Difficulties of Reading English!

There are a lot of difficult things for me about reading in English. First, my vocabulary is so poor, so understanding the readings, I often check dictionary when reading. This wastes me a lot of time and makes me feel uncomfortable. When I read newspapers or magazines, I am not excited in reading them because I just understand them a little. Second, styles of writing in English are so different from my country. Writers often use a lot of idioms, phrasal verb that I never see before, so it makes me confuse.

Although reading is very hard, but I like it because I think that it is very useful for me. In the first time, I do the exercises on the reading lad; I think that they are too hard and complicated. However, now I feel better after practicing a lot of the academic readings there. In my experience after studying two months in the US f I read a lot of newspaper, magazines and academic readings more, I will have faster reflex in reading and understand their contents more quickly.

When I was in my country, I often read the “Sun flower” newspaper. It has 2 languages: Vietnamese and English, so it is easy for me to follow and understand. However, when I live in the US, I quit this habit. Now, I often read newspaper on the internet because it is more convenient for me and it helps me save money.

I will try my best to read more and more so that I can have good reading skills in the next quarter.
