Winning Tips to increase your reading speed
As we read, our eyes move along the line in a series of jerky movements, stopping at each word.
Fast readers usually taken in 3-4 words in each movement that their eye makes. The more words you can take in with each movement of the eye, the faster your reading will be.
- Try to avoid focusing on every word, but rather look at groups of 2 to 3 words. e.g. the above sentence could be read as:
Try to avoid / focusing on every work/but / rather look at / groups of 2 to 3 words. - If you find yourself moving your lips when reading, force yourself to read faster by following the first point above so that you can no longer move your lips.
- Read more! 15 minutes a day of reading an average size novel equals 18 books a year at an average reading speed!
- Determine your purpose before reading. If you only need main ideas, then allow yourself to skim the material. Don't feel you must read very word.
- Spend a few minutes a day reading at a faster than comfortable rate (about 2 to 3 times faster than your normal speed). Use your hand or an index card to guide your eyes down the page. Then time yourself reading a few pages at your normal speed. You'll find that often your normal reading speed will increase after your skimming practice.
- If you have poor concentration when reading, practice reading for only 5 - 10 minutes at a time and gradually increase this time.
- There are several books on increasing reading
speed available in most bookstores. If
you are serious about increasing your rate you may want to
work systematically through one
of these books.
Any link or page for syllogisms explaining 3 statements or 4 subject problems ??? thanks 😃
WORD USAGE :
ASSURE is something you do to a person, a group of people, or an animal to remove doubt or anxiety.
Eg : Ram assured that he would come to the party early.
You can remember that assure can only be used with things that are alive (and both assure and alive start with a). Only things that are alive can feel doubt or anxiety, so only they can be assured.
ENSURE is something you do to guarantee an event or condition, as in To ensure there'd be enough food, Ram ordered twice as much food as last year.
You can remember that guarantee has those two e's on the end to help you remember that to ensure (with an e) is to guarantee something.
Don't ever let somebody tell you, you can't do something. Not even me, alright? You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you that you can't do it. You want something, go get it. Period...
RC:
Okay, I'm getting tired of it now. If 'A Lion Among Men' were the second book in "The Wicked Years," I would have probably liked it as much as I liked the actual second book in "The Wicked Years." It's a similar formula: take a not-terribly-sympathetic minor character and flesh him out in context. It's the Cowardly Lion's backstory this time. We saw Brrr (did Baum name him that?) in a couple of brief cameos in Wicked, and now it's an illumination of the life lived in between being a motherless cub and a surprised, chucked-aside adult member of the Dorothy team, as well as some events after. More engagingly, Maguire also fleshes out several of the bizarre bit players that have been circling the margins of the story till now.
And really, more of this and less of that, please. It starts off well, with a heretofore rare Yackle point of view, a scene from the scarred eyes of the old bat that's been pestering the characters with prophetic catcalls for a couple of books now. She demands her fellow nuns to lower her into the crypt, to hasten the end of the burden of her life and sweep her out after a year. The suicide is a near-comical, near-chilling failure. Deliciously macabre, ("wicked"), which is not my go-to place for entertainment, but a hell of an entrance in this case. The other secondary characters are almost this good too, but soon enough we're with the Lion again, and his personal history gets the, ....Lion's share of print. Some new folds in the character are revealed, and it wasn't badly done, but it more colored in the outline of his character than expanded it. And it costs us readers 200 pages of retreading old backstory, even while the author is telegraphing a larger plot and doing nothing about it. Now that these Oz books are a committed series instead of an entertainingly revisionist standalone, now that it's a story arc in other words, there's an entirely different pacing at play. Or maybe it was all fine, and it was just too soon to get back in.
