Let's do some practice today

NEW HEADWAY : PAGE 18 - BABUR ALI

A new text: 

What to look at:

The pictures

The title

Any words in bold type or italics

What do you think the text might be about?

What does a head teacher do? Where is Babur Ali from? 

           What if this was a test????

 You can't usually use a dictionary, and even if you can, it takes too long to look up many words.

Reading Test Tips:

Don't panic, look at the pictures/title etc - You probably know something about the subject already. 

If you come across words you don't know yet, just try and guess the meaning by looking at the word in front of and after the difficult/unknow word. What do you think the sentence means? 

Maybe you don't know these words!

Village

to be lucky

private school

rupee

bamboo

hut

housework

ambition

poor
