking:
140
339700
2420
呢刻好大可能你會諗:
05:44
But what should I read?
141
344240
1820
但係我讀乜好啊?
05:46
Well
142
346580
740
05:47
choose what you read carefully.
143
347620
2160
小心咁揀你要讀嘅野。
05:49
The easy part of this decision is just choosing
144
349780
3060
落呢個決定最簡單就係
05:52
topic or a genre that you like, right?
145
352840
3400
揀你鍾意嘅題材或範疇, 係咪?
05:56

感傷,言情類小說
06:00

360520
800
睇囉!
06:01
Quit thinking that something has to be educational
149
361660
3440
咪再諗住一定要係啲好教育性嘅野
06:05
for you to learn, right? It's just not true.
150
365100
2580
先畀你去學,好冇? 根本就唔啱。
06:07
If you love reading comics,
151
367720
2120
如果你鍾愛睇漫畫,
06:09
that's fine too!
152
369980
900
都沒問題喎!
06:10
Well, try and choose a comic that's got
153
370880
3100
好,試下搵本漫畫有
06:13
a little more text in it, right? A little more reading.
154
373980
2920
多啲啲字嘅,ok? 讀多少少字。

But the story lines in those books,
158
384920
2320
但係呢啲書嘅故仔,
06:27
in those types of books, are often
159
387320
2160
喺呢類書, 通常都係
06:29
fun and entertaining and there's images that help you
160
389860
3400
得意同歡樂啲, 同時有圖畫幫到你
06:33
to kind of engage in the story as well.
161
393260
2260
去某程度上更投入個故仔添。
06:35
It's going to make your reading practice much less
162
395680
3060
咁會令你嘅閱讀訓練唔洗咁
06:38
of a chore, right?
163
398740
1320
受苦受難咁, 係咪?
06:40
Nobody wants to drag themselves through a book
164
400140
3820
冇人鍾意逼自己啃一本書
06:43
or a novel - a massive novel.
165
403960
2200
或一本小說 - 厚過枕頭嘅小說。
06:46
Especially one that they don't like.
166
406160
1960
特別係嗰種你唔鍾意嘅。
06:48
Or that's boring, right?
167
408120
1540
或者是嗰隻悶死嘅, 係咪?
06:49
There's just so much material out there
168
409900
2940
出面咁多野可以畀你睇
06:52
for you to read that there is absolutely no reason
169
412840
2800
咁根本無理由話
06:55
to be reading something that you're not into, right?
170
415640
2300
去睇啲你完全唔投入嘅書, 係咪?
06:58
Pick something that interests you,
171
418380
2000
揀啲你有興趣嘅,
07:00
whether it's the sports section of the newspaper or a
172
420380
3040
不論係報紙嘅體育版
07:03
mystery novel or
173
423420
2060
定係懸疑小說
07:05
a nonfiction book about plants,
174
425560
2400
定係有關植物嘅非小說類書,
07:08
it doesn't matter at all.
175
428040
1880
都冇乜所謂。
07:10
But what does matter is that you enjoy
176
430140
2680
但最有所謂係 你要享受你讀嘅書
07:12
what you're reading so that it encourages
177
432820
2340
咁就鼓勵你
07:15
you to do it more, right?
178
435160
1560
去讀更多, 係咪?
07:16
One really common problem that I see
179
436720
2160
一個常見問題
我喺我學生度發現嘅
07:18
among my students is that they're
180
438880
1740
係佢地太急進想讀高深書籍, 係咪?
07:20
too ambitious with their reading material, right?
181
440620
3200
07:24
A pre-intermediate student reading Jane Austen novels,
182
444060
3760
一個初階學生去讀珍•奧斯汀嘅小說,
07:27
I mean, I think that's really a form of torture.
183
447980
3120
我想講, 我諗咁直頭係一種折磨。
07:31
Right? 'Pride and Prejudice' has extremely
184
451240
3580
係咪?‘傲慢與偏見’有極為
07:34
advanced vocabulary and
185
454820
1940
高深嘅用字
07:36
sarcasm and
186
456820
1920
同諷刺
07:38
complex sentence structures.
187
458740
1720
以及複雜嘅句子結構。
07:40
It could be really hard work to try and get to the
188
460460
3320
咁真係要好艱苦嘅事去嘗試
07:43
end of a book like that.
