Difficult words? 

Let's talk about your strategies:

Strategy: Tackling difficult words 

Sometimes you come across difficult words when you’re reading. However, you don’t have to know all the words to be able to understand a text: 

1. You recognise a Dutch word: international - internationaal 
2. You recognise a word from another language: préparer - preparing
3. You can also guess the meaning from the context: the sentence the word is in, or the surrounding sentences: a turtle in Japan caused trouble after taking a little stroll along the tarmac - asfalt.

Let's practice!

Answer the question about text 2 and 3 without reading it!

1. Look at the picture: what do you think the text is about? 
2. What do you think happened? 

Now read the text and underline the words you don't know: 

1. Were you right? 
2. Can you use one of the strategies to find out the meaning of these words?
