We often hear children say, "I have finished reading this book, but I can't remember the contents in it." What should we do better at this time?
In fact, we need to realize that we do not read books just to "remember" the content in the book. The purpose of our reading can be roughly divided into these three.
The first is to gain knowledge. For example, dinosaurs are divided into carnivorous and vegetarian, and they have different names. There are many kinds of creatures in the ocean. This way we have more knowledge. We will forget some things, which means we don’t use them often.
The second is to understand the principle. For example, in physics experiments, how the lights are on and why things fall off. Understanding the principles will allow you to fully understand various phenomena in the world.
The third is to gain education. For example, if you read "The Old Man and the Sea", you will know that as long as you fight against difficulties, even if you fail, it will be noble.
The first purpose is the easiest to achieve, the second one you need to read with doubts, and the third one needs to read in depth, because education is slowly formed through the resonance and touch you produce when you read, and it is an indescribable thing.
So you have to distinguish what type of book you are reading, and then choose different ways of handling it. Some should reread it, some should recite it, and some should forget it.