189
463780
1680
同埋捱一本咁嘅書到尾。
07:45
So you need to be
190
465680
1520
所以你要睇嘅係
07:47
looking at texts that are the right level for you,
191
467500
2800
嗰啲啱你程度嘅文字
07:50
that help you to get through them.
192
470300
1620
咁先幫到你讀得完。
07:51
And if you're a Jane Austen fan,
193
471920
2540
同埋如果你係一個珍•奧斯汀迷,
07:54
well, I've got some recommendations in the description
194
474460
3300
咁,我有啲推介放咗喺詳情度
07:58
because her novels are so popular that they've been
195
478100
2840
因為佢嘅小說好受歡迎
08:00
adapted for teenage readers
196
480940
1680
所以版本有遷就青少年嘅
08:02
and intermediate level students as well,
197
482620
2100
同中階程度學生添,
08:04
so this could be perfect for you.
198
484720
2320
所以呢啲就啱曬你啦。
08:07
I'm going to add the link in the description.
199
487040
2080
我會喺詳情加入連結。
08:09
And to be completely honest, the vocabulary
200
489120
2600
同埋老實啲講, 喺書裡面為年輕人寫嘅字
08:11
in books written for teenagers and younger people is
201
491720
3080
同埋老實啲講, 喺書裡面為年輕人寫嘅字
08:15
usually extremely useful for everyday English use, right?
202
495020
4440
係極為好用嘅日常英文, 係咪?
08:19
So don't let your ego get in the way between you and
203
499680
3360
所以咪畀你嘅自尊阻礙你
08:23
a fantastic read, right?
204
503220
1920
獲得一個美妙嘅閱讀經驗, 係咪?
08:25
Now I also want to mention to be
205
505160
2320
依家我都想提喺呢度
08:27
true to yourself here.
206
507620
2060
你必須對自己誠實
08:29
If you just can't stand reading pages and pages
207
509680
3480
如果你就係無法一頁頁
08:33
of text in a novel,
208
513160
1380
成版字咁讀小說,
08:34
that's cool!
209
514900
880
咁型!
08:36
Read a daily blog post instead or a magazine article.
210
516140
3520
去睇篇日更博客文 或者一篇雜誌文章代替。
08:39
It really doesn't matter what you read,
211
519860
3000
你睇啲乜真係冇所謂,
08:43
as long as you're enjoying it.
212
523020
2000
只要你享受睇佢。
08:45
Now if you like to read but you don't want to lug around
213
525020
2560
如果你本來就鍾意睇書
08:47
a notebook or a dictionary with you,
214
527620
2400
但係你唔想攬住本筆記或字典
08:50
then an e-reader is a really good option, right?
215
530020
3720
咁一個電子閱覽器就係個好好嘅選擇, 係咪?
08:53
I just have Kindle downloaded on my phone
216
533740
2340
我淨係喺手機下載咗Kindle
08:56
so all of my books come with me everywhere that I go.
217
536080
3000
咁我所有書都跟住我 去到邊跟到邊。
08:59
And this makes your practice really easy, right?
218
539120
4160
同埋咁會令你嘅練習好容易, 係咪?
09:03
You've got books with you all the time.
219
543440
2560
你任何時候都有書喺手。
09:06
And the cool thing is that e-readers help you to translate
220
546000
3380
同埋最正係個電子閱覽器
幫你去好簡便咁翻譯啲字或其他野,
09:09
words or things really simply, just by
221
549380
2800
只係要掂下螢幕個字。
09:12
touching the word on the screen.
222
552180
1480
09:13
So that could be a good option and make it a little
223
553660
3100
所以呢個係個好選擇
同時令投入閱讀練習變得容易。
09:16
easier to get into a reading practice.
224
556760
2800
09:19
As I've mentioned,
225
559720
980
正如我提過嘅,
09:20
I've got a list of book recommendations
226
560700
2200
我有一個推介書單
09:22
in the description below
227
562900
1380
喺下面詳情嗰度
09:24
and if you still don't know what to read,
228
564280
2240
而假如你仲係唔知讀啲乜,
09:26
then here's another one of my favourite tips.
229
566520
2840
咁呢個係我另一個最好嘅貼士。
09:29
Read a book that you've already read
230
569620
1900
讀一本你曾經睇過嘅書
09:31
in your own language.
