A. How We Read?
We are able to improve our ability by the determination of reading and
listening purpose
We can divide reasons for reading and listening into two broad categories :
Instrumental : a large amount of reading and listening takes place because it will
us to achive some clear aim. E.g : we read a road sign so that we know where to
go.
Pleasurable : reading and listening takes place largely for pleasure. Ex : people
go to poetry readings or listen to Tak Radio

passage by in some way absorbing the overall picture.
In bottom – up, the doers focuse on individual words and phrase, and achieved understanding
by stringing these detailed elements.
B1. Language
That text with longer sentences and longer words will be more difficult to nderstand.

If the students havelow expectations of reading and listening, it will be our job to
persuade them, through our actions, to change these negative expectations into realistic
optimism.
