Reading, step by step

1. Start by reading the text quickly to find out what the text is about.

2. Read the question and choose a strategy

3. If necessary, read the text entirely and concentrated, and underline or circle important information in the text.

Have a look at the following text

1. Predict what it's about

2. Read the questions.

3. Read text again and underline or circle important information 

Peter enjoys mountain biking because...

1. it gives him the opportunity to enjoy the views
2. he can use the time to plan his work
3. he is able to stop thinking about his problems
4. it helps him to concentrate better

"But more importantly, racing along as fast as you can leaves you no time to worry about anything that's going on in your life."

What does Peter say about cycling during his childhood?

1. He is sorry he did not take more care of his bike
2. His friends always had better quality bikes than he did
3. His bike wasn't suitable for the activities he was doing
4. He was more interested in designing bikes than riding them

Er staat in de tekst dat de fiets niet geschikt was voor de dingen die ze deden:

"The bikes we had then weren't built for that."

Er staat nergens in de tekst dat hij meer interesse had in het ontwerpen van fietsen.

Peter says he returned to cycling after several years...

1. because he had become unfit.
2. so that he could enter races.
3. in order to meet new people.
4. to replace an activity he had given up

... so I took that up instead."

How does Peter feel about cycling now?

1. He is proud that he is still so fast
2. He is keen to do less now that he is older
3. He regrets the fact that he can no longer compete
4. He wishes more people were involved in the sport

"As I go past, I imagine how surprised they would be if they knew how old I am."

Hij is bang voor zijn carrière als hij valt en dit heeft dus niet per se te maken met zijn leeftijd. Dat is nergens terug te lezen.

Tips!

1. Read the question and come up with your own answer.

2. Read the options and eliminate the incorrect answers.

3. Choose the correct one.

4. Check the text to see if you can find proof that backs up your answer.

5. Always answer every question before moving on to the next!

Tips!

Study 'Engelse verbindingswoorden' (linking words) on Google Classroom

Deze woorden geven aan of er een voorbeeld, tegenstelling, conclusie, oorzaak & gevolg, opsomming of vergelijking komt.

Dit helpt je om de tekst beter te begrijpen en vragen beter te beantwoorden.

Heb je nu meer inzicht van wat er van je wordt verwacht tijdens de leestoets?

Nee, ik begrijp er nog steeds niets van. Ik heb meer instructie nodig, help...!

Ja, het gaat al beter. Nu nog oefenen!

Ja, ik kan dit gewoon! Ik ben een pro!

Ik twijfel nog een beetje...zucht..

Je gaat nu zelfstandig aan het werk

1. Je werkt in stilte

2. Je mag alleen overleggen als je iets niet weet maar doe het op fluistertoon.

3. Steek je hand op als je vragen hebt

To do:

1. Finish 'Reading assignment' on Google Classroom

2. Study page 1/3 of 'Engelse verbindingswoorden'
