The author of this article is Ms. Shi Shangyi. Thank you for authorizing the “Writing Power” website to reprint it.

Let me start by saying that this “adult” does not mean the 18-year-old ban. If you want to see the 18-year-old ban, well, let’s discuss it privately and in a low-key manner.

In other words, why do people want to study?

Everyone’s reasons are different. For me, reading is an operation manual to master life. When I’m not sure what to do, or know what to do but don’t know how to do it, I rely on various books to point me in the direction and reduce the chance of making mistakes (usually accompanied by stupidity). Therefore, the ability to read is even more important!

There may be many people who have similar ideas to me, so the “Enhancing Reading Skills” opened by TeSA was quickly filled up. Fortunately, I was quick and was able to grab the last few spots.

The reason why the quota is easily sold out is because the lecturer is Vista?

Vista will be respected as a V-Master. In addition to his efficient reading ability, which takes an average of 20 minutes to finish a book, Vista is also an admirable legend because of his profound knowledge and ability to always comprehend books. I often meet him at reading clubs, and whenever we talk about any topic, he can recommend the most helpful books, or even create books directly from the backpack behind him, which can be called a mobile scripture library. You need to defeat 18 bronze men to enter the Sutra Pavilion of Shaolin Temple, but if you join the TeSA reading club, you will have the opportunity to pick up the broken jade treasures that drop from time to time in the V’s Sutra Pavilion. Signing up for the “[Advanced Reading Skills] (https://www.vistaschool.today/2015/10/tesa-reading-skills-course.html)” course will directly package a dozen of internal skills for you, which is really cool!

This is a reading lesson for adults.

When we were young, when we said that a person “can read”, it usually meant that the person could memorize every detailed knowledge point in the textbook, and then draw inferences about other cases, so that he could get the highest score no matter how the questions were asked in the exam. This was probably the highest state of excellence back then.

But should adults still read like this?

In this class at V University, I discovered that the first challenge in some people’s reading careers is actually not being able to choose books or choosing the wrong books, which then leads to problems such as incomprehension or inability to read. Education in Taiwan is often textbook-centered. Even for extended reading, you often have to wait for the professor to issue a book list, so you are not very good at choosing books. It seems understandable when you think about it?

In the course, V University focused on this point and introduced many famous book selection rules so that everyone can learn and imitate them according to their own characteristics. In addition, he also provided a small note that many celebrities did not mention at all. If you have ever been deceived by a publisher’s eye-catching but unrealistic book titles, or even miserably been tricked into buying repackaged used books, V University’s book selection tutorial can help you spend 30 more seconds to escape the life of being deceived by an unscrupulous publisher.

Then, another important point is how to read fast.

How fast do you want to read?

I heard that if you practice speed reading well, thousands of words per minute won’t be a problem. But just like being good at mental arithmetic is helpful for logic and calculation, it will not make you a Bill Gates. It seems that there are very few famous people who are successful simply because they are good at speed reading.

Eating everything quickly, a common result is indigestion. Therefore, if you really want to be “fast”, you should cultivate the ability to “pick out the key points”. Grasping the key points and reading only the key points is naturally faster. Since there are no details to interfere, you will still remember the key points after reading. It is far better than reading a book at super speed without skipping a word, and then only remembering some funny jokes here and there.

Therefore, what V University talks about is very practical content - the skills of “skimming” and “scanning”. It also points out that with different reading purposes, when should you skim and when should you scan? Let everyone learn how to grasp the key points at a glance. Reading books with such purpose really improves your efficiency a lot!

Of course, empty knowledge is just a castle in the air. No matter how much you read, you still have to be able to apply and display it. V University finally added RIA note-taking tips and took everyone to practice it, so that everyone’s reading ability can be transformed into competitiveness in life instead of just talking about a set of big principles.

Say goodbye to the past and read from an adult perspective.

In fact, many people in society are not lazy, and are willing to spend time reading to enrich themselves. However, they just can’t finish reading, cannot understand it, and forget it all within two days after reading. It is said that “books are good teachers and helpful friends”, but why is it so difficult to understand even though it is written in Chinese, it seems like it is from an alien planet?

V University’s “Enhancing Reading Skills” course solves this problem. It allows us to bid farewell to the reading rules of good students who are obsessed with reading, and also allows us to re-establish a mature and intimate relationship with books.