231
571520
1980
不過之前係睇母語。
09:33
Right? Reading a book that you've already read once
232
573980
2700
係咪?去讀一本已經睇過一次嘅書
09:36
or even a few times in your own language
233
576680
2940
甚或已讀過幾次母語版本
09:39
can eliminate a lot of the hard work,
234
579880
2680
可以去除好多艱難嘅工作,
09:42
painful work,
235
582800
1240
一啲痛苦嘅工作,
09:44
when you're reading a book in English, right?
236
584040
2000
當你去讀本書嘅英文版嗰時, 係咪?
09:46
Firstly, you already know that you'll like the book, right?
237
586040
3220
首先,你已經知自己會鍾意本書, 係咪?
09:49
And secondly, you don't have to worry about
238
589520
2940
然後,你唔使擔心誤解咗啲乜野
09:52
misunderstanding something or words that you're
239
592580
3740
或者解錯啲你唔確定嘅字義,
09:56
unsure of, it doesn't mean that you have to stop reading
240
596320
3360
咁唔等於你必須要暫停閱讀
09:59
and look them up so that you understand
241
599680
1940
然後查清楚咁先明白個故仔,
10:01
the story, right?
242
601620
940
10:02
You'll be able to fill in the gaps
243
602560
1960
係咪?
你有能力填補呢啲理解上嘅窿
10:04
in your understanding
244
604520
1520
你有能力填補呢啲理解上嘅窿
10:06
from your previous knowledge.
245
606180
2080
用你記得嘅情節。
10:08
So since you already know the story,
246
608260
1980
所以由於你已知道個故仔講乜,
10:10
you won't get stuck on the details, right?
247
610240
2180
你唔會卡住喺啲細節位, 係咪?
10:12
You'll be able to focus on learning
248
612440
2320
你會有能力去集中喺
10:14
new words and expressions
249
614860
2000
學新字同表達上
10:16
without having to look up all of the in-between words
250
616860
3340
而毋須查曬全部內裡嘅字
10:20
which is really great for morale.
251
620200
3120
呢樣係對於閱讀心情非常好嘅。
10:23
And generally just makes the experience
252
623380
1840
同埋通常是會令經驗更多一點享受
10:25
a bit more enjoyable
253
625220
1440
同埋通常是會令經驗更多一啲享受
10:26
which is what we're all about!
254
626660
1380
呢個係我地想提出嘅事!
10:28
And you don't have to get stuck on the details.
255
628560
3200
然後你唔使被啲細節卡住。
10:31
It's great to test yourself and to look up words
256
631940
2840
有時去考下自己同埋查下啲字
10:34
and to read out loud sometimes.
257
634780
2080
同埋大聲讀出係好嘅。
10:36
If you try to understand every single word in the book,
258
636860
3240
假如你試著去理解書上每一個字,
10:40
you might never finish it, right?
259
640500
2240
你好可能永遠睇唔完, 係咪?
10:42
It's going to be a lot of work to get there.
260
642740
1860
咁要好多工夫先做到。
10:44
You know, you want to make sure that you understand
261
644600
2080
你明啦,你想肯定自己明白
10:46
the main story line,
262
646680
1520
主要嘅故事線,
10:48
and if you aren't sure of a word or two,
263
648260
2700
而你對一兩個字嘅意義無乜把握,
10:51
but you understand the general idea of the sentence,
264
651160
3500
但係你理解嗰句嘅大意,
10:54
then you can try and guess the meaning of the word
265
654780
2860
跟著你可以試下估個字嘅意思
10:57
and move on, you don't have to know
266
657640
2120
然後讀落去,
你唔使知曬所有野!
10:59
absolutely everything!
267
659960
1680
11:02
And that's true, even when I read books in English,
268
662040
2960
同埋呢樣係真嘅, 就算係我讀英文嘅書,
11:05
there will be words that I don't recognise or
269
665000
2080
都會有我唔認得嘅字
11:07
words that I don't use that often,
270
667100
2240
或者係我好少用嘅,
11:09
words that are used by Americans that we don't
271
669500
3040
一啲美國人會用而我地呢度
11:12
really use that much here,
272
672540
1580
真係好少用嘅字,
11:14
but I don't have to stop and look up the meaning
273
674120
2420
但係我不使暫停特登去查每個字義。
11:16
of every word.
274
676540
1160
但係我不使暫停特登去查每個字義。
我淨係,你明啦,
11:18
I just, you know,
275
678040
1500
11:19
read through the story, try to piece it together.
