Lesson 2: Passage Reading

Reading Techniques when Reading Passages:
 Don’t forget to read the title
 Emphasize the keywords. They are usually related to the title.
 Pause at each comma and period.
 Try your best with pronunciation
 Don’t read too fast or too slow
 When you see a word you don’t know, do not skip or stop. Instead,
try to guess the sound from its spelling and pretend that you know
it.
 Read the passage with confidence. The interviewer is looking at your
willingness to communicate more than the accuracy of your reading.
Practice 1 – Couch Surfing

Many people enjoy traveling to different countries, but
sometimes it can be very expensive to stay in hotels. To
lower the cost of traveling , some travelers, especially
young ones, look for local people who will be happy to let
them sleep on their couches. In return, the travelers will
offer their couches for other people who visit their home
countries. As a result, they can make many new friends,
and they can also save a lot of money while they travel.
Practice 2 – Reverse Culture Shock

When people encounter different cultures, they sometimes
experience culture shock. But as people learn about and
become very comfortable with different cultures, they may
also experience something known as “reverse culture shock”
when they return to their home country. For example, if a
Japanese person gets used to taking a shower in the morning
in America, they may fell strange when they comeback to
Japan and take a bath in the evening. It may sound
surprising, but reverse culture shock is just as real as culture
shock.
Practice 3- English Immersion Education

Recently, English immersion education is becoming popular
in Japan. In English immersion programs, English is used as
the main language for teaching, learning, and
communicating. So, when the students are at school, they
speak only English with their teachers and friends. In this
way, the students become very fluent in English while
maintaining their Japanese outside of the school. If you want
to become a good speaker of English, an English immersion
education may be a good option to consider.
