On October 21, I attended a Workshop which was about Strategic reading with the writing center. Maybe I came into that room too early because no student there except me. I knew that students wouldn’t be interested in this kind of workshop. So was I. although there were a few students in the room, the staff sill actively made a short introduction and began to lead us into the topic in detail. From this workshop, I knew that active reading was really an active way for me to get the important information from reading many pages every day. Of course there are many strategies to read effectively, but it depends on witch strategy is suit to me. At the end of the workshop, I took some practices. What an inconspicuous helpful workshop it was.
