hi,
I think,
You may use the content/context of the sentences to figure out the meaning of the new words.

Tanvir Patwary (Tanvir)
I mostly love to read fiction books . But the hardest thing I face when I read a book is not to get it /understand the story right way. Sometimes I have to read the story more than once in order to understand it.I found most difficult to find out the meaning of new words.
Sup! Reading ariticles based on new technology and non-fiction are always my favorites. However, if I don’t understand the contexts of the books in English, it gets frustrated and bored.
