How to improve your English by reading(part 3)
Another thing punctuation does: Pause briefly after periods, and pause after commas.So, again, if you're giving a list of things, if you're reading and it says: "They went...He went to the store and he bought apples, pears, and oranges", you could say:" He went to the store and he bought apples, pears, and oranges", or:"

He went to the store and he bought apples, pears, and oranges."It might not sound like there was a pause, but I did pause very briefly between each word in that list.So, paying attention to those things also teaches you, again, how to clearly enunciate and also your fluency.Now, again, your fluency is how smooth your language sounds when you're speaking.So if you're just saying: "Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah", it's fast and you think:"I can speak quickly in English."But it doesn't sound natural.Nobody speaks like...I mean, people do speak like that, it's more difficult to understand them, but it's better,obviously, if you pay attention to short pause.Hmm, comma.Okay?And finally: Highlight words you don't know.So when you're reading, obviously, this is one of the major benefits of reading, is vocabulary,vocabulary.

vocabulary,vocabulary.

It's so important, I put it twice.That's what happened here, okay?So, maybe I will open this book and I'm going to read...Hmm.Hmm.Okay, there's a person saying something here, and he says:" There are books, ancient books of healing from the old world."And maybe I'm a new English speaker, and I say:" Healing, healing. 

I've never heard the word; healing; before. H-e-a-l-i-n-g." Maybe I want to stop, highlight that, go back, check it out on the dictionary or something,online, on my phone, somewhere, and you just leaned a new word.Okay?So obviously, if you're reading a book and you're stopping 20 times in one page, your book is probably too difficult for you.But if you';re stopping four, five, maybe six times a page because of new vocabulary, as a new English learner, that's not bad.

Okay? All right, so like I mentioned, reading, reading, reading can really help you improve your English in a number of ways.It can improve definitely your presentation skills by reading out loud and exaggerating,your enunciation which is your ability to pronounce each sound correctly and distinctly in a word, your pronunciation which is, you know, you're saying "book" instead of " bouquet". Okay?By paying attention to word endings, specifically "ed" and "s" will improve others; ability to understand you, especially if you are an English as a second language learner.Punctuation will also improve your fluency, your intonation if you're paying attention to question marks or anything else; periods, commas, exclamations.

And highlighting words you don't know, all of these books, these books specifically,other books, too, that you enjoy, will help you to improve your vocabulary.So, unlike other lessons, there is no quiz for this one.All I want you guys to do is pick up a book, pick up something you're interested in,try out these methods, and let me know if it works for you because it's been working for me,so let me know if it also works for you.Also, don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel,and I'll see you guys another time.Bye.
