My first lesson today was a comprehension exercise about a news article.

When you do a comprehension exercise, start by reading all the questions quickly and highlighting the key words. This helps you know what to look for. It also helps summarizes exactly the word that should appear in the passage. Most of the time, the keyword in your question could relate to a word in the passage!

Then, read the article carefully and keep those key words in mind while you read.

For factual questions, look for the facts in the passage, then check back with the question to make sure your answer matches the information given. Even for factual questions, you should not just dump the whole paragraph you saw from the passage either. Find the exact thing the question is looking for.

For inference questions, write your own opinion or idea based on what you’ve understood. Don’t copy from the passage, think about the main idea or message instead.

For vocabulary questions, focus on how the word is used in the passage. The meaning in context might be a bit different from the one in the dictionary.

Learning English is more than just finishing exercises or passing exam! It is a doorway to the world. Through English, we can explore new ideas, understand different cultures, and connect with people from every corner of the globe.

One of the best ways to see the world through English is by reading newspapers and articles. Every story we read opens our minds to new perspectives and helps us become more informed, thoughtful, and confident global citizens.

That’s why in my opinion, I don’t really think that learning to infer a passage is just a normal English skill, I feel like it’s kind of a life skill!!!!

the end bye bye.
