Study the reading skills and work on the task below .

 Skimming and scanning are two different ways to help you read an article effectively .

If you skim a text , you can know how the information is organized and gain a general understanding of the main ideas .

If you scan a text , you read fast to try to locate specific pieces of information , such as a name , a date, a definition, or a number .

When you skim :

- read the title , subtitle and section headings ;

- read the introduction and conclusion ;

- read the first / last sentence of several paragraphs .

When you scan :

- read fast and DO NOT read every word ;

- locate the information based on what you have learnt from surveying and skimming ;

- stop when you spot the targeted information .

Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once.
