1c Reading skills

People read in different ways for different proposes for example, you may flick quickly through a magazine or you may concentrate on every word of the section in an operations manual Whatever the text, your reason for reading affects the way you read Read this information and answer the questions after each section.

Preparing to read is a skill that people do

automatically in every language That layout of

the text alone can give you clues about the content For example, without reading an entire fax, you can find out what the topic is by looking at the name of the sender, the subject, the first sentence of the each paragraph and the first and last sentences This will also help you to identify the most relevant sections.

 All titles headings; subject heading in telexes an e-mail; the fist paragraph of magazines articles; the contents page of manual

What features of the texts in Exercise 1a can you look at to identify the topic before reading?

1

Scan reading is important skill that enables you to

search a lot of information quickly for a particular

fact For example, to find a telephone number in a phone

directory, you do not start reading the directory at the

beginning Instead, you turn to the approximate section and scan read the list quickly to find the name and

number you are looking for In this way you leave out all irrelevant information.

 You could scan read all of these texts but the

most common ones would be manual, dictionaries

and magazines.

Which of the texts in Exercise 1a could you scan

read in older to find a particular piece of

information?

2

Skim reading is a technique for reading texts quickly

to get general idea of the content Doing this will

help you decide if part or all of the texts is relevant to you It is not necessary to read and understand every

word Focus only the gist (the general meaning) by

picking out the some key words and phrases For

example, it would take a long time to read every item

in a newspaper very carefully Skim read the

newspaper quickly first to find articles that you want to read more carefully.

 You could skim read all of these texts but it is not likely that you could skim read a dictionary.

3 Which of the texts in Exercise 1a could you skim

read for gist?

Intensive reading is important for understanding the detail of the text This may mean reading the text more slowly several time, possibly looking up key words you do not understand For example, you

might need to read just one section of a manual very carefully in order to check the precise operating

instruction.

 You could read all of these texts intensively

depending on your purpose of reading.

4 Which of the text in Exercise 1a could you read intensively for detail?

Reading effectively means being able to combine reading skills For example, if you need to look

up a technical manual to solve a problem, you

might scan read the contents page to find the appropriate section, skim read the relevant

chapter in order to find the information you need

then read it again in greater detail Many

people are not aware that they do this automatically in their fist language Next time you need some thing, try to assess which skills you are using.

Skim read the email it is Captain Xiao’s reply to the messages giving the Chef Engineer’s solution

to the problem of scheduling the davit check

Does the solution match your own ideas?

DATE: 1500 Wednesday 3 June

FROM: solstraII@mar.com

TO: lopezshipmanergers@wharf.com

SUBJECT: Lifeboat davit pivot point inspection

I have received your e-mail regarding the problem of rust on the

lifeboat davit pivot points I have been informed that there was no apparent problem with the davit during a routine drill last week

although I acknowledge the need for an immediate and thorough check, given the age of this vessel

The situation concerns me as we are due to have a safety audit in the next three days I am aware that any defect in this area could

lead to a detention order but I assure you that we have the matter in hand

Unfortunately, we are unable to schedule the check within the stipulated time period for the following reasons:

- we are preparing to enter port with a turn-around time of 48 hours All hands are required for berthing and cargo operations during this period

- we can not second any crew member to carry out the check as four men are leaving the vessel and two are ill, leaving us short-staffed as it is.

The Chief Engineer is looking into the problem and he proposes that we

postpone the safety audit for one week This will give us sufficient time to conduct a proper check of the pivot point and obtain replacements from you,

if necessary We should be able to arrange the check as soon as we are at sea again before the regular lifeboat drill.

I trust that this is acceptable to you

Best regards

Captain Xiao.