276
679540
3220
照睇個故仔,試下拼湊埋啲情節。
11:23
Unless it's something that is really, really, crucial
277
683180
4080
除非係一啲非常非常關鍵嘅情節
11:27
or important to the story,
278
687380
2500
或對個故仔好緊要嘅野,
11:30
I don't need to know the exact meaning.
279
690120
1900
否則我唔使一定要知個精準意義。
11:32
Now for you as an English learner,
280
692180
2240
依家對作為英文學生嘅你黎講,
11:34
if there are too many unknown words on the page,
281
694720
3120
假如一版紙上有太多你唔識嘅生字,
11:37
and you really don't have a good idea of
282
697840
2080
而你真係連個故仔講乜都唔知,
11:39
what's happening in the story,
283
699920
1520
而你真係連個故仔講乜都唔知,
11:41
then it's possible that this text is too advanced for you.
284
701640
4480
咁可能呢啲文字對你黎講太深。
11:46
So try reading something with less unknown words first.
285
706300
3860
咁就試下讀啲少啲生字嘅野先。 係咪?
11:50
Right? If a word seems really important
286
710420
2440
如果有個字似乎好緊要
11:52
or really interesting,
287
712860
1580
或者好有趣,
11:54
but you've still got a bit of an idea of what's
288
714440
2000
但係你仲可以理解到個故仔講乜,
11:56
going on in the story,
289
716440
1480
但係你仲可以理解到個故仔講乜,
11:58
then just circle it
290
718020
1280
咁就圈住隻字先
11:59
and move on, you can come back to it
291
719300
2040
然後讀落去,你可以遲下返轉頭
12:01
and look it up later.
292
721340
1300
再查返呢隻字。
12:02
Don't let it stop you.
293
722640
1300
咪畀佢站住你。
12:04
Okay so the first tips that we went through
294
724100
2440
好啦咁第一個貼士我地學咗嘅

297
731740
4440
然後墮入書本故事 並真係集中享受呢趟旅程。
12:16
the journey. As we said before,
298
736180
2060
就如我之前所講,
12:18
reading in general is already going to be
299
738680
2920
閱讀本身就會
12:21
improving your English skills, right?
300
741600
2100
改善你嘅英語技能, 係咪?
12:24
But if you want to take a more proactive
301
744380
2820
不過如果你想更加積極
12:27
approach to reading,
302
747200
1300
嘅方式去閱讀,
12:28
then the next few tips are going to help you to push
303
748500
3180
咁跟住落黎幾個貼士會幫你
12:31
your English skills a little further.
304
751680
2180
更加推進你嘅英文能力。
12:34
Read out loud.
305
754200
960
大聲讀。
12:35
One of the most effective ways to learn
306
755720
3120
其中一個最有效嘅方法去
12:38
anything is to combine different styles of learning
307
758840
3180
學任何野就係結合唔同學習方式
12:42
right? This is how we supercharge learning.
308
762020
2700
係咪? 呢個就係我們出超必嘅學法啦。
12:44
So for example, if you are reading something
309
764780
3460
咁舉個例呀, 假如你睇緊本書
同時又聽埋本書嘅有聲書,
12:48
while listening to it,
310
768240
1520
12:49
so choosing your favourite book and then
311
769980

咁就去揀本你鍾意嘅書

所以搵到你鍾意嗰本書嘅機會好大。
13:01
But then you could take it one step further. Read it
315
781580
4020
不過跟住你可以更進一步。
聽書時讀埋出聲
13:06
while you're listening to it
316
786020
1920
13:08
and say the words at the same time.
317
788080
2640
同埋一齊講嗰啲字。
13:12
Doing all of this is supercharging your learning.
318
792480
4100
做呢啲野就係出超必咁學野啦。
13:16
There are so many good things that are happening
319
796580
2500
咁樣可以同時有好多好嘅效果出黎。
13:19
here at once. Your mind's taking in information
320
799080
2820
你個腦由多方面汲取緊資訊,
13:21
in multiple ways,
321
801900
1340
你個腦由多方面汲取緊資訊,
13:23
your muscles in your mouth are remembering how to
322
803440
3900
你口部嘅肌肉記憶緊點去發音
13:27
pronounce or how to make the sounds correctly
323
807340
2660
或者點去令個意準
13:30
because you're listening to them at the same time.
