What's a good way to read?

Reading depends on needs and interests, otherwise it will be boring, and the method is of course important. It's no use studying hard.

Some practical reading methods. If you can get used to it, you can not only reduce the test pressure, but also get twice the result with half the effort into more important knowledge.

First, replace memory with understanding.

As many people know, clear courses are easier to remember. But understanding is not actually an auxiliary memory-understanding is a substitute for memory. The theory of rote memorization is not only difficult to remember accurately: it doesn't help at all when needed. Understand the basic concepts and meanings of the theory, and you will suddenly feel that your memory is like a god. The reason is simple, you don't have to recite what you understand. However, the understanding of the theory has different depth and accuracy. The deeper the understanding, the more accurate it is, the clearer the memory, and the more handy it is to use it. Therefore, reading should be integrated-to understand the theoretical relationship between different key points; Be thorough-the evolution of concepts or principles should be clear.

It is easy to make remarkable progress in these areas, and students don't need to spend more time. As long as he can get rid of three bad habits, he will be completely different within a year.

The first bad habit is "crazy" copying notes in class. Notes are secondary, even dispensable. This is because taking notes has an irreparable disadvantage-it is too distracting when listening to lectures! It is not worth the loss to copy down what you don't understand and ignore the speaker's main points. I believe this is a bad habit of ordinary Hong Kong students. For example, several times I deliberately wrote obvious mistakes on the blackboard, but none of the more than 200 students found them. I just lowered my head and copied the mistakes in my notes.

Notes serve two purposes. (1) will understand the content and pay attention to the main points. But if you think that just remembering the main points will distract you, you should give up taking notes. Understand that the speaker's content will not be forgotten in a few days. Many speakers' information can be found in books, but what is not in books can be supplemented after class. The main difference between a teacher and a book is that the former is alive and the latter is dead. Class is mainly to learn the teacher's thinking and reasoning methods. If you don't understand in class and see too many students asking questions, you can write down the ambiguity in your notes and ask the teacher or classmates after class. In other words, it is more important to write down what you don't understand than what you already know.

The second bad habit is to look at every topic in the course separately, ignoring the relationship between topics, so the understanding can not be integrated. In order to cope with the exam, the students read each topic separately and memorize it by rote. When they see the test questions, no matter what they ask, as long as they seem to be related to a certain topic, they will "boil water" and hope to "bump into them"-this is the second most obvious example of bad habits.

To change this bad habit, after reading a topic, a chapter of a book, or even an independent section in a chapter, take a moment to think about the relationship between sections, chapters, or topics. A little knowledge of these necessary connections will make understanding advance by leaps and bounds. This is because in any academic scope, human beings know very little at all. When you look at it alone, you will feel too much and it is difficult to remember; Coherent together, know and remember much less. Any scholarship is composed of several units, and then it drives the ever-changing application. The better you learn, the more you know. If you ignore the coherence between topics, you won't get in the door.

The third bad habit mainly refers to college students, that is, when choosing courses, they just want to choose teachers who are relaxed or give beautiful lectures. In fact, after setting up a department, the course selection should be based on the teacher's profound knowledge, and nothing else is important. If you learn from a master, you will get an eleventh or a half, which is far better than learning from a mediocre person. This is because all kinds of disciplines separated from any academic field achieve the same goal through different routes. The growth of knowledge is to know similarities, not to seek differences. If a teacher doesn't have considerable skills, he can't inspire students to find a common theory among different disciplines.

Second, interest is ignited by the concentration of thoughts.

We all know that the subjects we are interested in will do better in the exam. But interest is not cultivated. Only when you always want to concentrate on one subject can you become interested. What can be cultivated is concentration. No matter any subject, no matter how far it is from your interest, as long as you can concentrate on it, your interest will be full.

A few hours in front of a book is not as good as a few minutes of concentration. Students who think they don't have enough study time are all because they don't pay enough attention. Even in college, it is enough to concentrate for two or three hours after class every day. Cultivating concentration is also very simple. First, allocate time-there is not much reading time, but it should be coherent. You shouldn't read when you know you will be disturbed. Second, try to leave your books when you are not going to study-"Hungry books" can strengthen your concentration when reading. Third, if you feel a little reluctant to read, then don't read at all, and wait until you are in a better mood-being tired of books is a taboo. Remember, as long as you can concentrate, reading takes very little time.

Put the watch on the table. Look at your watch before you start reading or doing your homework. If you find that you can often forget the existence of your watch for 30 minutes, it means that your concentration is already very small. If you can completely forget foreign objects 1 hour or more every time you study, you don't have to worry about inattention.

