Active Reading Assignment

I try to read the article in the way that we discussed in class, but I think I'm failed because I still don't understand some of the contents. First, I carefully read the table of contents, and try to understand the outline of the article. Then, I start to read the article multiple times. I read this article paragraph by paragraph because I think it will help me to understand the meaning of each paragraph. When I read the article, I underline some words and sentences, which I think it is important. After repeated reading, I understand most parts of the article. However, no matter how many times I read, I just can’t get all the meaning. I think this active reading help me to understand the article because although I can’t get all the meaning, I learn how to effectively understand the meaning of the article.
