Scanning

On 10 October,2016 We are going to learn about “Scanning”.

What is the Scanning?

Scanning is a type of speed reading technique which is used when you want to find specific information without necessarily understanding the rest of the text or passage. For example, you might scan the list of names in a telephone directory in order to find a phone number. You might scan job advertisements to find a right job.

Scanning → find key word(s)

How do you scan?

When you scan:

         

      Need to have a question in mind ---- What the specific information you need;

2

.       Decide on a key word or expression that will signal the needed information;

3     

         Do not read every word, you can skip over unimportant words or read only the words that answer your question; and

4

.       Need to read fast.

Scanning is a skill that you use in daily life. The following exercises are example of the texts that you can use to practice your scanning skill.

And teacher gave me do exercise for practice scanning skill and record times to do it. And then time comparison and think about I can take time to do scanning exercise better right? I think that I can do it a better than before and I can find the answer of question it was easy. 

Today I think that it was easy for me is a used scanning skill to help me to fine the answer and I can read faster than before.I think that it was difficult for me was the word unfamiliar sometime I can guess the words or sometimes I used dictionary online.Today this class it was good and happy because I can do it with friend and everyone to help to fine answer and take time in read better  than before.
