I spent 30 minutes to read[reading] the article, I found there are many words I am not familiar with, and some sentences are difficult to understand.
I think one of my problems is [my]lack of vocabulary[Or:..I have a very small vocabulary]. I have met this problem when I read other English articles, and I tried to solve it by memorizing [the new]words. But when I use this method, it always came out another problem that I can’t really remember all the words.
Another problem is the understanding, when I read the article, I can’t help translating (translate)it into Chinese. I know this is a bad habit for us to learn English, but I don’t know how to deal with it.
The two problems above slow down my reading speed, I dare not to read English novels because it will take me lots of time. So I just read English in the exams and assignments. It forms a bad circle[We usually use : vicious cycle ]? of learning English.
