Read and Understand. 1 — 2 — 3 — 4 Betty Kirkpatrick & Rebecca Mok
Read and Understand is a series
of four workbooks written for secondary or intermediate students who want to
improve their reading comprehension skills. The 15 reading texts in each of the
two lower-level books deal with social and contemporary issues of
interest to teenagers. Each of the two upper-level books contains 20
reading passages covering a range of highly interesting topics written in
different text types.
Every unit begins with three or
four Pre-Reading Questions to encourage students to think about issues related
to the topic. The questions are designed for students lo work in pairs or small
groups to develop their ability to make predictions and to understand
information by drawing on their own knowledge and experience.
The Vocabulary Study section
makes it convenient for students to look up the meanings of words and phrases
highlighted in the reading passage.
The varied exercises in each
workbook provide not only written work for students to do individually, but also
oral discussions to be done among themselves. Workbooks 1 and 2 cover the
following types of exercises:
• Vocabulary Building — an essential tool to reading.
• Read and Understand provides comprehension questions in True/False and MCQ
formats, as well as open-ended questions to test students’ understanding of the
passage.
• Pair Work allows students to discuss the questions with each other orally
before writing down the answers.
• Spot the Error provides questions for students to revise their knowledge of
grammar through sentence correction.
• Your View has questions that stimulate students to think and express their
opinion on matters related to the topic of the unit.
Students will hear all the reading passages on an audio CD that accompanies each
workbook.
Как вы уже прочитали выше, каждая книжка содержит
15-20 тематических текстов, которые надо прочитать и ответить на вопросы,
позволяющие выяснить степень вашего понимания прочитанного. Это довольно
стандартная процедура, входящая во всевозможные экзамены по английскому языку. В
конце каждого пособия есть ключи с правильными ответами. К каждому пособию
прилагается аудиозапись текстов. Вы можете или просто прочитать текст, или
читать, параллельно слушая правильное чтение, или просто прослушать и попытаться
выполнить задания. Прилагаются аудиофайлы в двух форматах. Большой размер файла
— формат wma, проигрываются, например, в стандартном
Windows Media проигрывателе. Преимущество: каждый
текст — отдельный файл. Или в формате mp3, одним
большим файлом, все тексты подряд. Можете выбрать то, что вам больше подходит.
