English reading is demanding,but there are still simple ways to improve our reading speed.
First of all,don't refer to a dictionary too often when you come across a new word in an article;try to guess what the word means using the context.
Second,learn to skim.When we read,we can particularly pick out the specific information we need and leave out those unnecessary.That will speed you up greatly.
Third,learn to scan.Look through the article before you read.In this way you can grasp the main idea of the article quickly so as to make your reading a quickie.
