Think about which reading skills are being tested. Read the instructions carefully as they may not always be the same. Pick out key words from the questions. Recognising cohesive devices Different text types have different ways of organising information and if students can recognise which text type they are reading, it will help them to read more efficiently to find their way through the text and locate the answers to questions. Another way of finding your way through a text is to practice in looking at ways in which ideas are linked together in a text – that is, the cohesion of a text. Recognising cohesion will develop your intensive reading skills. Look at the following sentence from a text about horses: Horses continued to define military tactics well into the 1900s, until they finally became outmoded by machine guns, tanks, airplanes and other modern weapons. The linking word until is used to add information about when something happened and they is used to refer back to horses in the text. These are called cohesive devices. The ability to recognise cohesive devices is essential in making sense of a text. It is also an important way of finding answers in a text. In order to be an effective reader, it is important to be able to recognise the use of cohesive devices. Download 254.88 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
