Types of reading (SOLO PARA SEXTO)

First, let's remember the types of reading:

Scanning; This is the type of reading for a specific focus. You must know what you are looking for before start reading. Example: This is the technique you use when you're looking up a name in the phone book; you move your eye quickly over the page to find particular words or phrases that are relevant to the task you're doing.

Skimming; This is the type of reading for getting the gist of something. In very little time you can know the content of a large text. Example: This is the technique you use when you're going through a newspaper or magazine: you read quickly to get the main points, and skip over the detail.

Detailed reading; This is the type of reading for extracting information accurately. It is when you read every word, and work to learn from the text. Example: This is the technique you use when you read a science article for your homework.

For Pleasure; This is the type of reading for enterteining yourself, most of the times is when you read without a specific purpose but to have fun. Example: This is the technique you use when you read a novel before going to sleep.

Now please put in your comment two examples for each type of reading. You must describe everyday situations just like I did in the examples I gave you. If they are real situations (things you actually read), it's better. Don't forget to put your name and group.

Good luck!
