You might not be aware that you are learning something, but technically you are learning a lot while spending your time on reading newspaper or books.

 

  • Avoid learning from social media – Just avoid learning from social media because there are so many grammatical errors on social media, so take good books and good newspaper articles to improve your reading skills.

 

  • Searching new words and their meaning – Try to underline new words and write their meanings. Also see the sentence formation, how sentences are formed and how similar words are used differently in different sentences. Try to understand how the meaning of same word changes in the different type of sentences. More you read more you learn. So, if you are reading again and again, technically you are improving your reading skills and this will help you in PTE Reading especially in fill in the blanks section.

 

  • Avoid reading same articles again and again – Reading same articles online, again and again, will not improve your reading skills until and unless you are reading from newspapers or new articles online.

 

  • Try to maintain a PTE note book – In that particular note book, try to paste the newspaper cuttings, your underline words, means of words in that particular note book and you can just note down some of the common collocation, sentences, and synonyms words. So for an average student, you really need to maintain a PTE notebook for reading.
