花了那的多時間準備多益考試、讀了那麼多書，有沒有意識到可能你的多益閱讀方法一直是錯誤的呢？

是否很容易像小孩子那樣逐字逐句閱讀？是否在默讀的時候同樣想著另外的事情？

建議大家這些錯誤的多益閱讀習慣可以用以下多益補習班推薦的方法來糾正多益閱讀習慣。

糾正錯誤的多益閱讀習慣 Breaking Poor Reading Habits

Habit 1: Reading word by word
 
This is how children are taught to read, but when you concentrate[集中] on separate words you often miss the overall concept of what is being said. People who read each word as a distinct[不同的] unit comprehend[理解] less than those who read faster by “chunking[組成語塊]” words together in blocks.
 
Solution:
 
Speed reading involves reading blocks of words at one time and comprehending the meaning of the word group. Think of viewing a digital[數字的] image. There are millions of pixels[圖元] that only make sense when they are seen together. In the same way, our brains can comprehend ideas better when it takes in a group of words at one time.
 
Practice expanding the number of words that you read at a time. You may also find that you can increase the number of words read by holding the text a little further from your eyes. The more words you can read in each block, the faster you will read!

錯誤的多益閱讀習慣1：逐字逐句閱讀
 
▶️ 這是教小孩子閱讀的方法。可是當你將注意力集中於個別字詞時，通常會錯過閱讀材料的整體意思。將每個單字作為獨立個體來閱讀的人不如那些將單字組成語塊來閱讀的人讀得快、理解得深。
 
糾正方案：快速閱讀包括每次讀取語塊及理解片語的意思。把這想像為數位影像吧。成百萬計的圖元只有結合在一起才能成像。同理，我們的大腦每次以一組詞為單位閱讀可以理解得更好。
練習增加你每次閱讀的單字量。你會發現將文章與眼睛的距離拉開一點可以增加你所讀單字的數量。你閱讀的每一個片語單字數量越多，就可以讀得越快！

Habit 2: Sub-vocalization[默讀]
 
This is the habit of pronouncing each word in your head as you read it. Most people do this to some extent or another. When you sub-vocalize you “hear” the word being spoken in your mind. This takes much more time than is necessary because you can comprehend a word much quicker than you can say it.
 
Solution:
 
To turn off the voice in your head you have to first acknowledge[承認] that you do it (how did you read the first part of this article?) and then you have to practice not doing it. When you sit down to read, tell yourself that you will not sub-vocalize. You have to practice and practice this until this bad habit is erased[消除]. Reading blocks of words also helps as you can’t “say” a block of words.
 
Eliminating[消除] sub-vocalization alone can increase your reading speed by an astounding[令人驚駭的] amount. Otherwise, you are limited to reading at the same pace as talking which is about 250-350 words per minute. If you are an efficient scanner, you may increase this rate to between 400 and 500 words per minute. The only way to break through this barrier[障礙] is to stop saying the words in your head as you read. If you can train yourself to simply scan the words without thinking about the pronunciation, you will increase your speed significantly.
 

錯誤的多益閱讀習慣2：默讀
 
▶️ 也就是看書時在大腦裡讀出每個單字的習慣。大多數人或多或少都會這樣做。默讀時，你在腦海中“聽到”被讀出聲的單字，這樣會花掉很多不必要的時間，因為理解一個單字要比將它說出來快得多。

糾正方案：要消除大腦中的聲音，首先你必須意識到自己會那樣做（你是怎樣閱讀本文的第一部分的呢？），然後要練習如何戒除。當你坐下來閱讀時，告訴自己不要默讀。你必須不斷練習，直到把這個壞習慣改掉。閱讀語塊也很有效，因為你不可能同時“說”一堆單字。
 
單單是改掉默讀的習慣就可以驚人地加快你的閱讀速度。不然你的閱讀速度將受限於說話的速度——一分鐘約250-350個單字。假如你是一個高效的流覽者，你可以將速度提高到每分鐘400-500個單字。消除這個障礙的唯一辦法就是閱讀時不要在腦中念單字。如果你可以訓練自己只是瀏覽單字，而不會想它的發音，你就能大大地加快閱讀速度！
 

Habit 3: Inefficient eye motion
 
Slow readers tend to focus on each word and work their way[努力前行] across each line. The eye can actually span[跨越] about 1.5 inches at a time which, for an average page, encompasses[包括] four or five words. Related to this is the fact that most readers don’t use their peripheral vision[周圍視覺] to see words at the ends of the line.
 
Solution:
 
Soften your gaze when you read. By relaxing your face and expanding your gaze, you will begin to see blocks of words instead of each word as distinct unit. When you get good at this your eyes will drift across the page. When you get close to the end of the line, let your peripheral vision take over to see the last set of words. This way you can quickly scan across and down to the next line.
 

錯誤的多益閱讀習慣3：用眼不當
 
▶️ 看書速度慢的人容易將視線集中於每個單字，每一行都從頭讀到尾。事實上，眼睛的覆蓋範圍約為1.5英寸（3.81cm），也就是四到五個單字的長度（一般頁面）。言及於此，事實上很多人不會使用周圍視覺延展到每行的末尾。
 
糾正方案：閱讀時放鬆視線。放鬆臉部，擴大視線範圍，你會慢慢看到成組的語塊，而非獨立的單字。逐漸上手之後，你的視線就可以覆蓋整頁。將要讀到每行的末尾時，讓你的周圍視覺輻射到最後的那組字詞。這樣你就可以快速地掃描過去，接著看下一行。
 

Habit 4: Regression[回讀]
 
This is unnecessary re-reading of material. Sometimes people get in the habit of skipping back to words they just read and other times they jump back a few sentences just to make sure that they read something right. When you “skip back” like this you lose the flow and structure of the text and your overall understanding of the subject decreases.

