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!

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 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.

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.

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,

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.

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?

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

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!

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.

I hope you will answer my question and my request.
Thank you. You’re one of my idols. 13 yrs.

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.

Hello James,
I hope you’re doing good!
I would like to ask you a question, I only have less than three weeks left for the Ielts Exam, and every time I do reading practices I get low score, I think i know why, I do not understand very well.
I have watched the video, but do you think if I follow this method, I will be ready for the exam, inspite of the remaining time?
Thankss!!

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.

THANKS AND REGARDS,
Satish..
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
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.
hi james
can you please tell how do to do quiz on this website
thanks
can’t find it
and your a good teacher
Hi hamidj, James hasn’t added quizzes for his lessons yet, but you will find them for most of the lessons of the other teachers on the site. You should see the quiz just below each of the lessons, above the comments.
Dear james,

Hi James, I am Neto from Brazil and I need your help, please. I am here in Canada (Vancouver) studying english…I can write, I can understand all your classes, but why I need to think in Portuguese before to speak in English??? I am afraid, because I will start working in October here in Canada and I am not comfortable about my speaking skills….help me please.
Love your classes, thank you very much my friend.
Bugagaga
Pure russian…Just I too^_^
By the way, thanks for the lesson James!!
Hi Alena.
I am looking for Speaking Partner.
If you want we can talk and practice our english.
Wow it’s really helpfull
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
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.

Thanks for your useful lesson…Now I’m learning IELTS course…I think my reading skill is not good. I suppose I can’t using your lesson to apply my reading test, so can you give me some advices for reading skill of IELTS?
Thanks you so much! best wishes for you! :)
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..
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…
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.
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
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.
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.
Thanks a lot. Really, you are amazing.
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
Hello James,
I left out the reading comprehension state score was in the low 70’s.
Desperate Mom
Dear Teachers,
Could you please make more videos about ielts preparation. How to manage the time in the real exam and some tips that will help answer the questions.
Many Thanks

Hey james,I have problems with comprehension,and I should be ashame because I am a 23 year old male..That is my weakness and I want to correct it…
Dear James,
I am preparing for IELTS General test. However, selecting appropriate heading for given paragraph is quite bit ambiguous for me.
Therefore, I would highly appreciate if you could help me with your views on how these questions should be tackled.
I will take on my exam on 7-Jan-12 so any suggestion prior to the test may count a lot for me.
Regards,
Narendra, India
Hi James
Your lessons are very helpfull. My husband will be writing he’s IELTS for the 7th time, and everytime the reading is the one to be failed. For some reason he can not get the headings correct. Is the some magic way or method to understand and connect the correct headings?????????????/
Your lessons are very helpful. I have just one quiestion. If i read a long story (novel), how should i learn the words from this? Thanks for your answer :-)
you are great thanks a lot mr: james
Happy new James, I hope you enjoyed your first of January. 2012
Very nice lesson. Thanks for your help.
I am not a child, but I am wondering if an adult can get your help as well..I have trouble with comprehension and I want to correct it,so if you help me, please do…
Hey James,I am wondering if you can help me with my comprehension..To me comprehension is important,if you cant comprehend,then you cant understand what is happening around you or in the world.
Did you really tell them to not read a dictionary. Spelling Bee.
Pls i read and i dn’t unstand,tell me how to read and understand.

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

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!
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

Thank you James for your and your colleagues lessons.
In IELTS test the time is not enough to follow this all steps.. can u help to IELTS reading part?
hello Mr James, pls can u help me because since my secondary i dnt know how to read very well.
Hi
how many marks do you need for a level 6 in englsh comprehension
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.

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.
Do not read the phrase “13 yrs”.
By the way James, Uhmm… in writing a letter, why is it that the sender’s name in between two hyphens like this:
…………………………………..
……………………………………
……………………………………
……………..

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

For example: effluent, affluent, fluent
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.
Thx u :) !
