When I was taught English in my country a lot of my teachers said that "don't read the whole paragraph" or "focus only on key words" or "look carefully at the beginning and ending sentences of the paragraphs" blah blah blah. These are only tricks to pass the tests, not to really become better at a language, not mention it sounds like you don't know enough about the language to do the test.I understand that reading makes perfect but now I'm kinda stuck here. I'm at the level where articles from "easy japanese" sites (pretty good sites, though) are too easy and ordinary articles are too difficult. Guess I'll have to build my vocabulary first.</blockquote>
