Main objective: To read a short article about Hogmanay and answer three sets of related questions. Set 1: Matching titles to paragraphs (Reading for gist) Set 2: Answering True, False or Not Given (Scanning and Careful Reading) Set 3: Sentence completion (Scanning and Careful Reading) Skills: Reading for gist: This involves reading a text fairly quickly in order to understand the general topic.

You will need to read each paragraph (1-5) for gist so as ‘to understand its general topic. ‘Scanning: When you scan a text, you don’t read every single word carefully This is because you are looking for specific information, so not all the details of the text are important. Instead, you move down through the lines of text quickly, trying to find the information you need. When seanning, it usually helps to Iook for key words or ideas. Careful reading: Sometimes, when you find the information you need by scanning, you may have to read this information slowly and carefully ‘to make sure you get the right answer, You may not have time in the exam to read the entire article very slowly, but you will be able to read the relevant short sections carefully to help choose the right answers, ‘Theme: In Reading Task 1, there are a number of different broad themes the text can be about. These include: = Society and living standards = Personal values and ideals = The world of work = Natural environmental concerns = Public figures past and present - Education = National customs = Village and city life = National ard local produce and products - Early memories = Pollution and recycling In the article we will be looking at, the theme is, ‘National customs. When you practise, read as many different texts as you can related to all ‘the above themes.
