I have a suggestion Mark, and that is to read 1st paragraph first, then questions quickly, then the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs, again questions quickly, and finally the last paragraph. please notice that at the second and third time of going over the questions less time is required because you already have some of them answered. This really works for me.
Great strategy!
That was exactly my strategy in practice
Amir Mostafavi ydgvvx
Strongly agree!! Because nobody knows if the first question is in the D paragraph, that would just simply make us anxious, in this limited time. However, with the paragraph goes, the number of questions which is left also goes down.
Iranian are the master of strategy.
Mark , you are awesome! I apply your strategy to do the Reading for information test n it works extremely well. I got 10 in Reading n all the credits go to you!
Will buy you a coffee!
Once again, thank you for the sharing n coaching!
In my opinion, reading speed and comprehension could be improved through regular reading of both printed and electronic materials in English. If one spends at least 1.5 hours every day actively reading any material, in the persons reading speed and comprehension would eventually improve. Moreover, such a person's vocabulary would also improve due to regular reading.
any suggestions what we have to read?
Reading and writing, I think we must do it every day , but it is very good to hear somebody who speaks English like you.
Thank You so much for sharing these tips and information. It really helped me a lot on how to organize and strategize my reading test. đđŒ
Very much appreciated for making this video, great tips you have there. Thank you so much. This task out of all the reading is the most difficult tasks i have trouble with. Thanks and wish me luck with my Celpip test in a week time. :)
Hey Marc, you are doing a fantastic job please keep on doing this. Very helpful for exam takers.
Thank you from my đ. You are really kind and you help us a lot.
Im a slow reader, for my opinion the good strategy to enhance my reading and writing is practice and listen carefully in a speaker like you because you are good teacher and the words is easy to understand.
I really love watching your video, well done Mark.
I think i would love to see you do a reading video where you would stick to the time as in the actual exam and get the answers right because reading is my major challenge in this test because i am very slow at reading and if i try to read fast i can but i will lose the understanding of what i am reading.
Hi Mark,
I am really thankful for your writing structure for task 1 and task 2. I scored 11 with a practice of 1 week before my exam. Those pre-defined structures really gave me an edge in my writing part.
Keep up the good work!
Hi, can we please connect as you opted for exam recently and I need some inputs on the same
Hi Mark, i am driving towards my celpip exam, doing prep first time by watching your video :) wish me luck
HEYYY Mark, Thank you so much for your materials! I got the score I need!! LOVE YOU!
During the video you are humorous so keep going like that. Make people happy, nice video quality.
you are doing a great job...Please continue buddy
In my opinion, first of all, the best way to improve reading speed and comprehension is to have such a goal. After the goal is clear we can proceed forward and try to see what is logically going to help us with that. I personally would prefer to start with reading any English book according to the estimation of my reading level and vocabulary. Being honest with myself I simply start reading the material I can handle and writing down all the unknown words for making my vocabulary more advanced.
Also, it is very important to keep on going to my goal and never give it up, knowing that practice in every aspect of my life will make my endeavor perfect. These are the methodological principles I would use in improving my reading speed and comprehension.
Thank you, Mark for your videos! They are very helpful.
Awesome! đđ
Thank you Mark. I just took two- three sessions of your tutorials and got 9,9,10,9 in exam. Guess I could have saved $100 that I put in to buy the exam material!
Wow! lol. CONGRATULATIONS! đđ
@@priscillaafari8894 Hi. Do you need any suggestion ? You can share your comment here if you do not mind.
Hi Gaurav,congratz on your score.kindly let me know the strategy you opted to get high marks.
@@gauravzoop Hi Gaurav,
Kindly share your strategy to achieve the coveted score in Celpip.
Thanks.
Thank you . U are awesome.the best teacher
awesome, when i take this practice test i only get 2 score but after i watched this video i almost perfect it. Very informative
Thanks for the Video.I used to read the sections in paragraph once/twice and then start looking for the answers.The Paraphrase is all over the sections.So i find its wise to cover all the sections and look for the answers rather than going the reverse way.I may be wrong in my approach but till now its working for me..and one more thing I just go for a quick glance rather than understanding each word.I am not a native speaker.So its not easy for me to know each word in the sections .So i used to complete the Paragraph to get an idea of the meaning of it.
Great idea! Yes, I think everyone will have a different approach to answering the questions. I think the important thing is that people have a strategy for how to answer each question, otherwise they'll waste time trying to figure out what they should do when they see the question.
