Reading

When reading texts quickly it is often very easy to misunderstand what the author was trying to say.

To avoid misunderstanding, read their words carefully and try to see things from the author's point of view.

It can also help to think of what the author has NOT said or left in doubt - this may help you form questions in your own mind.
