The sweet path to passing the exam starts with honey reading!

In the civil service English test, reading is the most important section, accounting for nearly 70% of the score.
Nevertheless, many test takers are only learning formally by solving problems, checking the answers, and then reading the interpretation.
This is because they think that if they just memorize words for English reading, they can get a certain score and that there is nothing else to learn.
Or, they may recognize the need for reading comprehension, but they have no idea how to study, that is, what their goal is and how to study.

However, by interpreting sentences by combining only the words you know and selecting the correct answer by intuition, that is, in good terms it is called 'intuitive reading', or in bad terms it is called 'blind reading', you can only get an average score and it is impossible to get any more points by improving your reading comprehension.

English reading also has clear learning goals and effective learning methods to achieve them.

Learning Objective 1.
Accurate interpretation skills based on an understanding of grammar are required.


Sometimes we interpret sentences simply by combining words we know.
In cases like this, if you interpret it roughly, you may end up understanding it with a strange meaning or not remembering the content of the previous sentence when you read the next sentence.
Therefore, the ability to quickly and correctly interpret each sentence is required.
This interpretation ability must be based on a sound understanding of grammar along with vocabulary.
To be able to read more accurately and quickly, you need to learn and practice applying the grammatical knowledge you have learned when interpreting sentences.

Learning Objective 2.
Reading comprehension needs to be improved.

'Reading comprehension' refers to the ability to read text, and is different from the ability to interpret.
Even if you interpret a sentence, if you cannot grasp the main idea or opinion that the writer is trying to convey, you cannot say that you understand the content of the text.
The writer guides the reader through the text so that he or she can properly understand the content and emphasizes important points again.
Therefore, if you follow the author's instructions carefully when reading and only understand what the author emphasizes, you can understand the entire content of the text without having to read the entire text.
Of these two goals, this textbook was designed to achieve the first goal: rapid analysis and correct interpretation of sentences.
Through this textbook, you'll learn basic sentence types and essential phrases that can be applied immediately for quick and accurate interpretation. Through detailed explanations and example sentences, you'll practice them yourself using practical sentences that are at the level of actual exams.
Not only will you gain confidence in your ability to analyze and interpret sentences, but this will also serve as a solid foundation for improving your reading comprehension.

I hope that this textbook will help you learn how to understand sentences quickly and easily, and that it will be an important turning point on the path to high scores in reading comprehension and, furthermore, in English.