You are awesome Mark! You videos are helping me a lot and you are the best tutor. There are few CELPIP materials online and your channel is perfect for all of us that are trying to improve the CELPIP scores and English skills as well.
Thank you so much! đA lot of people fail the exam on their first try, so I hope my videos help increase their chance of success!
*your videos...
Thank you again and again! you rock!
This funny drawing of the narwhal was very helpful to me. For me, nine minutes is not enough to do this exercise correctly. Your strategy for answering this is very good.Thanks .The text was very interesting.
That's great! đ€
thank you very for posting videos,this is very helpful to all test takers.
You're welcome!
Hi Mark,
Videos helped me a lot, however I didn't score well in reading always low score. Please share me some tips to get score score in next exam.
I was a very slow reader, but I think reading books definitely improve my reading speed and understanding.
Hey Mark. Thanks to you and your wonderful lessons,, i got 9998 in celpip. Unfortunately they deducted extra in speaking i am gonna get a re-evaluation
Perfect thanks Mark
I think the best way to improve our reading is that we should read lots of magazines and newspapers.
In my opinion to improve reading and comprehension, atleast read 1 hour a day and listen to someone or a video thats all about english.. In that case a person who can hardly read english can remember about the english word easily.
Your explanation is really understandable. I wish I could find a tutor like you for my speaking and writing. Thank you for making useful lessons!!! And there is nothing wrong with volume.
Thanks for your feedback! đ You're welcome! Where are you from?
I am from Korea. Many Koreans are used to reading a difficult article but not me!!! hahah đ
Haha, yes I've met lots of Asian students who have excellent reading but are afraid to speak!
Yes haha. It is because of the way of education. I live in canada. So I am not afraid of speaking english even though it is not a common sentence. Because I have to say something when I have to. Where do you teach english? Do you belong to any english institutions?
Right now I don't teach English at any institutions. I just teach privately over Skype.
What I generally incorporate is that I set myself timers for certain paragraphs and give myself tasks of understanding the theme of those paragraphs. Repeating the same process multiple times, you will become a fast reader.
Your strategy of reading the questions and then reading the paragraphs seems to suit me because, I am a fast reader. Thank you for this idea.
I am also trying a different strategy to tackle this section. The idea is to read the first paragraph, write down the topics in 2-3 word. Ideally, there will be not more than 2 or 3 topics that are discussed in each paragraph. After reading all the 5 paragraphs, you will have 12-15 words/ topics. You have 9 questions. Fitting After reading each question, you will have the words ready. I think this might work. I will let you know if I succeeded with this strategy by the end of tomorrow.
Hey, I tried this strategy and it did work big time. I got one incorrect answer and that was a silly mistake that I made. With practice, this strategy also seems to work.
That's awesome! đđ
U are the best teacher. I'm following u. Hopefully can get good score đđ
đđ
reading subtitles of the TV series "Sherlock" and/or reading the vanishing news headlines at the train stops can both help you to practice reading faster.
@Riad Ahmed Watching sherlock will improve overall english proficiency :P
It looks so nice practice actually
Hi Mark I really need a lot of reading practice test from your video because I tooked the exam last August 18 but sad to say I just get the ff scores 6-4-6-6 and I really disappointed because i only lacked one point for my reading test, but anyways your video really helps a lot during my exam especially the strategies you've been imparted with, hoping that for the 2nd time I will be doing great and can be proud of myself that I did it, have a nice day ahead....
I'm sure you will pass soon! đđ
@@MadEnglishTV thanks to youđđđđđđ
I am really slow reader, so I am worried about lack of time.
In my opinion, I start improving the ability of skimming and glancing to look for key sentences, phrases or words.
In additon, pharaphrazing ability is also important to get an answer quickly.
I'm a really slow reader too. I'll try to make more reading practice videos.
You are so helpful Mark
In my opinion reading newspaper regularly helps in improving our speed rather than reading literature like novel or any story..coz news have an excitement to read quickly..on more thing we can do like practicing question and answer after reading long passage...like we used to do in our school days..and atleast an hour to spend everyday..thank you
The best way to improve reading speed is have a good vocabulary advanced level. Text was complex for me, lots unknown words, I read with a dictionary. But this is normal. All information were interesting about the narwhal. Thank you very much Mr. MARK!
Yes, it was advanced for me too! đ You're welcome!

ĐĐŸĐ±ĐžĐ»Đ° ĐĐŸĐ±ĐžĐ»Đ° yes, youâre right

Hi Mark, Do you have any available new Reading Book? Finished your First book. Its challenging and Im learning a lot , Thanks!
