25
Teaching Objectives
  • Help students
  • learn the reading skill of reading for the key
    ideas in sentences
  • recognize and master words and expressions of
    high communicative value
  • learn about technical words.

26
Reading Skills
  • Reading for the Key Ideas in Sentences
  • Although a sentence may give a great deal of
    information, it usually offers one key idea.
    Readers must be able to find key ideas in order
    to understand sentence meanings clearly.

27
Reading Skills
  • Reading for the Key Ideas in Sentences
  • Here is how to find key ideas in sentences
  • 1. Ask who or what the sentence is about.
  • 2. Ask what the person or object is doing or
    what is happening to the person or object.

28
Reading Skills
  • Reading for the Key Ideas in Sentences
  • 3. Learn to separate minor details from the
    main idea. Many words in sentences describe
    things about the subject of the sentence and
    merely add details around it. If you ask when,
    what kind, where or why, you will find details.
    As a result, it is easier to see the key idea.

29
Reading Skills
  • Reading for the Key Ideas in Sentences
  • Example On one occasion a fight broke out at a
    beach party, with everyone punching and shoving.
    (Para. 9)
  • Key idea A fight broke out.
  • Explanation You see that the key idea of this
    sentence is "a fight broke out", as this tells
    us about what and what is happening. All the
    other information is about where, when and in
    what way the fight broke out.
