阅读理解     If you want to become a fluent English speaker and be good at writing, you should take some advice. There are four skills in learning English which are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must bear in mind is that reading and listening are inputs whereas speaking and writing are outputs. In other words, if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.     Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the structure, unfamiliar words etc. as you read. There is no need that you pay attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognise them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.     As for listening, there are two choices: aside from reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, and then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practise listening.     For listening I advise cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy and do not contain difficult phrases or slang (俚语) terms. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs broadcast every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.     If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically (自动地), and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect. （1） According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?
