Comprehension means understanding.

The best way to
understand a text is to
ask yourself questions
as you read it.
The answers to some
questions are easy to find,
while the answers to others
are more difficult to work out.

Read the text and create a picture

in your mind of the events in the order in
which they happened.
We were relieved when we finally arrived at our
destination late in the afternoon. It had been a

and along the way had taken a bumpy detour
because of damage to the highway. To top it all,
Maya had started to complain that she was
feeling sick shortly after we left home.
