What to expect:
Brochures, leaflets, notices, advertisements
How to approach:1. Skim the text. Think of a skimming stone and try to get the gist of the text.
2. Read the question carefully!
3. Ask yourselves what to expect for an answer : a number? a noun? an adjective?
4. Highlight or underline key words which help you look for the right answer.
5. Scan the text just like x-rays scan a suitcase at airports or your scanner scans an old photo. In other words, look for details by reading the text quickly.
6. For Exercise 1, you do not need to read through the text as if you were reading a book. Just skim and scan.
7. Complete sentences are not necessary. Sometiems one or two words are enough. But you must provide all the relevant information.
8. If the answer is a number...watch out! What kind of number is this? Make sure you provide the unit measurement: am/pm for time, gr/kg/tons for quantity, mph / km for speed/ currency symbol for prices (€? $? £?) etc.
