March, 2024

2. 1.
Read and understand the main idea of the text. Skimming/scanning
What is the text about?
Who/what is involved?

3. 2
Underline/highlight words you don’t understand.
There are many words you know: he, is, work, etc.
Focus on the words you don’t understand or you haven’t seen before.

4. 3.
Look up the meaning of those words.
You can write them in spanish, but it is a good excercise to do it in
English, too.

5. 4.
Read the text again.
Now, with the meaning of the words clear in your mind, you can have
an idea of what the text is about.

6. 5.
Extract the main idea.
If asked to write a summary, this is advisable.