Do you think the skimming and scanning is a good strategy as CELPIP webinar suggested? Because for me, 9 mins is not enough.
Practice. Practice. Practice. No other way
Great lesson! Im going to buy your book now :) by the way, in order to improve my reading speed and comprehensiom, I often find key words in the questions and try to infer to the meaning in those paragraphs
Thank you so much! đđ
@@MadEnglishTV No problem! I am learning on your writing book and there are some concerns that I would like to send you a quick email, so just want to confirm yours is madenglishtv@gmail.com, right?
Hi Mad,
are the question come in order? I mean first questions come from paragraph A, and then the rest of them for B,C,D,E?
In my experience, i failed two times in reading đ I know is not to late to cover up for the third round Celpip examination I started now to read the newspapers like star metro because is not bulky and updating news hopefully I can make this time đđđ»
đđYou can do it!
Bro, I have followed your pattern exactly the same way how you taught, but i hardly got 7 in my reading. I'm gobsmacked with that score as i had enough time to crosscheck my answers which i did successfully, i was expecting a level 10 in reading but they gave me 7.. My celpip experience was pathetic. I might opt to go for IELTS now. Thanks Anyways!
hello sir which one is easier ielts or celpip?
Will you please do more reading videos, very helpful
Okay!
Just like this, can we have multiple questions with 1 Paga as answer. Multiple A or B even in real exam?
How do we remember the questions. In exam we have to either memorize them or look back again and again?
I think for each question you should use a different strategy. I discuss that in my book!
Hi mark in your previous video u mention the link where I can practice reading test. Please Correct me if Im wrong is the wikipedia?
Yes, I recommended Wikipedia articles to practice reading. đ
Hi Mark, thanks for the very useful reading video, im very new to Celpip so im wondering can i do part 1 and part 2 quickly and go thru part 3 n 4, thats way i can save time for the more challenging parts, or it doesn't work that way at all, im used to IELTS reading strategy....please could you give me some advice, many thanks.
Hi :) Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way on CELPIP. You cannot carry time over to the next question.
Thanks.....
You're welcome!
Yeay! thanks for this information. I'm having trouble answering this part. out of 9 I only get 5. Your videos are really helpful.
You're welcome! đ Keep practicing! Your English will be perfect soon. đ€
Mad English TV thank you đ
Hi Mark.
Thanks for your enthusiastic always.
I have been studying with your video lately.
I purchased your PDF reading and speaking file.
but when I bought Speaking PDF. my laptop was broken. so that I used with my Ipad.
now I bought new laptop. so I want to study your speaking PDF which I already bought with my laptop. However, it was already expired to download through email. lol..
I still have in my Ipad, but I want to use with my laptop too.
is there any way to download again?
Hi Solmin đđ
Thanks for buying my book! Just send me an email to madenglishtv@gmail.com
Do u have sample practice test for us?
Hi Mark. Hope you are doing well. When do you think your reading book will be available
I was hoping it would be finished, but I've been procrastinating...sorry! I hope soon. đ
Hi Mark, I have watched all your videos related to different sections of CELPIP exam, and they are really good and helpful.However, you have not uploaded anything for the listening section. Please upload videos and tips for that section as well because I have to take my exam in next 3 days and your videos have helped me a lot to improve my score. I request you to please try to upload videos for parts 5 and 6 of the listening sections as these one are really difficult.
Okay! I'll try to do that soon! Three days is so soon! Can you postpone it till next week? đŹ
Thanks for the reply Mark, but unfortunately, I cannot postpone the examination date, please help me out here, I need the tips desperately, I understand its too hard for you, but just in case you can go out of the way. Thanks again !!
It's hard for me to make lessons on those parts because they are conversations with a few people. Haha. I'll try my best.
Pradeep Singh howâs is celpip exam?
Mad English TV Marc my celpip exam is very soon đđđ.thank you ur a great help
I need more speaking please
Hey, I think the best way to improve reading speed is to read a passage like we do in METV series listen and repeat and to improve the comprehension, you need to learn more vocabulary daily basis.
Narwhals are also referred to as death-like - puzzling - aboriginal folklore - mating behavior - pattern - jeopardy - endangered - mottled - harvested - corpse - lack dorsal fins - beaks - a thick layer of blubber - spiraling tusk - protrude - horn-like - embeded in the skull - roughly - algae - thus appearing - elders alike - harpoon rope - dragged - enables whales - intrigues - rubbing - for as-yet unknown reasons - theorise - aimed at displaying - scarce - are we done?
