It was dinner time，yet I hadn’t finished my work for the day.①Cheery people who were
enjoying their holiday time buzzed around me.But with my head down and headphones in，I had
interacted with very few of them.The day passed more like a ②fast-forwarded video than
something that I actually fully experienced. 1
This was my first week living the digital nomad lifestyle.I had left my corporate role and
found freelance(自由职业的) writing work online to afford me the freedom to travel. 2 With
enthusiasm，I expected my attitude would also change.Instead，the first surprising realization of
my travel journey had hit: despite changing my formal suits to casuals，I was the exact same
person I had been at home.
I had prepared excitedly，surfing online about digital nomadism. 3 While you might expect
finances to be the biggest killer of this lifestyle，unrealistic expectations are the death blow that I
hear about most often.After six years abroad，realism is now the primary message I share.
4 Instead of an office room，you’ll work from a balcony overlooking the Mediterranean
or a sunny rooftop in the heart of Marrakesh.Instead of waiting at the coffee machine next to
complaining colleagues，your daily coffee run will lead you down dusty cobblestone streets into
tiny cafes.These dreams exist and are waiting for you once you clear customs.
But that’s not all that’s waiting for new digital nomads. 5 At-home life and life on the
road can at times feel shockingly similar，or，if bad work habits take over，even worse.It’s an
important expectation to understand before you set out on your digital nomad lifestyle: your
surroundings will change，but you take you everywhere that you go.No matter how ③ultra-light
you pack.
A．And my surroundings looked different.
B．But this wasn’t at a tiring nine-to-five office job.
C．This was a typical day back in my office I managed to escape.
D．New surroundings may also make you fully engaged in your work.
E．Should you choose to become a digital nomad，your environment will change.
F．You’ll still wake up with emails in your inbox and to-dos begging to be handled.
G．Yet somehow I unknowingly over-consumed expectation and under-consumed realism.

Ways to increase your reading speed
In a world ①overflowing with information，the ability to read quickly and effectively is a
valuable skill.Increasing your reading speed is a journey that combines technique，practice，and a
patient mindset. 1
Active reading.
Active reading involves engaging with the material rather than passively absorbing
words.Techniques such as underlining key phrases，taking brief notes and asking questions about
the content can significantly enhance your reading speed. 2 That ultimately leads to a quicker
reading pace.
Expand your peripheral(周边的) vision.
A substantial portion of reading involves the movement of your eyes across lines of text.By
expanding your peripheral vision，you can take in more words with each glance. 3 This
adjustment can lead to a significant increase in reading speed while maintaining comprehension.
Minimise subvocalisation(默读)．
Subvocalisation，or the habit of pronouncing each word in your head as you read，can be a
major barrier to reading speed. 4 To break the subvocalisation habit，try reading passages where
the content is presented visually，such as in graphs or charts.This exercise encourages your brain
to process information without relying on the inner voice ，gradually reducing the need for
subvocalisation.
5
Like any skill，increasing your reading speed requires consistent practice.Set aside devoted
time each day for focused reading practice.Gradually increase the ②complexity and length of the
material，challenging your brain to read faster while maintaining comprehension.This intentional
and varied practice is key to improving your ③newfound speed-reading skills.
A．Practice regularly.
B．Concentrate on reading.
C．By following the strategies，you’ll be looking through texts in no time.
D．These actions force your brain to stay focused and process information more efficiently.
E．Gradually，your eyes will become better at capturing information in a wider field of vision.
F．Despite a natural part of early reading development，it can ④block progress of reading faster.
G．Practice widening your focus to capture groups of words rather than focusing on one word at a
time.

When it comes to studying，most of us ①bank on being able to focus on our subject like a
shooter on his mission target.It is when we actually sit down to study that our minds begin to slip
away.This is because focus is like a muscle.Unless you build it ，you’ll be distracted by
everything！ 1
•Make a to-do list
Sometimes the simple act of writing down everything that’s on your plate makes it more
manageable.You get it out of your working memory，so it’s
no longer part of the ②free-floating anxiety cloud around you. 2 Once it’s out of your
head，it won’t distract you.

this practice，most find their minds are in fact an incredibly noisy and distracting place.Loads of

mind wanders，you bring your attention back.

this，you’ll discover that deep listening is HARD WORK and requires brain power.
•Read difficult works
