4种有用的英语朗读技巧
1. 疾速泛读（fast extensive reading）。平常要养成疾速泛读的习气。这里讲的泛读是指普遍阅读很多触及分歧范畴的书本，要求读得快，了解和把握书中的首要内容就可以了。要确定一个明白的念书定额，定额要连系本人的实践，实在可行，可多可少。例如天天读20页，一个学期以18周核算，就可以读21本中等厚度的书
2. 计时阅读 （timed reading）。课余要养成计时阅读的习气。计时阅读每次进行5～10分钟即可，不宜太长。由于计时疾速阅读，精神高度集中，工夫一长，轻易委靡、精神涣散，反而庸俗。阅读时先记下“起读工夫”（starting time），阅读终了，记下“止读工夫”（finishing time），即可核算出本次阅读速度。顺手记下，长时间对峙，肯定收到分明结果。
3. 略读 （skimming）。略读又称跳读（reading and skipping）或阅读（glancing），是一种专门的，十分适用的疾速阅读技艺。所谓略读，是指以尽能够快的速度阅读，好像从飞机上俯瞰（bird\'s eye view ）地上上的分明标记一样，敏捷获取文章粗心或中间思维。
4.寻读 （Scanning）。寻读又称查读，同略读一样，寻读也是一种疾速阅读技巧。纯熟的读者擅长运用寻读取得详细信息，以进步阅读效率。寻读是一种从很多的材料中敏捷查找某一项详细现实或某一项特定信息，如人物、事情、工夫、地址、数字等，而对其它无关局部则略去不读的疾速阅读办法。

If I Could Save Time in a Bottle
If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
'Til eternity passes away
And just how I'd like to do it
Is to call up and just say
"Don't worry, don't worry
I won't need it anyway."
But you see time is also for living
We only notice it's slipping
When days have become years
And soon there'll be no time here
So if I couldn't save time in a bottle
I'd save every minute I'd borrow
And if I could make days last forever
Or save them in amber
And if I could light up the darkest hour
I'd save the lost ones that were searching
For a better tomorrow
And I'd save all my yesterday's
And every tomorrow saved would be saved forever.
