Reading question?

When you comprehend english sentence, How do you comprehend it?

The Library of Congress cooperates with a nationwide network of libraries to provide free library service for visually or physically handicapped individuals who cannot use printed materials. Through this program, books and magazines in recorded and braille forms are made available to eligible residents of the United States, its territories and possessions, and to eligible U.S. citizens living abroad. In addition to the bimonthly publications TALKING BOOK TOPICS and BRAILLE BOOK REVIEW, which are mailed free of charge to registered readers, to organizations serving the visually or physically handicapped, and to interested individuals, various catalogs and bibliographies inform readers of the range of titles and services available to them from their regional libraries.

I want to know the efficient way to comprehend english


Those sentences are relatively long and contain multiple clauses, each a concept of its own. The way to comprehend this kind of material is to take it one clause (subject-verb-[object]) at a time.

A trick that works is to read it out loud, slowly, as if you were reading to an avid listener eager to understand it. (You are, and it's you.)
