Answers Students’ own answers EXAM SKILL Skimming Students read the tips. • Remind students that in reading exams, they will need to use different types of reading techniques. Explain that skimming is a technique we use when we read a magazine article to check whether it is something we want to read. When we skim a text, we do not read every word, so we read faster. • Point out key skimming techniques: reading the title, introduction and each paragraph very quickly to get an overall understanding. Remind students to look at any illustrations or photos for clues about the text. • Students will practise this technique in Exercise 2. 2 Give students two minutes to skim the text and answer the questions. Elicit answers.
• Point out that the questions always follow the order of the text. • Remind students that they should try not to leave any questions unanswered.

• Remind students that sometimes a text may overtly state the writer’s purpose, but often they will have to choose an option (A, B, C or D) based on their informed impression. Question 4 in Exercise 3 will allow them to practise this technique. In Cambridge Preliminary exams, at least two of the questions will test the writer’s attitude, opinions and feelings.
