5. Guess the reading method. The guessing reading method refers to a reading method based on the topic you know or the previous article you have read, guessing the content behind in advance, and then confirming and comparing it with the actual content of the following article.

The guessing reading method transforms the reader's perspective into the author and puts himself in the author's shoes to consider the arrangement of the content of the work, so that the reading activity is always in a highly active and positive thinking state, which is helpful to improve the reader's cognitive judgment ability and creative ability. With the improvement of guessing accuracy, the time for readers to master the content of works will be greatly reduced, so guessing ability will also play an important role in improving fast reading ability. The guessing method is most common in reading works with plots, such as The Old Man and the Sea. When reading that San Diego has just met a shark, readers can guess how the author will write about his contest with the shark. What will be the final outcome?

After guessing, you should focus on reading the relevant parts of the original text and compare the guessed content with the original content. Consistency means that we have a good and accurate understanding of the work, while inconsistency means that our understanding or the author's handling of the content is problematic. In constant guessing, comparing and summarizing, the ability of guessing and reading will be continuously improved, and the ability of thinking and creativity will be well exercised.