The history of the Cowardly Cub picks up after his escape from the University lab, and he finds himself in the wilderness, subsisting without meat, and, Frankenstein-like, without language. He picks up the art of words by spying on humans, and boy, he's quick with that. The author isn't about to let inexperience get in the way of a few good puns or a little witty banter. Like Shelley's creature, or like old Quasimodo, the young Lion craves acceptance, and commits love straightaway, which, due to his disconnectedness from the world, has brutish results. Neither does he fit in with Oz's disenfranchised talking Animals, and his life flits between the spheres, from an uncomfortable society Animal, to an uncomfortable outcast. Poor Brrr isn't quite as likable as he might be. He has a tendency for vanity, self-absorption and conflict-avoidance, but it's clear they'd have only ever been venial sins were he not pushed around by circumstances. The tragedies aren't so much that people suffer for his failures to act, but rather that he keeps ending up in situations where his inaction matters. A hard thing to illustrate.
Which of the following is not used by the author as a justification or reason why the novel 'A lion among men' becomes boring or less interesting for him?
a) The fact that the books of the "The Wicked Years" fall into a series which is maintained in a committed fashion instead of creating something entirely new.
b) The author builds a larger plot which could have been developed well instead of the lion "Brr's" backstory.
c) The new aspects in the personal history of the lion do not add anything significant to the depth of the lion's character.
d) The lion "Brr.." is a character with brief cameos in earlier novels, who has been made the "major character" in the present novel.
All of the following can be inferred from the passage
except:
1. Brr feels like an outcast basically due to his being a motherless cub.
2. People do not suffer when Brr fails to act, but at the same time Brr keeps ending up in situations where his actions have adverse consequences.
3. The lion receives exaggerated importance to the detriment of secondary characters.
4. Brr's tendency for vanity, self-absorption and conflict avoidance would not have been a sin had he not been pushed around by circumstances.
a) 1 and 2
b) 2 and 3
c) 1 and 3
d) 1, 3 and 4
Which of the following is NOT a part of the story in the novel "A lion among men" according to the author?
a) A suicide attempt which gives a gruesome yet humorous feel.
b) Humour brought out in spite of constraints.
c) A readily likeable protagonist who evokes immediate sympathy due to his being an outcast.
d) A protagonist who is surprisingly quick to acquire linguistic skills despite his circumstances.

@eshanrock
Baba How about this for inspiration? It is one of the few poems that I could understand and appreciate
The Man In The Glass
When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what that man has to say.
For it isn't your father, or mother, or wife
Whose judgment upon you must pass
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.
He's the fellow to please - never mind all the rest
For he's with you, clear to the end
And you've passed your most difficult, dangerous test
If the man in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you've cheated the man in the glass.
Peter Dale Wimbrow Sr.
DIRECTIONS : Choose the option that represents the most logical order of the given sentences.
A. One measure of the strength and importance of the feminist movement is the extent to which philosophers from a broad spectrum - from conservatives to radicals or from historians of ancient philosophy to deconstructionists - now view the discussion of gender issues as an important part of their discipline.
B. Not only this, many regard it as central to the very rationale of their research initiatives.
C. Using a parallel yardstick, the environmental movement has grown rapidly in strength and importance and one should expect a much more explosive agenda at global conferences.
D. The range of philosophers who address environmental issues is probably as broad as that discussing gender, which is as much an achievement for the philosophers as it is for the environmentalists.
E. Given this rapid and dramatic rise of philosophical concern for environmental issues, we should expect and welcome serious disagreements about both the underlying conceptual and historical reasons for human destruction of the environment and the proposed solutions.

DIRECTIONS : Which of the following will logically complete the paragraph below?
Existentialism is a neo-modern, philosophical construct that a further, authentic set of categories is necessary to grasp human behavior. Approaching existentialism categorically like this may conceal its “heart” i.e. its character of an uprising antithetical to academic philosophy, its anti-system sensibility, its flight from the “iron cage” of reason.
1. Nevertheless, our quest for a new categorical framework continues apace.
2. Nevertheless, popular existentialist themes find a renewed philosophical significance in our quest for a new categorical framework.
3. Nevertheless, popular existentialist themes are a recurrent motif and find an echo in humanistic psychology, too.
4. Nevertheless, he who has a way to live can bear almost anyhow.
