The second point I'd like to make is about the types of reading. Many books, papers and dissertations have been written about various types of reading, as well as methods of teaching reading. We will not go into details but will briefly revise basic types of reading. In academic environment, there are two basic types of reading: intensive and extensive. Let us briefly look at them separately. What is intensive reading? 我要指出的第二点是阅读的类型。许多书籍、报纸、论文都是以各种迥异的风格写出来的。这也就要求阅读教学适应不同的风格。我们不会涉及太多的细节,但我们会简单地回顾一下阅读的基本类型。在学术研究的大背景下,有两种基本的阅读类型:精读和泛读。让我们分别对他们进行简单的了解。什么是精读?
