2. It is reading rapidly in order to get a general overview of the
material.What is it?
A. Skimming
B. Scanning
C. Close-in Reading
D.None of the above
As you go through your formal education, you will be expected to study or do some
research work. For these, you will have to do a lot of reading. To be able to come up with
your assignment on time, you must know how to read. These are the different methods of
reading, each one suited for particular purpose.
SKIMMING
is a type of fast reading. It gives you a quick overview of the material and help
you become familiar with the most important facts.
Skimming and Scanning are reading techniques that use rapid eye movement and
keywords to move quickly through text for slightly different purposes.
Skimming is reading rapidly in order to get a general overview of the material.
Scanning is reading rapidly in order to find specific facts.
How do you read a text? How has your purpose for reading have to do with it?
Practice each of these strategies so that you can use which –ever is
advantageous to the type of material being read.
Skimming refers to the process of reading only main ideas within a passage to
get an overall impression of the content of a reading
selection.
How to Skim:
* Read the title.
* Read the introduction or the first paragraph.
* Read the first sentence of every other paragraph.
* Read any headings and sub-headings.
* Notice any pictures, charts, or graphs.
* Notice any italicized or boldface words or phrases.
* Read the summary or last paragraph.
How to Scan:
* State the specific information you are looking for.
* Try to anticipate how the answer will appear and what clues you might use to
help you locate the answer. For example, if you were looking for a certain date,
you would quickly read the paragraph looking only for numbers.

ACTIVE VOICE
When the subject of a sentence performs the verb’s action, we say that the
sentence is in the active voice. Sentences in the active voice have a strong,
direct, and clear tone. Here are some short and straightforward examples of
active voice.
Passive voice
A sentence is in the passive voice, on the other hand, when the subject is acted
on by the verb. The passive voice is always constructed with a conjugated form
of to be plus the verb’s past participle. Doing this usually generates a
preposition as well. That sounds much more complicated than it is—passive
voice is actually quite easy to detect. For these examples of passive voice, we
will transform the three active sentences above to illustrate the difference.
VOICE– is a form of a verb takes to indicate whether the subject of the verb
performs or receives the action. There are two types of voice: Active voice and
Passive voice.

PROMT: How do we use past tense and past perfect tense in a sentence?
We use Simple Past if we give past events in the order in which they occured.
However, when we look back from a certain time in the past to tell what had
happened before, we use Past Perfect.
Do you just want to tell what happened some time in the past or do you want to
tell what had happened before/up to a certain time in the past?

DIRECT SPEECH
is exactly what a person says. When we want to quote someone's exact words,
we use quotation marks
.
For example:
"The novel is really interesting," said Andrea.
When we want to report what someone said, we do not use quotation marks. We
report what they said, but we don't use their exact words. This is called reported
speech or indirect speech.
For example:
Andrea said the novel was really interesting.
When we use indirect speech, we are reporting what someone else said in a
different time and situation. Logically, we need to change some of the words
from the original statement.
This happens with person, place, time, and possessive words.
For example:
DIRECT SPEECH:"You are a very good employee."
REPORTED SPEECH: He said I was a very good employee.
(We need to change the person word.)
DIRECT SPEECH: "It is sunny here."
REPORTED SPEECH: She said it was sunny there.
(We need to change the place word.)
DIRECT SPEECH: "I went to a concert yesterday."
REPORTED SPEECH: She said she went to a concert the day before.
(We need to change the time word.)
DIRECT SPEECH: "Harvey is our pet dog."
REPORTED SPEECH: She said Harvey is their pet dog.
(We need to change the possessive word.)
REPORTING SPEECH
There are some verbs that we use very often when we report what other people
said.
IMPORTANT NOTES
say
tell
warn
promise
announce
mention
For example:
They said it rained all evening.
She promised she would call me today.
They announced that the President would make a speech.
Greg mentioned that he was sick.
Remember that when we use the reporting verbs tell and warn, we always need
to say who.
For example:
Emily told me she had finished her project.
The lifeguard warned the swimmers there could be sharks.
It is important to remember that the word that in reported speech is almost always
optional.
For example:
They said there was a meeting at four o'clock.
OR
They said that there was a meeting at four o'clock.

When the subject of a sentence performs the verb’s action, we say that the
sentence is in the active voice.
A Feature Story should present the subject at an angle to which people
would be able to relate
A sentence is in the passive voice, on the other hand, when the subject is
acted on by the verb
We use Simple Past if we give past events in the order in which they
occured. However, when we look back from a certain time in the past to
tell what had happened before, we use Past Perfect.

TEST I. Read the story and answer the question below. (Don’t forget to apply
the three strategies in reading. (5pts. each question) and answer the story board
below based on the sto
followed.
Tungkung Langit lost his temper. In his rage, he divested his wife of powers and
drove her away. No one knew where Alunsina went; she merely disappeared.
Several days after Alunsina left, however, Tungkung Langit felt very lonely. He
realized what he had done. Somehow, it was too late even to be sorry about the
whole matter. The whole place, once vibrant with Alunsina’s sweet voice,
suddenly became cold and desolate. In the morning, when he woke up, he would
find himself feel the same loneliness creeping deep in his heart because there was
no one to meet him at the doorstep or soothe the aching muscles of his arm.For
months, Tungkung Langit lived in utter desolation. He could not find Alunsina, try
hard as he would. And so, in his desperation, he decided to do something in order
to forget his sorrows. For months and months he thought. His mind seemed
pointless, his heart, weary and sick. But he must do something about his
loneliness.
One day, while he was sailing across the regions of the clouds, a thought came to
him. He would make a big basin of water below the sky so that he can see the
image of his wife, if she were just somewhere in the regions above. And lo! the sea
appeared. However, Alunsina was never seen. After a long time, the somber sight
of the lonely sea irritated Tungkung Langit. So he came down to the Middle-world
and created the land; then he planted this with grasses, trees and flowers. He took
his wife’s treasured jewels and scattered them in the sky, hoping that when
Alunsina would see them she might be induced to return home. The goddess’
necklace became the stars, her comb the moon and her crown the sun. However,
despite all these Alunsina did not come back.
Up to this time, the old folks in Panay say that Tungkung Langit is alone in his
palace in the skies. Sometimes, he would cry out his pent-up emotions and his
tears would fall down upon the earth. The people sat that rain is Tungkung
Langit’s tears and that is why in some localities in Panay, the first rain in May is
received with much rejoicing and sacrifice. Incidentally, when it thunders hard, the
old folks also say that it is Tungkung Langit sobbing, calling for his beloved
Alunsina to come back – entreating her so hard that his voice thunders across the
fields and countryside.
