Tips
Before you start reading
Don't start reading straight away. First look at the title, the picture and highlighted words. These can help you understand what the text is about.

While reading
It will be very very difficult to understand everything you are going to read.
If you see a word you do not know, it is very important to ask yourself if this word is important to understand the text. If you understand the text without knowing the word, there is no need to use a dictionary. If the word is important to understand the text (and / or to answer questions) go ahead and use your dictionary! Just make sure you don't use the dictionary all the time!
