It is often said that wide reading is the best of action advanced students to follow if they want to improve English, but here it is necessary to some kind of selection. It is no telling students to go to the library and out the first book they come . My own advice to them is: 'read what you can understand having to look up in a dictionary (but not what you can understand at a ; read what you have time (magazines and newspapers than novels you can read the novel in a week or so); read the English written today, not 200 years ; read as as you can and try to remember it was written rather than individual words that puzzled you.' Of course, of saying 'read', I could just as say 'listen to'.
