Snel lezen, indruk van belangrijkste punten. Kijk NIET naar de woorden die je niet begrijpt. Lees de EERSTE en de LAATSTE zin van iedere paragraaf.

Dit doe je met skimming

signaalwoorden, dik gedrukt, kopjes, titel, eerste en laatste alinea

how are alligators different than crocodiles?

scanning: je weet waar je naar op zoek bent: woord, naam, datum, plaats

je leest niet, je zoekt

Wat is de levensverwachting van een alligator

TIME is the biggest problem in your test

So use skimming and scanning first and then go for detailed reading!!

Read EVERY word carefully and think about the MEANING of the sentence of paragraph.

What would be your keywords in these questions???

unhappy

conclusions

parents

worries

problems

generation

social

blame

See if you can find the answer and what are the keywords?

which are the keywords do you think???

So what are the keywords?

Choose the best heading

So which is the best heading? A, b, c, or d?

Skimming, looking for numbers

So how many?? (give the number)

How many countries?

About us

You don't want just a gym membership. You want a membership that means something. And that means you need support, expert help and a community.

Best Body Fitness isn't just a gym: it's a full-service fitness membership made for you.

Here's how it works:

STEP ONE: Your assessment

We begin with an assessment session. This is a chance for you to see what we do at Best Body. Our assessment plans are no-cost and no-risk. We'll also make a training plan specifically for you.

STEP TWO: Your training

When you decide to become a Best Body member, we show you what to do, how to do it and why you are doing it. After a few sessions with an expert private trainer you will feel comfortable working out on your own. But don't worry, we'll always be nearby if you have questions.

STEP THREE: Your membership

Membership works on a month-to-month basis. There are no sign-up fees and no cancellation fees. Start and stop whenever you want. And the best part? Our fees are the most competitive in the whole downtown area.

STEP FOUR: Your community

At Best Body Fitness, we see everyone as part of a big team. And when you work with a team, you can do great things. Join any of our specialised classes, led by expert instructors. Come to our nutrition classes. Participate in our regular social events. Everything is included in your fee.

Finally, we wanted to share with you some reasons why our members say that they have chosen us over any other fitness centre in the city.
