local economy and can contribute to the social stability of modern rural
communities. The National Parks are responsible for promoting enjoyment

VIII. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to

indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
If you find yourself learn better by making notes during the lecture, or when
the teacher uses a new word, you want to see it written immediately, then
you are very likely to be a more visual learner. You prefer to see the

8
 SUPERMIND LANGUAGE CENTER

written words. You learn by reading and writing. Visual learners often think
in pictures. If you find a particular task or text difficult, look for sources that
will suit your learning style, e.g. sources with illustrations, charts, tables, or
videos.
If you prefer recording the lecture and listening again to taking notes, or
you memorize something by repeating it aloud instead of writing it out
several times, you are probably a more auditory learner. You prefer to
learn by listening and speaking. Auditory learners often learn best from
lectures, discussions, by reading aloud, and by listening to audio material.
However, it is probably that you like most people, learn through a mixture of
styles. Sometimes you may prefer to learn by reading, at other time by
listening. Ask yourself which is the best style for the particular task you are
doing.
