Skimming - The art of Reading

Skimming refers to the process of quickly identifying the main ideas within a passage to get an overall impression of its content. Skimming is done at a speed three to four times faster than normal reading. People often skim when they have lots of material to read in in a limited amount of time. You can also skim when you want to see if an article is relevant to your research.

>>Tips for Better Skimming
*when skimming for the information, you glance at or read a document or report quickly, noting only the main points.
*some people read the first and last paragraphs using headings, summaries and other organisers as they move down the page or screen.
*read the headings, sub-headings and illustrations
*when you are seeking for specific information, consider reading the first sentence of each paragraph rather than reading for comprehension
*skimming works well for finding dates as well as names of people and places. It is also useful for reviewing graphs, tables, and charts.
*Take note of any italicised or boldfaced words or phrases.

Below is the example of applying skimming during reading process :

The article above telling us about the steps to surviving infestation during the event of zombie attack. It stated that it comes with 3 ways, which are
1. avoidance
2. termination
3. disposal

THE FIRST STEP>>AVOIDANCE

huarghh!!!!

heheheh....

 in this very first steps, it divided into four ways like:
1.evacuate all the family members and essential small valuables only
2.relocate to your assigned area quickly
3.do not engage with the goddam zombie
4.in the event of bite...you must do like suggested in the article

THE SECOND STEP>>TERMINATION

nani???

hai..sexy!!!

 this step only applied if you are in an unsecured location, and only if you have positively identified a zombie. termination of zombie can be done in various steps like:
1.cerebral neutralization....the most effective ways in terminating a zombie
2.center mass....suitable for stopping or slowing down targeted zombie. NOT an effective termination method.
3.lower extremities can also be applied in stopping or slowing down the zombie.

THE THIRD STEP>>DISPOSAL

twinkle2...little star...hmm....

boring..

 after terminating the zombie(s), mark the perimeter using "TAPE & TAG" style. beware!!!do not incinerate the zombie because it releases airborne toxins which could spread infection.
