comprehension passage at least twice: first to obtain a general impression of the text, second to concentrate on the important details. Sometimes a third reading is necessary to check difficult items. (40)
Reading Skill
Reducing clauses to phrases or words
Whenever writing in English, everyone should keep in mind the following principle: never use a sentence where you can use a phrase; never use a phrase where you can use a single word. In this way, your writing will become more compact and lucid.
