Ans.
As I go over with the abstract of the study, I found out that the
introduction of the paper’s topic and the general conclusion shows how the
author is trying to convince the readers that reading is an essential skill and
that it should be given importance. I consider the paper something which can
caught the interest of the reader because it is presented in a manner that
requires a collaborative effort from the teacher and the students.

improve the introduction or thesis statement.

their fellow students to achieve learning goal or review concepts that have been
