SkateboardingHi! My name is Mike and I’m from SanFrancisco in the USA. I play basketball,baseball, football and ice-hockey, and I’ma skateboarder! You can’t win an Olympicmedal for skateboarding because it isn’t anofficial sport. It isn’t a school sport, but it’svery popular with young people. Here inthe USA, for example, there are abouttwelve million skateboarders and athousand public skateparks.

What are the attractions ofskateboarding? First, it’s an excellentform of exercise. Second, the price of askateboard is only about twenty dollars.Third, you can practise alone or withyour friends in the park or the garden.

Finally, for me, skateboarding is anopportunity to express my identity. Goodskateboarders have dedication, balance,coordination and energy. They also havecreativity and imagination.Skateboarding isn’t just a sport, it’s alsoan art.

Eating in BritainIn Britain, people usually have a quickbreakfast – toast or cereal with tea orcoffee – but they sometimes have thetraditional English breakfast of bacon andeggs at weekends.

At half past ten or eleven they often have‘elevenses’ – a cup of tea or coffee with abiscuit – and then they usually havelunch at half past twelve or one o’clock.Lunch is often just a sandwich. Childrenusually have their lunch at school.

By three o’clock it’s time for another cupof tea. Dinner is usually quite early,between six and seven o’clock in theevening, so before bed people often havea snack, sometimes with a cup of hotchocolate.

A lot of people like fast food (hamburgers,fried chicken, hot dogs and chips), andyou often see people eating in the street.

Background information

Reading StrategiesReading Strategies

Sometimes a text is about a subject that isnew to you. But usually you know somethingabout the subject before you read the text.

Before you read, think about what you knowabout the subject. Think of these questionwords: who, what, where, when and why.For example, in a text about WilliamShakespeare, try to answer these questions:

• Who was Shakespeare? • When did he live?• What did he do? • Why is he famous?• Where did he live?

It is not a problem if you don’t know all theanswers, but the information that you knowwill help you to understand the text.

Stories are sometimes difficult to understand. Ifyou don’t understand a story, concentrate onthe basic information. Ask these questions:

• Who are the people in the story?• What are they doing?• What are they saying?• Where and when are they doing and saying

these things?• Why are they doing and saying these things?

The answers to these questions will give youthe basic information about the story.

Basic information

Dictionaries are your best friend. Your dic-tionary tells you what words mean and howto use them. But it is also important to guesswhat a word means from its context (seeGuessing meaning).

You will usually remember what a word meansif you try to guess it first and then check inyour dictionary.

Dictionary work

Before you read a whole text, look at the firstand the last sentences. These sentences oftensummarise the text. They are often short andsimple too!

For example:First sentence: Roses are very interesting plants.The text is probably about roses.

Last sentence: The internet definitely helpsschool students.The text is probably about how the internethelps school students.

Use the first and last sentences to predict whata whole text is about.

First and last sentences

Before you read, look at the text and write alist of the words that look similar to words inyour language. Usually these words are‘friends’ because they have the same meaningin your language. These words will help youto understand the text.

Imagine these words are in a text:international … Asia … economy … politics …commercial … Europe … diplomatic … relations … Africa … political … nations …President … America …

If you understand half of these words you canguess that this is probably a text about inter-national politics.

But be careful! Sometimes, words look similarbut they do not have the same meaning.These words are ‘false friends’.

Friendly words

Most texts use some words that you don’tunderstand. But you can usually guess themeaning of these words.

For example:Yesterday the girl … in the swimming pool.

Here the word between girl and in isn’t diffi-cult – it’s invisible! But we can guess theword. What did the girl do in the swimmingpool? It isn’t:

Guessing meaning

801356ReadingStrategies.qxd 8/11/06 12:48 Page 76

Page 53: Everything for ESO 1, Richmond Publishing

77

Yesterday the girl studied in the swimming pool.or Yesterday the girl slept in the swimming pool.Those ideas are very improbable. A betterguess is:Yesterday the girl swam in the swimming pool.

Expect a text to say something sensible. Lookat the context, and use the words that youunderstand to help you with the words thatyou don’t understand.

Sometimes a text contains sentences whichlook different from other sentences. Thesesentences are repeated several times (see Keywords), or have ‘inverted commas’, or are inCAPITAL LETTERS or in bold type. These sentences often help you to understand thewhole text.

For example:Susannah went into the dining room, then theliving room, then to the dining room again… Butshe always had the same question in her mind.‘What can I do now? What can I do now?’

The question ‘What can I do now?’ isimportant because it appears twice and is ininverted commas. It tells us about Susannah’sfeelings. Susannah’s feelings are probably thefocus of this text.

Key phrases

Before you read a text, look for key words:words that appear several times in the text. Usethese words to predict what the text is about.

For example:If the words festivals, England and summerappear several times in a short text, the text isprobably about different festivals in England inthe summer.

When you read the text, you can check if yourprediction was correct.

(Of course some words, like the, of and to,are so common that they occur several timesin any text.)

Key words

Semantic areaImagine a short text that contains thesewords: golf, football, tennis, basketball andhockey. The text is probably about sports. If atext of 150 words contains the words taxi,train, bus, bicycle, and airplane, then it is pro-bably about transport.

The presence of four or five words from thesame group (semantic area) is often a goodindication of what a text is about.

Simple phrases

Most texts contain difficult phrases. But ifyou concentrate on the simple phrases first,they will help you to understand what thetext is about.

For example:Imagine a text with these simple phrases:• he plays golf• he is a professional• he comes from France• rich and famous• new champion

These phrases are short and simple, but theygive you a lot of information: the text is abouta successful professional golfer from France.

Use the simple phrases to help you guesswhat the whole text is about.
