Sometimes ordinary reading methods may not help you to remember the chapter content well. You feel the reading is tough and get bogged down in this murky reading assignment. You can try the following reading techniques which help to ease the reading and help you to remember what you have read better.
Tip 1: Read it again.
It's often easier in the second time.For many students, if they try to read the difficult material again, such as technical writing in science text can become easier in the second time around. You may get confuse when trying to understand the content at the first time. Do not despair, take a short rest after reading the first round; when you return to read the material again, you will find it easier to understand than when you read it at the first time. Repeat read it again if needed.
Tip 2: Pause reading for mini review.
Don't read the whole chapter if you find yourself has difficulties to understand the content. After reading one or two paragraphs, pause briefly to summarize what you have read so far, verbally or in writing. Use your own words to review back what you have read so far. Then, jot down some notes or create a short outline or summary.
Tip 3: Look for essential words.
When you are stuck on a paragraph, try to mentally skip those adjectives and adverbs words. Just look for the essential words in the paragraph. Those essential words normally are in verbs and nouns. By focusing the essential words, your mind can absorb them better.
Tip 4: Consult your instructor.
Most teachers welcome their students to approach them if they need any help in their study. If you stuck with your reading, admit it and arrange an appointment with your instructor for consultation on the part that you are confused with.
Tip 5: Read It Aloud.
Instead of reading with your mind, try to read out with your mouth...aloud and use your ear to hear what you have read. Try to read it out for several times and each time using a different inflection, which emphasizing a different part of the sentence. Be creative and imagine you are the presenter talking to your audience.
Tip 6: Change positions periodically when reading.
Changing positions of readings periodically can combat fatigue and refresh you mind. You can play with standing as you read and read it aloud when you get stuck on a tough paragraph. Beside that, you also can choose to walk around while reading, it make you remember better.
Tip 7: Find a tutor.
If there is a need, approach a tutoring service to help you. Many schools provide free tuitions for their students, or you can find a paid tutoring service on the subjects which you need helps.
Tip 8: Get a group of study mates.
Other than the professional tutoring services, you can also form a study group among your peers and schedule discussion sessions for the selected chapters each week. You can use this group study to perform reading session; each one will rotate reading aloud and allows other to ask questions which related to the topic. When you answer the question, it helps you to remember better.
The ordinary reading methods may not enough to help you to remember what you have learned in a chapter. You need to find a few reading techniques which can help you. Above tips are just among the many reading techniques which you can try them on.

improve vocabulary
salam.....
One of the best ways to expand your vocabulary are read and talk. This is very true especially with special needs children. When you always talk to the child, you are unknowingly helping him to expand his vocabulary and ignite his curiosity.
Vocabulary and the need for knowledge and information are two crucial things in learning.When a child wants to know about something and he knows he can get it through reading, it is enough motivation to want him to read. In the same manner, if the child reads more, he will have more chances of getting more words into his vocabulary bank.
The “learning readiness” factor is different from one child to another because we have the so-called individual differences. It applies to learning and reading readiness as well. So how can you help your special needs child get ready to read and develop his vocabulary?
How To Develop Vocabulary Through Reading
Reading allows children to encounter new words. There are actually more words used in written language compared to spoken language. Because of this, a child will learn more new words through reading. The more you read to a child, the more he will be able to develop his vocabulary.
To further help the child develop his vocabulary, parents and teachers should consider the following pointers:
Remember that the more times a word is heard, the more it will be remembered. So if you want your child to master a word, repeat it many times. Also use the word regularly in conversations involving the child.The words that are commonly heard at home are the words that the child will most likely master. So if you are teaching your child a word, ask the other members of the family to use the word.
Reading is one the best ways to develop a child’s vocabulary.When a child learns to read, vocabulary development follows, thus, reading is crucial.It is important that a child develops his vocabulary. In the same manner, it is equally important that a child learns to read to further improve his vocabulary.
Parents and teachers should help the child understand the importance of reading. They should also introduce reading as an interesting aspect of learning. This can be done by using attractive, easy to understand and educational reading materials – one like POPS resources.
And proper guidance and support should also be part and parcel of any reading and vocabulary activities.
together we achieved our vocabulary and also our child in the future!!!!!

