    SKIMMING PRACTICE 1

    Get skimming!
    Give yourself 60 seconds to skim through the ‘Size matters’ paragraph below.
    When you are finished, cover the paragraph up before moving onto the questions.

    Size matters
    Here’s something to think about the next time you go shopping. Have you ever noticedhow many
    trolleys are available when you go to the supermarket? In my experience, it seems like hundreds!
    But how about the number of hand baskets? Invariably I struggle to find even one, especially
    when I only need a few items. Why might this be the case? Well it seems to be a tactic used to
    encourage us to buy more. If you are walking around with an empty trolley, you are more
    tempted to fill it, so if you a planningon only doing a quick shop, always try to find a basket. It
    will be lighter, easier to useand is sure to save you money!
