Today's goals 

At the end of this class, you will be able to understand and apply strategies for reading. 

At the end of this class, you will have practiced for the grammar/vocab part of the test. 

Let's check your knowledge!

Reading - strategies

- Unknown words? Don't look them up immediately. Do you need the word to answer the question? -> look it up. Sometimes the context will give you the definition. Think about suffixes/prefixes and use your knowledge of other languages, divide the word into bits. 

- Read the title, the source, pictures, the author etc. First sentence of every paragraph and last sentence give the an idea of the content/most important message . Read the questions an look at the specific paragraph. 

Reading strategies 

- crossing out the answers step by step can help you. 

- specific info? -> scanning, 

general idea? -> skimming

- detailed reading? -> questions about what the author says/concludes. 

- sometimes questions about emotions/tone (irony, sarcasm etc.) For example: words like incredibly, exceptionel, ludicrous, fantastic, unfortunately, awesome etc. 

- linking words -> conclusions, contrasting, reasons etc.
