What conclusions can you draw about reading? Do you read different things in different ways? How does what you read change the way you read?
1. a TV guide — to find out what is on and when
2. your timetable at school — to check your lessons and times
3. a newspaper — to get the latest news
4. a dictionary — to find the meaning, spelling or pronunciation of a word
5. a history textbook — to learn about historical facts and events
6. a job contract — to understand the terms and conditions of a job
Conclusion: We read different texts for different purposes, and we read them in different ways. For example, we scan a TV guide or a timetable for specific information, but we read a history textbook more carefully to understand the details.
