Before reading:

- prepare for a text: exploring

- look at the title, picture and possible info at the bottom

- what do you already know about the text's topic?

- what type of text is it?

- read the questions, and possible instructions

- try to figure out what the text will be about.

--> We call this  SKIMMING (reading globally)

Why is it important to know which type of text you are reading?

Text purposes:

- to inform

- to entertain

- to convince

- to activate

- to instruct

While reading:

- Look for specific information in the text

- Look for distinct words such as numbers, capital letters

- Find proof in the text for the answer to the question

- Pay attention to key words: because, however, but, and, still, moreover, therefore, .............

- What is the text structure?

--> We call this SCANNING (reading intently)

A text usually consists of different paragraphs. How do they usually make up a text's structure?

Question: why do you have to pay attention to key words?

After reading:

- check whether you have found proof in the text for every answer

- think about how you can link this text to your daily life

- how did it go? do you need to bring a dictionary next time?

Let's practice!