Take care!
Hi Mark, I have a confusion in 3rd part of reading. In one of your videos, you've mentioned a strategy to read paragraph first then scan all the questions ; however, in this video you've recommended a strategy, where the questions are to be read first then the paragraphs. My question is which strategy is to be followed for getting answers quickly ?
I think you should use a different strategy for each of the four tasks. In my CELPIP reading book, I discuss each of the strategies. đ
Okay thank you Mark !!!
Try to religiously practice reading books ,magazines, newspapers articles atleast 1-2 hours a day and watch English TV shows,news and movie, make it your everyday habit. Thats what im doing it today because soon im going to take this celpip exam soonđ
đđ
Can any one in this thread or Mark..can u pls tell me will they provide any notepad or paper to write something if I wish??then I am gonna write at least four questions first in shorthand while reafing them then start reading the passage..
The best way for improve reading is practice everyday. I read site from United States and Canada.
Tks teacher again!
Explain again teacher, please? Satinily meant in this passage!
Salinity means the amount of salt in the water.
To improve reading speed...we have to make a habit of readings news papers, or reading favorite subject magazine.
, story book etc. It can also help us if v read it on daily bases...so that our reading speed also increase accordingly..
You're right!
I found this video very complicated. But I am sure I will get used to it.
Best way to improve reading and comprehension is not to give up continuity of studying.
I'm sure by the time you come to Canada, you will easily pass the CELPIP exam!
Thank you!
I found the difficult part to choose option E (not in any of the passage) because you have to check it's not there in any of the passages. :D
Yes, that's a hard one!
hii mark..I am from India..i am really grateful to u for celpip exam tips nd material..can i get exam preparation books from u in india????
Hi! đđMy books are just PDF files that you can download from my website. www.metv.cool/celpip-speaking-book/
Are we allow to use the auto spelling ?
Yes
Could you please explain to us haw is it correct? I am at home or I am home
Both are correct! đđ
Hello Mark , How are you? I am Ruchi Shah. I am watching your CELPIP videos every day. I am planning to give this exam on next month. I bought a your speaking and writing book. But I am confusing with listening and reading, how can I practice with these two task. Could you have any suggestions? Also I watched your "Don't be perfect" video and As you said, Speak natural or as a native speaker, I like to way you speak and I want to speak like you. How can I improve that? Please suggest me.
Thanks.......
Hi đI'm working on a reading book right now. It will be ready in a few weeks! Then I will try to make a listening resource.
Hi Desi, How are you? Hope you will be good. I have few a question with you. As you said that you bought the speaking and writing book of Mark. Do you think it is worth it to buy? Is it helpful to you?
can we use ctrl f or notepad during the test
I don't think so.
Thanks Mark, when I did this question I face a problem, could not make it right just 2 correct out of 9 very sad.
Keep trying! You'll pass soon! đ€
Thank you so much for giving me a push, I appreciate it.
đ
This article is really hard to understand. Because there are many words I don't know. These unknown words are special terms.I think we need to read more articles and learn words in reading. If we have a large number of words, our comprehension ability and reading speed can be improved. :-)
Hey mark , how can I do practice for celpip exam Nd how can I get celpip material
Plz tell me
Have you used my books on my website?
How to I improve my reading
Practice is the key to improve reading speed and comprehension. You need hard work and practice more exercises like these to be better on this topic.
You're right! đ
this is a good way to get nice score in celpip exam but there are very low sound make your sound loud please
Okay! I'll increase the volume in future videos. Are you using headphones?
thanks ! if you do. yes I DO
Tough part
Question 5 - Russia, Greenland and Norway also have aboriginal people. It didn't mention Canadian aboriginal in the passage, just local aboriginal and the northern aboriginal legend could have been from any of these countries. I would have answered E, which would have been wrong. This question is confusing, anyone agree?
Hmm, well I think you can assume that all the reading passages will be about Canada unless it states otherwise.
@@MadEnglishTV Copy that đ I'm just overthinking things, as usual đ
Iâm slow Redding
you speak english whole life and celpip exam for foreign guys like you even see word ....
Is celpip exam something like eilts exam?
so difficult and only 9 minutes .....vocab is from mars
Watch video on 1.5X
Can u send me on my mail reading mock test
This is my worst enemy!
Haha!
S
The question is actually problematic because question 5, there is nowhere indicating the legend is from Canada. We can not have that information.
I could only think that the test is foolish and doesn't allow us to think
Narwhal is a mammal.... omg...
