1. Try to enlarge your vocabulary and lay a good foundation for reading ability. A large enough vocabulary is very important for good reading ability, and the traditional method of memorizing words is copying, that is, copying while reading words. In the process of copying, the eyes concentrate on the shape of words, the mouth reads out the pronunciation of words loudly, and the ears receive information at the same time. This memory method has been criticized by many teachers and scholars, who think it is rote learning. In fact, this method plays a vital role in the whole learning process of students. Therefore, this memory method can not be ignored. It is efficient to recite words by roots, affixes and word formation, especially after memorizing words, it will be better to read them in combination with their specific usage and related chapters. Memorizing words is a very difficult task. Effective memorization of words can not rely solely on ascetic learning methods, but also combine some skills to reduce the pressure of memorizing words. For example, when memorizing words, we should increase the number of repetitions as much as possible. There are about 400 million brain cells in the lateral lobe of the human brain, and the distance between each cell is about 0.2 nm. There are many synapses between cells. The popular view now is that memory exists in these single cells like files. When the association is stored, cells form some kind of connection and the distance between synapses decreases. When extracting the memory of the first brain cell, the connected synapse will activate the nearest synapse and continue to extract the information of the next brain cell, thus realizing the desired information one by one. When this memory association chain is constantly stimulated, the distance between synapses becomes smaller and smaller, and finally even close to being linked together. At this time, the time from one information base to another will be shorter and the accuracy will be higher. Therefore, an important way to remember words is to repeat the learned words scientifically, so that the association chain of words is fast and accurate. In our memory process, the closer the symbol expression is to our living habits and logical habits, the easier it is to remember. This is because when symbols are more in line with logic and living habits, the higher the identifiability of symbols, so that after we recognize symbols, the association that our thinking points to will be clear and our memory will be accurate. Because of the introduction of logic, a large part of memory has been replaced by logic, and there are fewer things to remember. A good symbolic expression can improve the efficiency of memory, reduce the amount of memory and speed up the response of memory. Therefore, a highly recognizable symbol is the key to how to break through memory. Speaking of words, English words are actually just a recognized symbol, so if we can improve the debatability of English words, word shorthand will find a breakthrough. 2. Through English text learning, improve classroom learning efficiency and improve reading ability. Classroom teaching is the main position for students to complete their studies, develop their intelligence, enrich their emotions and form noble aesthetic sentiments. It is also the main place for English teachers to complete the tasks of "preaching", "teaching" and "dispelling doubts". As early as more than 300 years ago, Czech educator Comenius pointed out: "Seek and find a teaching method so that teachers can teach less and students can learn more." This desire to "learn more" through "teaching less" has always been the goal pursued by educators of all ages. Listening to lessons well is the central link for students to acquire new knowledge and develop their intelligence. A student's English learning performance is good or bad, which largely depends on how much he understands and digests in class. Understand more, digest more, do less after-school exercises after class, and relax, so you can make time for extracurricular reading. Learning deeper and wider is conducive to developing hobbies, participating in various extracurricular activities and getting all-round development; On the contrary, if you don't attend class well, doing homework after class is not only time-consuming but also stressful. After a long time, you will feel tired and afraid of learning, and all aspects will not develop. Therefore, I often instruct students on the methods of listening to lectures, so that students can clearly understand the purpose of listening to lectures, pay attention when listening to lectures, listen carefully to the ins and outs of knowledge, guide students to learn to think, analyze and organize knowledge with their brains to strengthen their memory, and take notes on key contents for review. Classroom teaching time is limited. How to improve learning efficiency and expand reading ability in a limited time is a very important issue. After all, classroom learning is a vital part of students' whole learning process. In class, students not only learn basic knowledge such as words, grammar and texts, but also learn the skills and ability to directly analyze texts. Most English classroom teaching processes are word explanation, text learning and problem solving. The two links of word explanation and problem solving are mainly to consolidate students' vocabulary and grammar foundation, and text learning is the synthesis of these basic knowledge, so it is very important to improve reading ability. Through text learning, we can first consolidate the memory of words, especially the newly learned words. There are about 30 to 50 new words in each unit. After simple word memorization combined with text learning, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort and make the words more firmly mastered. Secondly, you can master the ability to analyze long sentences. In English texts, especially some argumentative essays, there are many long sentences, often clauses in sets. Many students have a large number of words, and no more than five words are unknown in an article. However, reading the article is very difficult, and you can't understand what a sentence is saying. The lack of long sentence analysis ability is a key reason. By carefully analyzing the long sentences in the text, we can improve our ability in this respect. Finally, learning English texts in class can improve the ability of short-term memory and comprehensive mastery of texts. 3. Expand extracurricular reading and master reading skills in practice. When choosing reading materials, you must choose according to your own actual situation, not according to other people's standards. If the selected materials are too difficult, it will dampen the enthusiasm of reading. Expanding extracurricular knowledge is not an ascetic practice, and most students have no special willpower. Therefore, if you want to keep reading habits for a long time and make reading ability have a lasting development, you must reduce the difficulty of reading. If the selected materials are too difficult, you can't effectively improve your reading ability, or even have no effect at all. Intensive reading materials often appear in various English test papers and simulated test papers, and the reading content in these materials is often highly targeted. Whether it is words, grammar or the questions listed at the back of the article, it is a purposeful test for students to grasp the content and plays a vital role in improving their reading ability. In order to improve reading ability efficiently, it is necessary to make more English test papers consciously. It's best to read it in a limited time for the first time and answer the questions as required. Don't think too much about the correct rate of doing the questions. If you blindly look up the words and try to figure out the meaning of the sentence when doing the problem, it will inevitably increase the difficulty of doing the problem, prolong the time of doing it, and gradually lose interest in doing it. Usually, it is more appropriate to do five or six reading comprehension questions in a row. No matter how many questions you make wrong, you should objectively evaluate yourself and see your correct rate. The process of really improving English reading ability focuses on the second and third steps. This is a crucial step when you correct your answer. Reorganize the topics you have done and the articles you have read, carefully refer to the words and sentences you didn't understand the first time and mark them. When you have a comprehensive and meticulous grasp of the whole article, look at the questions you have done again and find out why you made mistakes, because you didn't understand the article or because you were careless. The third step is to sort out the knowledge points such as word grammar marked by yourself and review them in time. After repeated cycles, your reading ability will be greatly improved. 4. Conclusion To sum up, to improve reading ability, we need to have a solid memory of basic English knowledge such as words and grammar, and the mastery of basic knowledge is mainly accomplished through word memory and classroom learning. In addition, a key to improve English reading ability is to expand reading volume and combine intensive reading with extensive reading. On the one hand, we should read and ponder the texts we study in class or valuable articles we encounter in exams, on the other hand, we should read a lot of English magazines, newspapers and other materials to improve our reading ability in practice.
