2. PRESENTACIÓN

When we learn to read as children in our native language, we rarely think of the value of this skill that will
accompany us for the rest of our lives. From then on, we take it for granted and we use it automatically and
almost unconsciously. To read and understand what you read in English, you must develop certain reading
skills and strategies.

SKIMMING & SCANNING

Skimming and scanning are reading techniques that use rapid eye movement and keywords to move quickly
through text for slightly different purposes. Skimming is reading rapidly in order to get a general overview of
the material. Scanning is reading rapidly in order to find specific facts. While skimming tells you what general
information is within a section, scanning helps you locate a particular fact. Skimming is like snorkeling, and
scanning is more like pearl diving.

Use skimming in previewing (reading before you read), reviewing (reading after you read), determining the
main idea from a long selection you don't wish to read, or when trying to find source material for a research
paper.

Use scanning in research to find particular facts, to study fact-heavy topics, and to answer questions requiring
factual support.

To sum up, skimming is a reading skill that allows us to quickly read through a text to get the gist or main
idea and scanning is to rapidly read a text in order to look for specific information.

 THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE

When Julius Cesar landed in Britain about two thousand years ago, the English language did not exist. A very
small number of people probably used a language called “Englise” about five hundred years after the
Romans’ arrival in the island of Great Britain. A thousand years later, around the sixteen century, seven
million English men and women spoke English. It is now third-most spoken native language worldwide with
over 380 million speakers. Yet, more than 400 million people use English as a second or foreign language!

Over the last few centuries, the rise of English has been extraordinary fast. English speakers, including Scots,
Irish, Welsh, Americans, and others have taken their language and culture to almost every corner of the world
through travel, technology and the media. A recent study concluded that the English language is used as an
official language in over 60 countries, more than any other international language.

Without any doubt English is the language of technology and business. Close to three quarters of the world’s
mail, e-mails and text messages and eighty percent of the information stored in the world´s computers are
written in English.
