Scanning |
| Very
Often we need to read fast. The reasons could be some
knowledge or information in our
reading we have already known so we skip it. Besides, we
need urgently the information for our work; therefore,
we read fast to select the information related to our
work but leave out the unimportant one. We scan to find
specific information from the text we are reading such
as a newspaper article or a label instruction. Scanning
helps us quickly find important information we are
seeking without having to read every word. How do we
scan? We move our eyes quickly back and forth across the
text, looking for just one or a few words that gives us
the information we want. When you are reading the
following paragraph about Christmas: |

Miramar Entertainment Park, the newest shopping and
recreational complex in Taipei, extended service hours
to 2 a.m. It offered special Christmas Eve dinner for 48
couples served right on its giant Ferris wheel.
Reservations were made long ago in spite of a high price
tag of NT$5000 per set. The company kept one set for
auction on the internet. A 35-year old Taiwan
businessman working in mainland China won the tickets by
outbidding others with NT$8200 to enjoy the dinner in
the sky with his girlfriend. (China Post: 12/2004) |
