Tips for Reading: Planning for your study

For successful English learning, one of the most important things is to
CONTINUE learning it. You cannot master English by studying only fora couple of years. English learning is therefore very similar to climbing
mountains, practicing cooking or practicing a music instrument. You need tocontinue.
However, you cannot continue to learn English without a CLEAR GOAL toachieve. For example, when it comes to climbing a mountain, how high isthe mountain? What tools or clothes do you need for climbing? Which routeare you going to take? How many days do you need? Without knowing all of
this clearly, you cannot maintain your motivation and may soon give up.
Therefore, you need to set a clear goal before restarting your English
learning this time. The clearer it is, the more easily you can achieve it. Also,
setting SMALLER STEPS to achieve the goal helps you continue learning.
Every time you take one step forward, you can feel success and the desire
to move forward.

2. Reading faster← arriving here one year later!
3. Writing a short summary (with a few sentences)

Set a clear goal for your English learning. Also, set smaller steps to achieve thegoal. Do not forget to indicate where you want to be one year later throughlearning English with this textbook.

READING PASSAGE
Read the passage below and pay attention to the relationship between
topic sentences and supporting sentences of each paragraph.
1

The word “diary” comes from the Latin word “diarium,” which means “daily

allowance.” It refers to a book for fragmentary writings by date and is used forbusiness notes, planning activities, keeping track of scheduled appointments, or
documenting what has already happened. Some doctors suggest that writing in a5diary is a good form of self-study.
2

In America, from the 1940s through the 1980s, a diary was thought ofmostly as a way to privately express one’s deepest thoughts while keeping
notations about the day. In those times, and even continuing on today, writing
in a diary was like writing to a special friend. Many times, movies would show a10teenage girl beginning to write in her diary while she said aloud, “Dear diary, . . . ”
What followed was a synopsis of the day, usually filled with emotion.
3

Those private reflections may have historical significance long after theauthor’s death. A diary kept by a young German Jewish girl by the name of Anne
Frank provides us with invaluable lessons about history, for she documented15

her experiences while she hid from the Nazis during their occupation of theNetherlands in World War II. Her diary became one of the world’s most widely
read books and is the basis for many films.
