    Hello James,

    Thank you for teaching people in the all around world. I really would like to know about inferences, persuasive, expository, logical conclusion, and theme in the passage.

MariaCaroH

    Hi Maria,

    You did not tell me exactly what you are having problems with, so I can’t give you the precise advice you are looking for.

    If you can let me know what you are having difficulty with, I can give you some advice.

    Rebecca, who is also on the site, teaches TOEFL. She may be able to help you. Drop her a note!

    James

      Can you help me pls about how can i keep the words in my mind and its pronunciation? cause its seems hard to me.

      Hi James,

        Hi JulieBurago,
        If you want, we may practice english together on Skype. I think this will be very helpful in learning specially in speaking.

Here are my weakpoints..
1) While speaking i will be getting breaks & Gaps in the words….and it makes for the people wo are listening to me makes to understand a little bit difficult.

2) While reading i am not aware of the meanings for many of the words ( I will your video on this as u said to do read the before & after words and try to understand the meaning of the word which is not known,) Any other ways u have to improve.

Please suggest your advice for my 2 points.

hi Jame.. Thanks for providing such a information to all the needed people including me. I want to share my problem with you. I am not good in reading, writing, listing as well as in speaking. But I want to improve myself in all fields that why I have seen few of your vedios today. I am not able to understand about pause that are required during , . ? ! etc. & donot know anything about this during reading & speaking. I don’t know difference between high tone & low tone that is required to express your feeling in more natural way. I don’t know which word need to speak slowly & which one more loudly. I believe these all are not only my problems some other persons may be also facing the same problem. Can you give me some suggestions to improve myself. And can you help me in any way.

Thanks once again Jame.

Hi!

Let me say that your videos are great. I have been trying learning English from 14 years ago, jajaja!

I can read or understand something like 70% (I think!) of English language, but when I have to write or speack in English, I am a disaster.

Bye.

HI JAMES IT IS SO GOOD TO SEE YOU EXPLAINING THIS TACTICS FOR US……AND I AM FOND OF YOUR TEACHING….I HAVE GONE THROUGH A LOT OF LISTENING CLASSES TAUGHT BY YOU…..

THANKS AND REGARDS,
Satish..

Satish Kumar Gande

Hi james
I saw your so many videos. They all are really awesome. Your explanation is really funtastic, but in this video you didn’t explain with putting any example, so I didn’t understand properly. Actually I am preparing for TOEFL. I think there is no more time of reading so many paragraphs many times because of the time limit, so in this situation what should I do for understanding axactly? Please reply me. Thanks

Bhavya

    I’m Brasilian and when I saw James explain how to do to understand what we read, I realise that we have to find a logic, it is the way to understand a text
    actually, werever you are, or language you speak, you have to think in the logic way.
    Did you undertand me?
    see you.

    Odmar Spada

hi james

thanks my teacher I really haven’t seen a lesson like your lesson before
it’s not a compliment I’m honest I understand them easily

I have a suggestion

I think it better to allow students downloading the lessons

I would like to download them but I’m not allowed to

thanks teacher again
waiting for more

Majid

My 9yo son has difficulty reading and comprehension, so thank-you so much for this – we are going to try the technique out.

A teacher many years ago gave me this tip :

Most of what a paragraph is trying to say is in the opening sentence. The closing sentence usually summarises what the paragraph has said. So, for the purposes of getting through (a lot of) reading he advised
1. read the first sentence
2. read the last sentence
3. If you need more information or understanding then read the whole of the paragraph. Doing 1 and 2 has given you the context and a pointer as to what the writer is trying to get across and usually contains supporting arguments or facts.

rubysaphire07

so if i want to read a 600 page book i have to read it 3 times to understand it? i think this is wrong..

wha?

Hi all,
First of all thx for the web page,i just wonder why do u use youtube for videos,i see u dont take money from members,bbut as soon as u built a web page like this,video adding shouldnt be a big problem.Kindly requesting you to use another video share platform as youtube is banned in turkey for about 2 years.I can watch lessons as i use university based internet,But other people can’t.

best regards…

Mc2

    It’s really too bad that Turkey and other places like China and Iran have banned YouTube, since there are so many great, educational videos on the site. Unfortunately, we would have to charge money to access engVid if we hosted the videos ourselves. As for other platforms, they don’t have nearly as many users. We need the most possible people to see the lessons, so right now YouTube is the best option, though that may change in the future.

    engVid

Hi sir,

thank you so much for your lesson, it’s really useful for me!!!

and now, I have a small question..that I don’t know when we use ” may have” or just “might have”, and when we just use “may” and “might” to suitable witth? and could you please lecture exactly the mean of them when we use?

thanks and regards,
Ánh

vianh

Hi James,
I find very difficult to read english. you see, If there is any complex or compound sentence to be read I can’t understand, when I read 1st time. Another thing is while we are talking we use conjunction to speak so I have some problem in conjunction part too . How to resolve this problem? If you could help me I would be happy.

