I had the same problem with you at the beginning, and I still have, but I have improved a lot. there are 4 aspects: I decided to switch to RC and drop the CR off for a while, after intensive training of RC, CR reading is getting much better. I trained myself not to read second time, which forced myself to read with my mind, which means that mind is active when I read, so I can understand it at the first time. Although it was painful for me, it worked very well. I always note down new words (specially n. v. adj. and adv.)on a seperate paper, and after 6 hours study I clear them out by checking them on the GOOGLE dictionary, the merit of google dictionary is that I get not the Chinese, but also the sentences demostrating how to use it, and also I get to know other words that is related to it, therefore, I can learn quicker, I have never recite any words, but this way of learning new words is very efficient. The last is when you acturary practice CR, do not insert other studies, concentrate on CR for several days, and make sure you can practice minmium 100 questions per day, including correcting and studying the mistakes. After all these, you should be able to promote, I had. Still I have a bit obsticles encountering FF Logic. But it's not like the beginning when I was totally suffering from not understanding at all. |
