Linguistic factor can be divided into many aspects, three examples will be taken for instance, vocabulary, grammar and reading skills. From the column chart, it can imply that linguistic factor is one of the great obstacles in English reading. 32.5% university students strongly agree that vocabulary affects their English reading, 27.5% university students also agree that vocabulary has great impact on their English reading. 15% of them neither agree nor disagree with the idea that vocabulary is the big difficulty in their English reading. From the former analysis of the statistics, it can be concluded that only minority students disagree with the idea that vocabulary affects their English reading. If an article has many new words, one cannot read it, not to mention understand it. Many students spend much time to memorize new words, but they get little. So, at this time, it is very significant for teachers to help students to get out of the trouble.
From the first day students have learned English, they start to memorizing words, and then learn phrases, afterwards sentences and last passage and article. That is to say, words are the fundamental element in English learning. Linguistic factor, it can
be improved through one’s efforts. So as long as one pays no efforts to do, his English reading ability can be improved a lot. For vocabulary, he can make a decision that he must finish the aims before sleeping, and then, develops a good habit. Word formation is a good way to broaden our vocabulary, take an example for instance, the words are ending of “ant”, the suffix means a person, servant, immigrant, applicant, accountant and so on.
And then, grammar plays a very important role in English, it not only works in English reading, but also does work in English listening, speaking, and writing. So from the column chart, almost all of the students that have been investigated views that grammar has great influence on their English reading. 38.75% students strongly agree with this idea. 31.25% of them agree with this viewpoint. 25% of them have indifferent attitudes towards this. And now, data can be figured out that only 5% students disapprove this.
For grammar, from the basic sentence to learn, understand what is subject, what is predicate, what is object, what is attribute, what is adverbial and what is complement. E.g. I am watching TV. Just like this sentence, to know “I” is subject, “am watching” is predicate, TV is object. Analyze each sentence like this, when one meets difficult sentences, underline the main contents, and he will find it is very easy for us to grasp simple sentences. Because complex sentences are composed of simple one, grasp simple one is the most important thing. Last but not least, reading skills and strategies, 88.75% almost all of them think reading needs skills and strategies, only they master some skills, can they have great improvement in English reading not
only do well in reading but also benefit to other aspects, listening ,speaking , writing, and translating.
With regard to reading skill, it is one of the significant factors in English reading. It is the conscious processing of information. Information can be divided into surface processing and deep or more processing. Surface processing can be used to deal with linguistic form and literal meaning. Surface processing mainly involves skimming and scanning, and more processed mainly concerns that understand authors’ implication, inference, judgment, generalization, deduction, conclusion and appraisal. Therefore, teachers can be organizers and form students- centered class to cultivate their interests and passion.

The civilization of our Chinese is fantastic, just like foreigners, they want to learn Chinese well, they should know Chinese culture fully.

They also ought to know the source of idioms and allusions and in which context is appropriate. Thus they can perform as effectively as possible.
As the saying goes, attitude is everything, do everything must shows the right attitude. Otherwise, one cannot be successful. Accordingly, English reading also needs right and correct attitudes. When do some English reading, keep the aims in mind, it’s not for wasting time.
English reading ability is closely connected with our basic knowledge. Generally speaking, one has good knowledge of foreign language and his reading ability of mother tongue would also very outstanding. Although we cannot say that the opposite is right, it can be said that one is poor at his own language reading and his foreign language reading ability could not be good.
