阅读周日报，英语学习效率翻倍
It doesn’t matter whether you read The Times of London, the New York Times, the Boston Globe or the The Guardian. If you want to learn English twice as fast, do it by reading the Sunday paper.
不管你读泰晤士报，纽约时报，波士顿环球报还是卫报，要想英语学习效率翻倍，请阅读周日报。
Reading the Sunday edition of an English newspaper is a wonderful lesson you can do on your own or with another ESL student. That’s because you get the chance to read, discuss authentic (real) English texts, and just enjoy a local or an international newspaper in English. And, when you enjoy something, you’ll learn a lot faster.
阅读周日版本的英语报纸就像是上了一堂优秀的英语课，你可以自己阅读也可以和另一个英语非母语的学生阅读。因为你有机会阅读，讨论（真正的）英语，享受当地的或国际版本的英语报刊。如果你喜欢一些内容的话，你就会学的更快。

3. Look at these guideline questions before you read the paper.

After you finish your article, answer the guideline questions and discuss the article with another ESL student (if you are with one). Go over all you’ve gotten out of (learned from) the article. I bet it’s at least twice as much as you learn from a regular textbook lesson.
读完文章，回答所有的问题，然后再跟其他学生讨论。复习你从文章中学到的所有新知识。我敢打赌，这比你从课本里学到的要翻一个倍。
