Reading easy articles is more important than reading Difficult articles.
My experience in Toeic is that I have to read quickly then I'll get much better scores in part 2 section called Reading. Actually ,The contents of Toeic test in reading section are not difficult for me. If I have enough time , I will do well. However , this is a examination , I think the goal of Toeic test want to test SPEED in reading rather than understanding the meaning of articles. They need is that you should have the abilities to read or listen like a native speaker. So Speed is really really important in Toeic test. If you can't improve your speed at Toeic , mabye you speak or read English like native CHILDREN.
I think I make a mistake in Reaing after reading steven's article about Reading is important. Before taking the Toeic test , my viewpoint in learning English is that If I can read difficult articles , I also fully understand diffiuclt articles. Mabye it is right viewpoint. However , mostly I spend much time reading and I don't fully understand the meaning of sentence. I still get some new words from those diffiult articles. I know the meaning of new word but not fully familiar with them. Because I din't make it a part of life , the words are not useful. The words from difficult articles also difficult words. I mean It is hard to make it a part of my life. Recently I try to focus on reading some words in articles I already know before but I am not familar with. I found If I can fully understand the meaning of words then I will confidence using them . Then also easy to have a conversation with people. It seems like the speed of reading also become more quickly.
