How to learn English with short stories? |
Short stories are the most effective way to learning English. They are enjoyable and easy to understand. Anyone can read short English stories--even adults, not only kids. Some students feel bored when reading novels or long stories, maybe because it's not a habit. They don't read every day--that's why when they read something long they feel bored easily.
Steps to learning English with short stories:
- Read first and enjoy: you don't need to understand everything in the beginning.
- Read again the same short story and look up any new words
- If the new words in the short story represent more than 50%, then search for new short stories that are easier to understand
- Don't translate every word in your native language--use a dictionary.

- use the words you learn from the English short story in your own words-- that means putting the words in sentences from your own daily-life situations. For example, when you go to the shop to drink something, we say, I will have a cup of tea. So, you might change tea to something else you drink. This way, you will remember the words you're learning in the story.