Solution:
 
Be very conscious of regression and do not allow yourself to re-read material. To reduce the number of times that your eyes skip back to a previous sentence, run a pointer[指示器] along the line as you read. This could be a finger, or a pen or pencil. Your eyes will follow the tip of your pointer, smoothing the flow of your reading. The speed at which you read using this method will largely depend on the speed at which you move the pointer.
 

錯誤的多益閱讀習慣4：回讀
 
▶️ 即對材料進行不必要的重讀。有時人們習慣回頭再讀剛剛讀過的單字，有時他們回頭讀一些句子，只是為了確認自己讀對了。當你這樣“回跳”閱讀時，文章的流暢性和結構就會蕩然無存，你對主題的整體理解也會減弱。
 
糾正方案：要特別注意回讀，嚴禁自己重讀材料。為了減少眼睛跳回之前讀過的句子的次數，閱讀時在每行移動指示器。指示器可以是手指、鋼筆或鉛筆。你的雙眼就會跟著指示器的尖端移動，從而讓你的閱讀變得流暢。閱讀時使用這種方法的閱讀速度很大程度上取決於你移動指示器的移動速度。
 

Habit 5: Poor Concentration
 
If you’ve tried to read while the TV is on, or when there is lots of activity around you, you know how hard it is to concentrate on one word, let alone on many sentences strung together. Reading has to be done in an environment where external distractions[分心的事物] are at a minimum.

Solution:
 
Stop multitasking[多重任務處理] while reading. If you are attempting to speed read, this is particularly important because when you use the speed reading techniques of chunking blocks of words and ceasing[停止] to sub-vocalize, you may have “read” one or two pages before you realize you haven’t understood something properly. Pay attention to internal distractions as well. If you are rehashing[重複] a heated discussion you had earlier, or wondering what to make for dinner, this will also limit your ability to process more information.
 
Sub-vocalization actually forces your brain to attend to what you are reading and that is why people often report they can read and listen to the radio or watch TV at the same time. To become an efficient reader you need to stop doing these things all together.

錯誤的多益閱讀習慣5：注意力不集中
 
▶️ 如果你試過閱讀時開著電視，或者周圍太熱鬧，你就知道要把精神集中到一個字上有多難，更別提由很多句子構成的篇章。閱讀的環境要將外界干擾降至最低。
 
糾正方案：閱讀時不要同時做其他事情。假如你想進行速讀，這點尤其重要，因為當你使用語塊和停止默讀等速讀技巧時，你有可能“讀”了一兩頁才意識到自己有些地方不是很明白。同時也要注意內部干擾。如果你在回想之前進行的熱烈討論，或想著晚餐吃什麼，這樣也會限制你處理更多資訊的能力。
 
事實上，默讀強迫大腦專注於你所讀的材料，這也是人們經常說他們閱讀時可以同時聽收音機或看電視的原因。要成為一個看書效率高的人，你必須不再同時做這些事。
 

Habit 6: Approaching reading linearly[線性地]
 
We are taught to read across and down, taking in every word, sentence, paragraph, page, and chapter in order. When you do this, though, you pay the same attention to supplementary[補充的] and superfluous[多餘的] material as you do to the critical portions[部分]. There is usually far more information written than you actually need to understand.
 
Solution:
 
Stop reading a book like you would listen to a speech. Scan the page for headings and look for the bullet[核，核心] points or things in bold[粗體]. There is no rule saying you have to read in the order the author presents the information. Do a quick scan of the page and decide quickly what is necessary and what isn’t. Skim over the fluff[微小或無關緊要的東西] and pay attention to the key material.
 
As you read, look for the little extras[附加物] that authors add to make their writing interesting and engaging[吸引人的]. If you get the point, there is no need to read the example, anecdote[軼事], or metaphor[暗喻]. Similarly, decide what you need to re-read as well. It is far better to read the one critical paragraph twice than to read all eight paragraphs describing that same concept.
 

錯誤的多益閱讀習慣6：使用線性閱讀方式
 
▶️ 我們被教導讀完一行再往下，按照字、句、段、頁、章的順序進行閱讀。不過當你這樣做時，你對補充材料或多餘材料的關注度與處理關鍵內容時並無差別。材料中給出的資訊通常比你真正需要理解的要多。
 
糾正方案：不要像聽演講一樣讀書。流覽頁面看標題，尋找核心點或粗體字詞。沒人規定你一定要按照作者交代資訊的順序進行閱讀。快速流覽一下整頁，迅速決定需要的與沒用的內容。略過無關緊要的東西，留意關鍵材料。
 閱讀時尋找作者為了讓文章更有趣生動而添加的小內容。假如你已經理解，那就無需讀例子、軼事或暗喻等。同理，你也要決定需要重讀的部分。將關鍵的一段讀兩遍要比讀完整整八個闡述同一觀點的段落有用得多。
