The Effect of Reading--Comments by miguel

The following is a message recently left on my 2009/9/15 entry. I'd like to put it on my blog as an entry to share with those who want to have a good command of English and those who want not to sweat the standardized tests such as TOEFL, GMAT, etc. when they consider taking the tests.

努力加上天份及養成愛看書習慣是考高分的先決條件,就以我兒子來說他高一暑假回台考托福那時舊弎的托福考670,高三要申請大學因保留二年,時間超過,又考一次進步三分673,然均未補習,SAT考了1540分,順利申請美國學校,此次回台本想申請美國研究所,而想参加GRE的考試準備了半個月,經我的建議申請英國研究所転而要考GMAT及托福,因平常有養成愛看書的習慣,托福沒準備就報名去考,結果得到119分,我想這就實力吧,GMAT準備了一個月左右,大部份的時間準備數量部份結果考了770分佔99%(Q50,V45)也就英文部份在98%,不輸給美國人,因此對於語言,尤其外國語,要好必需從小打下基礎,英文才能贏人一些,寫此篇的目的既在此.謝謝讓我發表淺見.

My comments: I'd like to thank miguel for sharing his son's experience. His son's story proves that extensive reading does enhances language learning to a great extent.

It was a pity that miguel didn't mention his son's background. Where did his son come back to Taiwan from when he finished his first year of high school to take his firstTOEFL?
