Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>

I'm having trouble staying focused while reading for school. Do you have any tips for active reading?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
One strategy is to ask yourself questions before, during, and after reading. This helps you engage with the material and retain more information.<|im_end|>

That sounds helpful. What kind of questions should I ask myself?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Before reading, ask what you already know about the topic and what you want to learn. During reading, ask questions like 'What is the main idea of this chapter?' or 'How does this relate to what I learned earlier?' After reading, ask yourself to summarize the key points and think about how you can apply what you've learned.<|im_end|>

That makes sense. I'll try that.<|im_end|>
