| In this semester, we have to read novels. There are so many vocabularies to me in this book. I spend much time on checking voacabularies, so I read slowly. How can I improve my reading speed? | |

There are many new words.... or There is a lot of vocabulary.... vocabulary is an uncountable noun!vocabulariesIn Taiwan, a lot of people say vocabularies, which is wrong! Unfortunately, some Taiwanese English teachers say/teach vocabularies. lol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocabulary Vocabulary is a set of words. Now to your question..... You cannot improve your reading speed, unless you know the vocabulary. The best ways are to practice and to learn new words and a lot of reading will improve your speed. There's no skill applied to speed, if you do not know enough vocabulary. | |
