FLUENTZY ENGLISH


1.Reading a newspaper is an excellent way to practice spoken English.

2.Most newspapers use important English vocabulary words.

3.A newspaper will give you many common political, scientific, economic and technical words.

4.The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) exam often use words that are frequently found in English newspapers.


1.You must read the newspaper frequently and read it aloud.

2.You must always look up words you do not know in your dictionary and attempt to use these new words and expressions when you speak.


1. Print an article from a newspaper web site. (Always select a newspaper from the country using the English you are studying.)

2. First, read the article out loud, looking for new vocabulary words.

3.Whenever you read a word you do not know, stop and look it up in your own language English dictionary.


1. Write the English words you do not know in a notebook. Then write the meaning of the word in your own language.

2.If a word you do not know is used more than

twice in an article, put a check () by it for special study.


After you finish reading the article for the first time, review the meaning of all the new vocabulary words you wrote in your notebook. Study these words enough so that you know what they mean when you read the article.


Now read the entire article aloud for fluency practice. Try reading the article as smoothly as possible without stopping. Read it aloud twice. Your purpose is to read it so that an English speaking person could easily understand what you are saying.


• Read the article again for meaning. Always read aloud. If you do not understand a sentence, stop and figure out exactly what it means.

• If some of the meanings you have written in your notebook do not make sense in the article, look the word up again in your dictionary and see if it has other meanings. Write the meaning in your notebook that makes the most sense as a second meaning for that word.


If you still cannot figure out the meaning of a sentence, it may be because two or three words are used together as an expression. Try to determine the meaning of expressions. Look for similar expressions in other articles. If you cannot determine the meaning of an expression, you may need to ask an English speaking person to help you.


• Identify expressions as you read. Use a special mark to identify them in the articles.

• Try substituting other words while using the same expression. Say or write as many sentences using the expression as possible. For example, you may read a sentence in a newspaper which says, "Former Governor Mitchell announced on Friday he will not run for another term, putting to rest months of speculation about his future intentions." "Putting to rest" is an expression which means "ending."


• For more fluency practice, continue reading the article aloud until you can read it at the same speed that an English speaker talks. Practice until your pronunciation sounds like that of an English speaker.

• Your purpose is not merely to learn the vocabulary in

these articles, but to learn to speak English. Keep practicing until you can read the article aloud so that an English speaking person can clearly understand what you are saying.
