Reading Skills (10mins)  using context clues for word meanings When you read a prehension text, you will inevitably find some words you don‘t know. Sometimes you take time out to look up a new word in the dictionary, but doing that too many times slows down your reading. In fact, you can often figure out meanings for new words or expressions without using the dictionary. Look at the context of each word or expression—the sentence that the word or expression is in and the sentences that e before and after. It is usually possible to find hints or clues about its definition form the context. Context clue 1: definition Sometimes a writer knows that a word is unfamiliar or strange to many readers. To make the word easier to understand, the writer may include a definition of the word in a sentence. This context clue is the easiest one to spot. Look at the following examples: a. All other birthdays are called sing il (born day). The sixtyfirst birthday is called huan gup (beginning of new life) b. The harbor is protected by a jetty—a wall built out into the water. c. Jane is indecisive, that is, she can‘t make up her mind. Context clue 2: restatement More often, you may find a restatement, which tells you a almost as much as a definition. Look at these examples: a. He had a wan look. He was so pale and weak that we thought he was ill. b. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a noxious gas which can cause death. c. I am a resolute man. Once I set up a goal, I won‘t give it up easily. Context clue 3: general knowledge More often than not, the meaning of many words can be readily guessed if you use your own experience or general knowledge of the subject. Look at the following examples: a. The door was so low that I hit my head on the lintel. b. Mark got on the motorbike, I sat behind him on the pillion, and we roared off into the night. c. ―We have found that no one in the freshman class can add, multiply, subtract or divide simple sums… therefore, we are setting up a special remedial arithmetic course,…‖ Context clue 4: related information Sometimes you can make an intelligent guess of the meaning of some new words or expressions if you put together related information from the surrounding text. Just look at the following examples: a. ―She went to school for 12 years and she can‘t write a sentence?‖ Timken said, ―They made an illiterate out of my daughter!‖ b. Timken was now angry… once again he flew into a rage. When you e across a new word or expression in a prehension passage, you are well advised to notice how the word or expression is repeated later in the text. Generally the more often it is used, the easier it is to understand. If you read the text carefully enough and notice the way the expression is repeated, you can easily figure out it means. b. Fast Reading (20mins) This reading activity is designed to test students‘ reading prehension accurateness and speed. Students are required to finish short passages and record there reading time and score within 20 minutes. c.
