Extensive Reading

ការអានអត្ថបទវែងនិងស្មុគស្មាញ

C1 reading requires stamina and strategy. You must navigate dense information efficiently.

នៅក្នុងអត្ថបទកម្រិតខ្ពស់ ការស៊ូទ្រាំ និងយុទ្ធសាស្ត្រគឺជាគន្លឹះសំខាន់។

ការកត់ត្រាចំណារពន្យល់

draw The Strategy Writing notes, keywords, and questions in the margins to stay engaged. ការសរសេរកំណត់ចំណាំ និងសំណួរនៅតាមរឹមទំព័រ ដើម្បីរក្សាការផ្ដោតអារម្មណ៍។

warning The Linear Trap!

Do not read a 20-page report like a novel.

(អន្ទាក់នៃការអានតាមលំដាប់តាំងពីដើមដល់ចប់ អានមួយពាក្យម្តងៗដោយមិនបានមើលរចនាសម្ព័ន្ធរួម។ អ្នកនឹងអស់កម្លាំងមុនពេលអានចប់!)

Teacher, I lose focus after 5 pages of academic reading. What do I do?

That is very common, Sovan! You need to "chunk" the reading process. Use the Pomodoro technique: Read actively for 25 minutes, annotate the margins, and then step away for 5 minutes. Don't try to read it all at once! timer

How do I annotate effectively? My whole page is just covered in yellow highlighter.

If everything is highlighted, nothing is highlighted! Stop coloring. Instead, use a pen to write a 1-3 word summary of each paragraph in the margin. It forces your brain to actually process the information. edit_note

Do I need to understand every single vocabulary word in a C1 text to get the main idea?

Absolutely not! Use context clues. Only stop to look up a word if it is critical to the main thesis, or if the author keeps repeating it over and over. Otherwise, keep moving! fast_forward
