Text #1:
Find the word
 'enema'. Stand up when you find it.
One hot evening in Padua they carried him up onto the roof and he could look out over the top of the town. There were chimney swifts in the sky. After a while it got dark and the searchlights came out. The others went down and took the bottles with them. He and Luz could hear them below on the balcony. Luz sat on the bed. She was cool and fresh in the hot night.

Luz stayed on night duty for three months. They were glad to let her. When they operated on him she prepared him for the operating table; and they had a joke about friend or enema. He went under the anaesthetic holding tight on to himself so he would not blab about anything during the silly, talky time. After he got on crutches he used to take the temperatures so Luz would not have to get up from the bed. There were only a few patients, and they all knew about it. They all liked Luz. As he walked back along the halls he thought of Luz in his bed.

What is the main topic of this paragraph?
 Stand up when you know.
Most people, however, spend their money before Christmas. "Christmas shopping" is different from ordinary shopping, and people like to do it differently. They go to different shops, or different online stores, more expensive shops very often. They don't just buy food from their supermarket and clothes from big department stores. They look round, they take time (if they can), they browse and they choose.
    City shops do their best to attract them with exciting windows, and special offers.

Reading strategies
We use strategies while reading to make it easier and less time consuming to answer questions about texts.

Skimming and scanning are two reading strategies.

Slide 12 - Slide

Skimming
Bij skimming kijk je naar de titel, kopjes, afbeeldingen en andere opvallende zaken. Je leest het snel door om een algemeen idee van de tekst te krijgen.

Scanning
Bij scanning 'scan' je een tekst op zoek naar specifieke informatie. Je zoekt gericht naar bepaalde woorden die je niet vindt door te skimmen.
