  1. Extensive Reading( July, 2006 for students of 2006): • College English Reading Course Book I—Nov. 2002, Shanghai Foreign Language Education Press

  2. Extensive Reading—Units 1&2,Book 1 • Unit 1 • Text 1: Goodbye School(15 minutes) • 1. General Comprehension of the text • How did the author spend his time between leaving school and starting work? • What priority should a businessman have according to the author? • What is the author’s plan after graduation and why? • What is your comment on his decision?

  3. Extensive Reading—Units 1&2,Book 1 • Reading Skills: • Using Word Part clues to guess word meanings (part Ⅰ) • Recognizing Prefixes: in- (inhospitable), un- (uninhabitable), out- (outfit), … • Recognizing Suffixes: -worthy (trustworthy), -ity (responsibility), -less (hopeless),… • Reading for the main idea: recognizing topics

  4. Extensive Reading—Units 1&2,Book 1 • Reading for the Main Idea • Main idea questions test your understanding of the entire passage. They don’t include specific quotations from the passage. Instead, they ask broad questions that focus on the passage’s primary purpose. Unlike themes and arguments questions (question type 5), main idea questions do not concern the author’s opinions on the subject—they just focus on the subject or idea itself. Main idea questions cover things such as: • .

  5. Extensive Reading—Units 1&2,Book 1 • What’s the primary purpose of the passage? • What main idea is the author trying to convey? • Why did the author write it? • The best way to deal with main idea questions is to come up with a one-sentence summary of the passage

  6. Extensive Reading—Units 1&2,Book 1 • Grasping the Main Idea: • A paragraph is a group of sentences related to a particular topic, or central theme. Every paragraph has a key concept or main idea. The main idea is the most important piece of information the author wants you to know about the concept of that paragraph. • When authors write they have an idea in mind that they are trying to get across. This is especially true as authors compose paragraphs. An author organizes each paragraph's main idea and supporting details in support of the topic or central theme, and each paragraph supports the paragraph preceding it.

  7. Extensive Reading—Units 1&2,Book 1 • A writer will state his/her main idea explicitly somewhere in the paragraph. That main idea may be stated at the beginning of the paragraph, in the middle, or at the end. The sentence in which the main idea is stated is the topic sentenceof that paragraph. • The topic sentence announces the general theme ( or portion of the theme) to be dealt with in the paragraph. Although the topic sentence may appear anywhere in the paragraph, it is usually first - and for a very good reason. This sentence provides the focus for the writer while writing and for the reader while reading. When you find the topic sentence, be sure to underline it so that it will stand out not only now, but also later when you review.

  8. Extensive Reading—Units 1&2,Book 1 • Identifying the Topic: • The first thing you must be able to do to get at the main idea of a paragraph is to identify the topic - the subject of the paragraph. Think of the paragraph as a wheel with the topic being the hub - the central core around which the whole wheel (or paragraph) spins. Your strategy for topic identification is simply to ask yourself the question, "What is this about?" Keep asking yourself that question as you read a paragraph, until the answer to your question becomes clear. Sometimes you can spot the topic by looking for a word or two that repeat. Usually you can state the topic in a few words.

  9. Extensive Reading—Units 1&2,Book 1 • Let us try this topic-finding strategy. Reread the first paragraph on this page - the first paragraph under the heading Grasping the Main Idea. Ask yourself the question, "What is this paragraph about?" To answer, say to yourself in your mind, "The author keeps talking about paragraphs and the way they are designed. This must be the topic - paragraph organization." Reread the second paragraph of the same section. Ask yourself "What is this paragraph about?" Did you say to yourself, "This paragraph is about different ways to organize a paragraph"? That is the topic. Next, reread the third paragraph and see if you can find the topic of the paragraph. How? Write the topic in the margin next to this paragraph. Remember, getting the main idea of a paragraph is crucial to reading.