Third, asking is more important than answering.

The reason why many students are afraid to ask questions is that teachers or classmates think he is too superficial or stupid to make people laugh. But learning without asking is not real learning. The first golden rule of asking questions is to be thick-skinned, even if the questions are shallow, ask if you don't understand; No matter who can give you the answer, you can ask.

There are never too shallow questions. On the contrary, many important discoveries in the academic field are asked by three or more shallow questions. Academic progress is often made by punching cards blindly to kill masters. Many scholars who do advanced research want to teach, because young students can ask shallow questions, but a person who knows too much can't. Although I didn't ask too shallow questions, there were countless stupid questions. An important purpose of learning is to learn what problems are stupid or redundant. It is difficult to learn mystery without asking questions.

It is impossible for a teacher to spend a lot of time on each student just because there are many students. Serious students should be prepared before asking questions. This work is an important process in learning. Confucius put it well: "Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, but knowing!" The easiest way to distinguish between "know" and "don't know" is to be prepared before asking questions. There are roughly three steps in this preparation process-

First, problems can be divided into three categories-a, "what", b, "How to do it" (how? ), c, "why" (why). Students should first decide what kind of problem this is. Class a asks the facts; Class b question method; C-class question theory. As soon as the question is determined, students should immediately know where their "ignorance" is, so as to avoid confusion. If you want to ask more than one question, you should divide the questions into several categories. This can show that you don't know. Second, try to add features to the problem. In other words, the sharper the point you want to ask, the better. Third, before asking the teacher, students should ask themselves whether the answer to the question is easy to find in books. If so, don't spend the teacher's time. Generally speaking, use the above steps to send questions, and the answer is easy for you to find. If you still want to ask the teacher, the preparation before asking questions will make him feel that you are a child who is willing to teach.

This book is divided into three reading parts-general idea, details and main points.

Students sit down in front of the book, pick up the ruler and underline with colored strokes. I read it once, and every line was marked. This is destroying books, not reading. This book should be read in three parts.

The first reading is fast reading, reading the main ideas, but please know what the chapters you read are about. Fast reading means turning pages and skipping; Read the words instead of the whole sentence in order to get a general impression. Accustomed to it, the speed can be amazing. Reading the main idea, it is better to turn it over two or three times quickly than once. The second reading is to read slowly and read the details in order to understand the content. In the second reading, you can draw a question mark next to the page with a pencil, but other underscores or marks are not available. The third reading is optional reading, reading the key points. It is not until this last level that emphasis marks will be added, because which point is the key can only be selected after careful reading. The reason why you need to read it twice first is mainly because it is easy to choose the wrong key if you don't go through one fast and one slow.

In college, it is extremely important to choose books to read. A good book or article should be reread and reread; Ordinary fast reading is enough. First-class students in graduate schools tend to spend more time reading books.

Although the reading methods I suggested above are mainly for college students, most of them are also suitable for primary and secondary school students. Xiaohua needs a year or two to develop these reading habits, and you will find it really hard to treat others as humanitarianism for the pleasure of reading.

First of all, we should deal with the quantity and quality of reading. Reading should have quantitative requirements, because a person's growth requires extensive knowledge. At the same time, in the information age, there are more and more kinds and contents of book publishing, and the speed of book publishing is getting faster and faster, so it is very important to read more books. That's what ordinary people mean when they say that extensive reading can make you successful. Of course, you can't blindly pursue quantity in reading, and the method of swallowing dates and passing by is not desirable. Pay attention to the quality of reading, especially those books with high quality, high knowledge content and worth tasting. Read them carefully and understand them. I'm afraid some sentences or contents need to be memorized.

The above mentioned the basic requirements of reading methods. But different books have different reading methods. Mainly depends on whether these books are closely related to our interest in learning and future development. If the book is far away, you can skim it and get a general idea of the whole book. This reading method is called rough reading; The other is called deep reading, that is, on the basis of grasping the main idea of the content, you can have a deep understanding of the key content; The third is intensive reading. After understanding the key content, you can integrate all the parts to form an overall understanding, remember what you have learned and experience what you have learned. We can also associate, question and write down our experiences. In this way, you will gain more from reading.

Of course, good reading methods are not only the above three, but also five-step reading methods, such as general introduction, questioning, reading, retelling and reviewing. The "frame reading method" which sums up the knowledge in the book into a frame and puts appropriate content into it at any time during reading; And the "comparative reading method" of comparing several books with similar or opposite views; Try the "questioning reading method" of questioning the contents of the book while reading. In addition, you can also create a more suitable reading method according to your actual situation during reading.