324
810000
2540
因為你同時聽住隻字。
13:32
Now this might not be the best option if you are
325
812540
3860
不過有時咁未必啱用, 譬如你喺圖書館度睇書
13:36
reading in a quiet library or on a bus on the way to work,
326
816480
4020
或者係搭緊巴士返工, 諸如此類啦。
13:40
that kind of thing. But you'll find a way to make it work!
327
820500
2460
之但係你實有計做到嘅!
13:42
I'm sure of it.
328
822960
880
我肯定。
13:43
My last tip is to test yourself.
329
823840
3600
我最後一個貼士係 考你自己。
13:47
I've given you quite a few tips already today
330
827760
2000
我今日都畀咗幾個貼士啦
13:49
but I want to give you a tip that's going to help you
331
829760
2560
但係我仲想畀個貼士會幫你
13:52
take your reading from pleasure into study.
332
832320
3420
將閱讀由樂趣提升至鑽研。
13:55
And there's a time and a place for this, right?
333
835740
2280
而依家仲有時間咁做, 係咪?
13:58
Sometimes we just want to relax and unwind,
334
838020
2840
有時我地淨係想放鬆下同抖下,
14:01
but other times you might be ready to like
335
841360
2540
不過有時你會準備好
14:03
roll up your sleeves and really dive in and understand
336
843900
3120
好似勒高衫袖然後全情投入
同埋想明白到底呢個語言點用。
14:07
how the language is being used.
337
847040
2080
14:09
So when you're in the mood,
338
849700
1480
咁嗰時我地著曬火,
14:11
test yourself.
339
851360
1040
考驗下自己。
14:12
Even if you're not reading next to a teacher
340
852700
1980
就算你唔係喺老師隔離睇書
14:14
it doesn't mean that you can't pause
341
854680
2120
都唔代表你無法停落黎
14:17
to ask yourselves questions about the text
342
857100
2960
去向自己發問有關段文字嘅問題
14:20
and check that you've understood it correctly, right?
343
860060
2240
然後檢驗下你有正確咁理解佢, 係咪?
14:22
So
344
862840
620
咁所以
14:23
one way to do this is to open a book at a random page,
345
863460
3660
一個可行嘅方法就係求其打開書嘅一頁,
14:27
read a paragraph,
346
867780
1200
讀一段文字,
14:29
close the book,
347
869460
1420
合埋本書,
14:31
write down some of the key points that you remember
348
871260
2940
寫低你記得嘅關於呢段嘅重點
14:34
from that paragraph
349
874200
1120
寫低你記得嘅關於呢段嘅重點
14:35
and then go back and study it in detail.
350
875660
2900
然後開返嗰頁去仔細研究段文字。
14:38
Did you miss anything important?
351
878560
1700
睇下你有冇漏咗啲重要嘅野呢?
14:40
This is a really good way to practise
352
880800
1700
呢個堅係好好嘅方法
14:42
your comprehension skills,
353
882500
1800
去訓練你嘅閱讀理解能力,
14:44
even if you're on your own,
354
884420
1760
即使係得你一個人,
14:46
it is possible for you to do this.
355
886180
1920
你都一樣做得到。
14:48
There might be a word
356
888100
1240
段文可能有隻字
14:49
that you've not have heard of before.
357
889340
1780
你見都未見過。
14:51
You don't know the meaning of it.
358
891280
1620
你唔知個字點解。
14:52
But instead of looking it up straight away,
359
892900
2340
但唔係就咁即刻查隻字點解,
14:55
look at the words around it and try and guess
360
895300
2880
反而睇下上文下理啲字然後估
14:58
what the meaning is before you check.
361
898180
2240
查字典之前估下個意思。
15:00
Maybe you know the word,
362
900480
1600
又或者你識隻字,
15:02
but you haven't seen it used in that context before, right?
363
902240
4100
但就係未見過佢咁樣用, 係咪?
15:06
So look it up.
364
906400
1420
咁就要查下。
15:08
Try writing a sentence with this new definition.
365
908060
3220
試下用呢個新意思寫個句子。
15:11
These types of questions that you ask yourself
366
911280
3140
呢啲你用黎問自己嘅問題
15:14
are going to help you check your understanding
367
914420
2340
係會幫你檢驗自己有幾明白
15:16
and then also go a little deeper into the text.
368
916760
3140
仲可以更深入去了解段文字。
15:19
And really make sure that you've understood it correctly.
369
919900
2560
同埋真係可以令你確定有正確明白內容。
15:22
