Answer and explanation

#KangSungTae surpasses 1 million YouTube subscribers and 210 million views.
#Following 『Kang Seong-tae's English Vocabulary Etymology』 and 『Kang Seong-tae's Essential English Grammar』
『Kang Seong-tae's English Reading Speed ​​Reading』 is finally out!

A well-written book can change a person's life.
A book has to be that effective.
I am sure.
This book will be able to change many people's reading skills, English, and even their lives.
This book was created to completely change the way reading is studied in Korea.
As you can see from the title, this is not your typical English reading book.
It's a speed reading book.
Anyone who has ever taken an English test in South Korea will know.
The English test we take is more of an English 'speed reading' test than an English test.
Whether it's the CSAT, the civil service exam, the TOEIC or TOEFL, or even the English midterm and final exams in middle school, you have to solve all the reading comprehension questions in a very short amount of time.
You can't just read and understand.
You have to read 'very quickly', that is, speed read.
It would be more appropriate to rename the test as the English 'Speed ​​Reading' Test rather than the English Reading Comprehension Test.
Reading slowly is reading, but you will never get good grades if you do it that way.
Even if you can interpret every sentence correctly, it's a total failure if you don't have enough time.
(Omitted) I am a person who knows all too well how difficult it is for students in Korea.
We need to create a book that saves even just one second of time and makes studying just one percent more efficient.
So, I tested and applied every method I knew of for fast reading that had been proven so far.
I dare say that if you study with this book, you will no longer need to worry about how to increase your reading speed.
