You can purchase the course from this website. Just point to the button Books/Tapes/Training up the top here. Or you can go to the home page and check out the information about the course from the home page on.

and can i learn the PR skill with the book(since the book that i bought from book shop is written in Cantonese)as i am a student, i can not afford the cost of the self study package actually.

Yes you can learn from the book alone. It might take a little longer and even that would depend on you. All the information how to use the System is explained in the English version of the book and should therefore be in the Cantonese version.

Secondly, i still do not understand about the activation. How can i super-read the book with 25,000 words per min?
It is impossible to understand about what the book was meaning with this speed.
Can i understand about what the book was talking after activate and how to do that ?

You photoread at 25,000wpm. This is while you look at the book with photofocus flipping the pages. In the beginning if it takes you 3 hours using the photoreading system instead of 9 hours to read a regular book and have the same understanding of what the book is talking about without using the photoreading system. If it normally takes 60 hours for you to understand your textbook... it could still take at 20 hours using the photoreading system for the same level of understanding. Especially in the beginning. Your speed and activation skills improve over time.

With Activation you spend 20 to 30 minutes superreading and dipping as often as necessary to gain understanding of the book. Activaion is to bring the information to your conscious awareness. The information goes into your inner mind during the photoreading stage and it is pulled from the inner mind to your conscious mind by activation. You do 4 or more activation sessions (on your first few 200 page books)to consciously know what the book is talking about.

Thidly, as i am a form 7 student.I must take the most important exam in my life----Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination after a half, it is the exam that consider wheather a student can go to university or not, just like GCE A-Level. This system may help me very very great if i sucess to learn this system. Can i promote from my very bad result to "A" grade in this half year? As i study Chinese, Use of English, Pure Mathematical, Physics and Chemistry.
How the system can be applied to those subjects in order to get a best result at exams?

Would you be able to bring your grades up if you had a whole year without photoreading? Even with the photoreading system you have a lot of work ahead of you. It can certainly help you handle your study better if you can learn and apply the system within a short period of time. Ultimately whether or not you pull your grades up is still up to you. You have reached the point where you may not feel that you can invest any time in learning something else. Prefering instead to keep studying as you have been.

If you have trouble knowing what your textbooks are talking about... you would still have to spend more time studying using the photoreading system than a person who has no problem knowing what the textbooks are talking about.

To learn anything you need to make your own notes... mind mapping is one of way of note taking. With things like Maths you actually have to do practice exercises set out in the book. To help with formulars etc, you find a memory system usually helps you to remember the most important formulars and details. Mind maps are a starting point to help you better remember information from a book.

Forthly, as i read the book, some PR readers can read the dictionary and memorize all the words inside and even the page no. where the word was printed.Would anyone can tell me how to do this?

With the dictionary game, it is guessing, no one really knows all the words inside the dictionary and page number where the word all the time. All we really do is photoread a dictionary, think of a word and guess where it is sometimes we are right sometimes we are wrong. It's just a game
