Dear teachers:

I have a reading problem. When I read a long article, I always forget previous parts.

For example, an article has 10 paragraphs. When I read to the 5th paragraph, I almost forget the previous 4 paragraphs what it means. If I want to understand the whole article, I need to review these paragraphs.

If there any way to improve this problem or I just need to have a reading train?

Thanks!!

You can write a small note about each paragraph to remind you when you get to the end.

pugachevV, thanks for your response. I think it will be a good way.

But what if it was on the test or some situaction that I don't have much time to do that. Because sometime I will require read an article in a very little time, what can I do under this situation?

Thank you very much!!

You're going to have to improve your memory skills, or your writing skills.
Practice.
