On Monday 10th October, I learned about scanning. Teacher
gave me the handout and she taught me about “what is scanning” and “how to read
by using the scanning.
Before I studies she gave me a meaning of scanning and how
do you scanning?
“Scanning is a type
of speed reading technique which 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.”
When scanning you:
1. Need to have a question in mind-what the specific
information you need;
2. Decide on a key word or expressions that will signal the
needed information;
3. Do not read every word, i.e. you can skip over
unimportant words or read only the words that answer your questions; and
4. Need to read fast.
Scanning is a skill that you use in the daily life. The following
exercises are example of texts that you can use to practice your scanning
skill.
After that, I did
the exercise 1 -9 in the handout.
Exercise 1: I had to
read and work quickly about reader’s digest.
Exercise 2: That was
about the index.
Exercise 3: It was about
the telephone listings.
Exercise 4: That was
about the house advertisements.
Exercise 5: It was about the job advertisements and wrote
the correct information in the boxes.
Exercise 6: That was about the flight and airfare
schedules.
Exercise 7: That was about the TV programs. It had a lot
of information.
Exercise 8: It was about the news the Light Plane
Crashes, it was a new story.
Exercise 9: that was about the biography of Mel Columcille
Gerard Gibson
I found the
difficult thing that exercise 7 because it had a lot of information about TV programmed.
I found the exercise
4 was very easy because it had the key word each picture.
All of exercise I used the scanning skill to
do the exercise.
