Section 1


1) Example sentence using “repertoire”
- Her repertoire of reading strategies includes skimming, scanning, and intensive
reading.


2) Three reading strategies that are commonly mentioned in such passages
- Skimming
- Scanning
- Intensive reading
(If your passage also mentions THIEVES as a strategy, you could note that too, e.g.,
THIEVES is a pre-reading/previewing technique.)


3) Which reading strategy would you use in these examples?
3.1 If you were looking for the year of publication for this text:
- Scanning (to locate specific factual details, such as a date)
3.2 When you read a text that brings good memories:
- Extensive reading or reading for pleasure (often called pleasure reading)


4) Paraphrase this sentence in your own words
Original: “When you skim-read though, you skip over a substantial portion of the text,
so to avoid this becoming an exercise in randomly throwing your eyes across a page
and landing in arbitrary nonsense, we would advise you to use a ‘reasonably
methodical technique’.”
Paraphrase: Skimming can cause you to miss a lot of the content, so to prevent
aimlessly wandering eyes and meaningless results, you should use a fairly
systematic approach.