More recent experiments and researches have revealed that the effects of global warming on agriculture and food supply are not that good after all. AN UNEP 2001 report on the global warming has predicted that USA is going to have more droughts, floods, landslides and storms.Winter will gradually be shortened and sobered down, while summer will rise in expansion and severity. Along with this heavy rain, big storm, heavy snowfall, high sea level, increasing coastal erosion and other problems will occur.
Though as one of the effects of global warming, the overall food supply and production level is supposed to rise in USA, but the Great Plains will suffer with more droughts resulting for global warming.Even now many effects of global warming on agriculture and food supply have been perceived.
The popular maple syrup production of North east USA has diminished by 10. This will create dire water shortage in summer, making the Central Valley area unsuitable for agricultural production for global warming. The State University of Colorado has declared that the area is going to be less productive due to effects of global warming on agriculture and food supply. As the effects of global warming, the food supply production in Florida is going to suffer a lot due to frequent and large scale floods. Also one of the most profitable agricultural products of USA - corn will suffer a bad condition due to dry and hot atmosphere for global warming.
As another example of the effects of global warming on agriculture and food supply - with the rise of temperature by 3 to 11 degrees in this century, the production rate of the main crops - the rice, corn, wheat, barley, soybeans and sorghum - will be cut down by 3-5% for each point rise of temperature for global warming.
However with all these effects of global warming on agriculture and food supply, new attempts have been made to adjust the agricultural and food production method according to the changing atmosphere. So to fight the effects of global warming, the researchers have established new methods of production with continuous revision of models. But still the best possible process to reduce the effects of global warming on agriculture and food supply is to be established.
The solution is still in processes but why not we try to help them also in order to live in better life in the future.

global warming-- how can u help
salam........
For this time entry, i would like to share about global warming which is the world issue today.
Global warming over the next half-century could put more than a million species of plants and animals on the road to extinction, according to an international study Thomas, lead author of the study published in the science journal Nature, said emissions from cars and factories could push temperatures up to levels not seen for 1 million to 30 million years by the end of the century, threatening many habitats. The sweeping new analysis, enlisting scientists from 14 laboratories around the globe, found that more than one-third of 1,103 native species they studied in six regions around the world could vanish or plunge to near extinction by 2050 as climate change turns plains into deserts or alters forests.
Global warming is widely blamed on rising concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere linked to emissions of gases from burning fossil fuels in cars, factories and power plants. We can cut global warming pollution by reducing pollution from vehicles and power plants. We can increase our reliance on renewable energy sources such as wind, sun and geothermal. And we can manufacture more efficient appliances and conserve energy. But all this will take time, instead we should think of alternatives which can be done immediately like doing ridesharing or carpool, using clean fuel like CNG.
There is no reason to wait and hope that hydrogen fuel cell vehicles will solve the problem in the future. Right away, we should put existing technologies for building cleaner cars and more modern electricity generators into widespread use.
If current trends continue Global warming will have catastrophic effects like:
• Melting glaciers, early snowmelt and severe droughts will cause more dramatic water shortages in the American West.
• Rising sea levels will lead to coastal flooding on the Eastern seaboard, in Florida, and in other areas, such as the Gulf of Mexico.
• Warmer sea surface temperatures will fuel more intense hurricanes in the south-eastern Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
• Forests, farms and cities will face troublesome new pests and more mosquito-borne diseases.
• Disruption of habitats such as coral reefs and alpine meadows could drive many plant and animal species to extinction. Such alarming facts call for some serious action on each one’s part and we can contribute by sharing our vehicles and making carpools in our cities.
we can save our world!!!!

teenagers with depression
salam....
According to a survey 20 percent of teens will experience teen depression before they reach adulthood, 10 to 15 percent of teenagers have some symptoms of teen depression and 5 percent of teens are suffering from major depression. One of the most alarming facts to come from all the research; depression is affecting younger and younger people - adolescents and teenagers. So teen depression is a very common and dangerous disease.
Depression in adolescents can express itself as irritability, hostility, and anger, which can often lead to miss diagnosis.Teenage girls are suffering from depression more than teenage boys.Teens get depressed, including rejection, abuse or low self-esteem. Depression is not caused by chemical imbalances, whether in adolescents, teenagers or adults.
The child may exhibit extreme fear of being separated from a parent or lose interest in participating in games with other children. Depressed people often don't feel much like talking or can't find the words to describe what's wrong.
Symptoms:
Belief that life is not worth living
Decrease in performance at school
Complaints of feeling guilty or worthless
Critical and insolent behavior
Hallucination or strange attitude
Weight has changed
Complains of feeling tired all the time
Also they may have increased problems at school because of skipped classes, lack of interest or motivation, or poor concentration and low mental energy caused by the depression.
There are so many causes of depression but three are main:
Social rejection
Family turmoil
Failing exams
First, there are two kinds of depression:
The sad kind, called major depression, reactive depression, and manic-depression or bipolar illness, when feeling down and depressed alternates with being speeded-up and sometimes acting reckless. Sometimes drug and alcohol use can lead to depression; but more frequently, teens that are depressed seek out alcohol and other drugs to avoid dealing with their depression and how it makes them feel. Often teenagers react to the pain of depression by getting into trouble: trouble with alcohol, drugs, or sex; trouble with school or bad grades; problems with family or friends.
Most teens with mental health problems do not get the help they need. And you can help him/her by contacting to Psychologist, psychiatrist, school counselor or nurse, trusted family member, family doctor or professional at a mental health center.Listen to patient, and make sure your friend knows that you care andEncourage him/her to talk to a professional.that’s is the advantages having friends.
