Dear member,
Every newbie feels reading newspaper is really irk. As days are passing on, It becomes one of your avocation. I`m telling you few tips which may abate your strife.
Steps
1. Remember that newspapers are written with a very specific formula: the who, what, when, where, why, and how always come first. Everything else, background information, quotes from witnesses, etc, comes later. It is the journalist's formula for success.
2. Start with the headlines. This is the most succinct way to determine what will be of interest and what is just fluff.
3. Once you've found an article you'd like to read, read only the first paragraph or two. You can glance over the rest if you like, but the first few lines are always the heart of the story, as long as you're dealing with a journalist who knows what he/she is doing.
4. Skim. Don't get too caught up in reading each article word for word. Usually, you can get the gist of any piece of writing just by picking up the main idea and a few key words. Only read in detail if the piece is of great interest or importance.
5. Don't jump around too much. Read all the pieces of interest on one page, then turn the page. A lot of time can be wasted going back and forth trying to find that article that caught your eye sixteen pages ago.
6. As qouted by honourable members that it`s difficult to pay heed on each and every thing. Consequently, always trigger to the burning issues such as Global warming, Inflation, Terrorism etc. Moreover, try to memorize title information of the article.
Tips
1. Turn pages quickly, and don't stress if they don't fold the way you want them to. Uncooperative newspapers are annoying, but they are the least of your worries when you're late for work.
2. It's best to read the newspaper when everything else is finished and in its place. It's hard trying to catch up on the upcoming election with your shoes still untied. A good place to read is on the train.
3. If you simply must read the funnies, save them for last. Often, this can be something to look forward to when you've got a few minutes to yourself!
Most newspapers are written at a very low reading level in order to create appeal to a very wide audience.
4. Dont give attention to anything else happening around you. Try to catch the idea divulged from the news.
5. Always commence through the page of your interest. It will motivate you to read the rest.
Warnings
Don't get caught up in advertisements. Learn to recognize and skip over them. They are usually less structured, lacking the strict column format that the articles will have. Fonts are larger and more decorative, and pictures are of products and people looking happy with them, not the more somber images of the articles.
I will add a prolific article in days time. It will be beneficial for your future endeavours.
Allah Nagheban,