Thanks

Dear sir,

Hello, my name is Ronald Hsu, I am 20 who r studying in Hong Kong City University associate degree. I do not know the reasons why I join the Ielts examination two times, but I still cannot obtain a score over 6.5. the highest one only got band 6.0. After watched your English video teaching, I got to learn a lots, but may I got to know and learn more about others’ part of the Ielts examination. Because my mother language is Cantonese rather than English. And I think that my grammar is my main difficulty for coping with the Ielts examination. Perhaps I wanna ask you one question rite here, how could I read the whole article as soon as possible during the Ielts examination. Because I think that it is impossible to read three times in 1 part during the Ielts reading test.

Poor ronald

Hello James! Its a good lesson. Thank you. It helps me. Anyway James, I don’t know how to differenciate between:-

1) I watched it
2) I was watching it
3) I have watched it
4) i have been watching it
5) I had been watching it
6) I had watched it

Can you help me with this. Im malay.

Qadri

Thanks a lot. Really, you are amazing.

alsaif

Hey james thank you very much for your teaching skill. And most of the time i use to read the newspapers without understanding the meaning and after that i use the dictionary to find the meaning for those words. You and this website is more helpful for us thanks

Ah ok, I’ll follow your advice, because when I read something I always stop when I find a word that I don´t know its meaning, you can imagine how much time I take the readings.

Thank, Friend.

Hello James,

I just received the news that my children are having problems with reading comprehension. What surprised me the most was my son’s reading comprehension state score because his vocabulary score is in the high 90’s. Why is this so? Also, my daughter’s reading comp. is affecting her writing. Both children only speak English. I speak Spanish/English but I do not speak Spanish at home and I do not have problems speaking or writing English at all. Help?

Desperate Mom

Marie

Hello James,

I left out the reading comprehension state score was in the low 70’s.

Dear James,

I am preparing for IELTS General but having difficulties in Reading section. In my last 2 exams I got 6 Bands in Reading Whereas, Other sections were quite good (L-8, S-7.5, W-7). Even though I am doing good in mock test’s, My real exam was horrible. I need your help and valuable tips on how to excel in Reading. Because of that only, I am not able to process my Immigration.

Narendra
India

Narendra

I think you can’t spend so much time on reading section on test day. You have only 60 minutes to read passages and answer to 39 or more questions.
So, I think James, you failed about this tip. May be this method can be helpful for reading books or news but not on TOEFL IBT!

shashafromrussia

hi,James! Thank you a lot for this video! It was ver helpful to me.

Hi James. i need your advice in graphs. I don’t know how to describe them. I went to the IELTS course but I think it’s better to study by yourself. It’s difficult to understand graphs and describe because even graphs show me the information I don’t know how to start and about what write. Thanks

pooh

hello Mr James, pls can u help me because since my secondary i dnt know how to read very well.

Nyakno Batholomew

Hi
how many marks do you need for a level 6 in englsh comprehension

Jane

pooh you have to follow this steps before the ILETS test and get more practice in reading ,so in the test day you will be able to understand directly. You shoudn`t follow this steps in that day just try to read the Qs first and think [what is the passage gonna talk about?] then search about the answer by reading fastly. I`m sure that will help you to save your time and your energy also.{hope for you a best}

Most tests of comprehension are satisfied to provide levels of comprehension they lack provisions for targeting specific comprehension needs. The most fundamental aspects of comprehension and cognition are ignored. There is a 21st Century method of assessment that will greatly assist teachers in diagnosing and correcting several aspects of comprehension. It is called the Informal Reading- Thinking Inventory or IR-TI (Manzo, Manzo & McKenna 1995, 2004, Cengage publishers). The IR-TI with years of research in the making is organized around the three most fundamental abilities to comprehend, namely the assessment and comparison of abilities to read the lines, read between the lines and read beyond the lines. This instrument puts a sharper point on comprehension needs. This multifaceted instrument has proven especially useful in working with second language learners. Uniquely it also helps to identify weaknesses in seemingly proficient readers and strengths in weaker readers.

Hi Sir James(By the way, do I have to capitalize the word “sir”),

I am confused on how to write a certain topic. I have a question. My question is: Is it okay if my essay would exceed to 5 paragraphs? I don’t exactly know how to write an article. I don’t know how to write a certain topic on a bond paper.

I am just 13 years old. I am very eager to learn English, James.

I hope you will answer my question and my request.

Thank you. You’re one of my idols. 13 yrs.

Jeevesjc

    Do not read the phrase “13 yrs”.

    Jeevesjc

      By the way James, Uhmm… in writing a letter, why is it that the sender’s name in between two hyphens like this:

      …………………………………..
      ……………………………………
      ……………………………………

      ……………..

      – Jeevesjc –

Hello James
First, I want to thank you for this lesson is very effective,
Second, I want to improve my reading comprehension, but I want to point out a problem. Sometimes I meet with words that are similar and it’s a little hard to understand the differences between them. I mean I know the translation of these words but I do not know what the translation of what
For example: effluent, affluent, fluent

avishay

    That’s a good point! Some words that are very similar are also close in meaning, but not in this case. “Fluent” means proficient; “affluent”, rich; and “effluent”, outflow (e. g. wastewater that flows out from a factory).

    However, they all come from the same word as flow. A fluent speaker’s words flow smoothly. Money flows to (and from) a rich person. While English has roots in several languages, looking at the meaning of a root word can often help you make sense of similar-sounding words with different meanings.
