Answer 1

E. Read the whole text once and then talk to anyone about what you read (only the main ideas). While talking notice the confusion in your mind while it tries to add coherence and sense to what you are speaking. Use the text to fill up the gaps you got from talking about it while your are doing it. Move on to something else. The day after notice the clarity and the fluidity you have speaking of it again. Just read the whole text again and your unit is assimilated.
