在雅思考试中，时间非常紧张，因此，进行一定的阅读技能训练是非常必要的。以下是关于阅读技能训练的介绍。

　　意群阅读(Reading in thought groups)

　　一个好的阅读者在阅读过程中眼睛的移动是从一个意群到另一个意群;而普通阅读者阅读时眼睛从一个单词移动到另一个单词。避免把一个单词读出来，即使在脑子里读出一个单词而不出声也很浪费时间。

　　E.g. (The little boy Johnie ) (had been up) (with a packet of mints) (andsaid) (he wouldn’t go out to play) (until the post had come.)
