Compréhension écrite en anglais – Méthode + Exercices corrigés

Lire l’anglais couramment est une compétence essentielle. Que ce soit pour :

Comprendre un e-mail professionnel
Lire un article sur Internet
Répondre à un examen
Ou simplement suivre une série avec les sous-titres

👉 La compréhension écrite vous ouvre les portes du vocabulaire, de la grammaire et de la culture anglophone.

Comment progresser efficacement ? En s’entraînant avec des textes simples, des questions ciblées et des corrections détaillées.

🧠 Méthode pour améliorer sa compréhension écrite

1. Lire lentement, mais attentivement

Ne cherchez pas à tout comprendre dès la première lecture. Commencez par identifier :

Qui ? (personnages)
Où ? (lieu)
Quoi ? (action principale)

2. Soulignez les mots inconnus

Notez-les dans un carnet ou utilisez une application pour créer une liste de vocabulaire.

3. Reformulez ce que vous avez lu

Essayez de résumer le texte en une ou deux phrases simples, en anglais si possible.

4. Répondez à des questions

C’est en s’entraînant à extraire des informations précises que l’on devient rapide et efficace.
