C. READING
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 1 to 5.
WHAT IS YOUR LEARNING STYLE?
If you find yourself learn better by making notes during the lecture, or when the teacher uses a
new word, you want to see it written immediately, then you are very likely to be a
more visual learner. You prefer to see the written words. You learn by reading and writing.
Visual learners often think in pictures. If you find a particular task or text difficult, look for
sources that will suit your learning style, e.g. sources with illustrations, charts, tables, or
videos.
If you prefer recording the lecture and listening again to taking notes, or you memorize
something by repeating it aloud instead of writing it out several times, you are probably a
more auditory learner. You prefer to learn by listening and speaking. Auditory learners often
learn best from lectures, discussions, by reading aloud, and by listening to audio material.
However, it is probably that you, like most people, learn through a mixture of styles.
Sometimes you may prefer to learn by reading, at other time by listening. Ask yourself which
is the best style for the particular task you are doing.
