Question

How can you get the most information from a book? Here are some suggestions that can help you read effectively(有效地).

Read the whole thing.

When you're learning something by reading, it's more important to have a general idea than to understand every detail(細(xì)節(jié)). In fact, no matter how carefully you read, you won't remember or understand all of the details. So remembering the main points will be OK.

Decide how much time you will spend.

If you know that you have only six hours for a book, it'll be wise of you to adjust(調(diào)整) yourself. The more clearly you know your limits(時(shí)限), the more effective your reading will be. So never start to read without planning when to stop.

Have a purpose.

Before you begin, find out why you want to read this book. If you don't have reasons of your own, you can't learn much. After you start to read, try to think of four questions: Who is the writer? What are the book's opinions? What are the reasons? What are the conclusions(結(jié)論)?

Read it three times.

You'll get the most out of the book if you read it three times-fast-reading for general ideas, reading for understanding, and then reading for note-taking and remembering.
