- To solve this problem, it is necessary to understand the connection between paragraphs and paragraphs and understand the flow of contents.
- In other words, after reading a paragraph, you should immediately arrange the type/point/ keyword of the corresponding paragraph in the memo pad. -> If possible, structure the contents of the entire paragraph
- The funnel logic structure, which is generally narrow-down from the general content of the text to the detailed topic,
- It would be best if you could remember the details per paragraph, but if this is difficult, at least remember which point word or sentences are in which paragraph.
