Hence if you hope to gain a large number of needed information and keep pace with the times, you have to learn to read and improve your reading ability. Reading is the one of main ways to obtain knowledge and information for senior high school students. Also, it is one of the most significant four language skills. As we know, the listening, speaking, reading and writing are the four language skills. Reading is helpful for learners to develop their linguistic capacity. And reading comprehension takes the most crucial part in all kinds of English tests, even in the college entrance examination.

Through communicating with many teachers in senior high school, you can find easily that lead-in is just a waste of time in their mind. And teachers also always choose some outdated materials in the teaching process. In this case, the reading class must be extremely dull. And further more, the students’ interest cannot be stimulated.2. Failing to Develop Students’ Communicative CompetenceAs we all know, the input skills are reading and listening while the output skills are writing and speaking among the four basic language skills. In China, the people here say Chinese rather than English. Therefore, English learners have no language environment here. So reading is always regarded as the main methods for learners to gain knowledge and information. Therefore, it is a popular topic that how to cope with the relevance between input and output in the process of reading teaching. In the current reading class, teachers only follow the schedule of the college entrance examination. They almost spent all the time of a class on explaining linguistic。
