Reading Skills Lesson 3

• Engels
• MBO
• Studiejaar 2

Wat hebben we vorige week gedaan?

Leesstrategiën:

* skimmen: Lezen om ongeveer te weten waar de tekst over gaat. Lees de 1e en laatste zin van de alinea's.

* scannen: Je bent op zoek naar specifieke informatie. Lees niet de volledige tekst. 

* intensief lezen: Lees de gehele tekst zorgvuldig door. 

Hoe geef je antwoord op vragen?

• Open vragen 
• meerkeuze vragen 
• Moeilijke woorden 

Open vraag

Lees de vraag goed door

-> Wat word er van mij gevraagd?

Zorg dat je volledig antwoord geeft

Wees kort en bondig

Voorbeeld:

According to the text how many legos have been made so far?

Moeilijke woorden

Raad de betekenis door de hele zin te lezen. Context is heel erg belangrijk!

Lijkt het woord op een ander woord dat je al kent? Denk ook aan andere talen

Nederlands, Engels, Frans, Spaans, etc.

Zoek het woord op in het woordenboek. 

Houd er rekening mee dat dit meer tijd kost

Meerkeuze vraag

Lees de vraag goed door

Het antwoord staat meestal in de volgorde van de tekst

Scan in de tekst naar de specifieke informatie wat in de vraag staat

Voorbeeld:

How many colours of lego pieces are there?

An epoxy to the world and the vision we've lost

I'm an apostrophe

I'm just a symbol to remind you that there's more to see

I'm just a product of the system of catastrophe

At least I'll go down to the grave and die happily

I do what it takes

I'm just a product of the system of catastrophe

And yet a masterpiece, and yet I'm half-diseased

And when I am deceased

At least I'll go down to the grave and die happily

And leave the body and my soul to be a part of thee

I do what it takes
