T: We have a lot of things to do in our spare time. Do you want to know about my hobby? You can find it by finishing the saying: ______ are the stepping stones of human progress.
S: Books.
T: Yes. Books are the stepping stones of human progress. I spend much time reading books every day because I think reading brings us everything. Do you like reading books?
S: Yes, of course.
T: I’d like to tell you a piece of good news. Our school will set up a reading club. If you want to join the club, please answer three questions about the reading skills. Let’s do it together.
Step 2 Presentation
1. Understand the meaning of the skimming
(1) T: Now, the first question is “What is skimming?” If you don’t know the answer, it doesn’t matter. I’ll help you.
(2) Show the picture of “skim stones”, and talk about it.
T: Look at the picture. What’s the young man doing?
T: He is playing a game called “skim stones”. People try to throw a little stone onto the surface of the water, and make it float on the surface as far as possible before it sinks. And here “skim” means “漂过” or “略过”.
(3) Make a choice
T: So, what does skimming mean while reading? Of the two idioms, which is more similar to “skimming”, “字斟句酌” or “浮光掠影”?
T: I agree with you. “浮光掠影” is closer to skimming. What does “浮光掠影” mean in Chinese?
T: So, when skimming, do we read fast or slowly? Do we expect to get the main idea or specific information?
S: …
T: Skimming means reading the text quickly to get the main idea. You can understand the word in this way: “s” stands for the speed of the reading; “m” means the main idea. I hope it will help you understand “skim” better.
2. Learn how to skim when reading
T: Since you have understood the meaning of “skimming”, let’s come to the second question: How to skim when reading? That is to say, how can we read fast and get the main idea at the same time?
(1) Show the reading process of four people. Ask students to tell if they are skimming.
(2) Discussion: In Which part of the text can we find the main idea quickly?
(3) Draw the conclusion: When skimming, read the title, the main headings, the first and last paragraphs, and the first sentence of each paragraph.
3. Find the main idea of the article by skimming
T: You’ve done a good job. The last task is to find the main idea of an article by skimming in one minute. I’ll give you three questions to help you:
(1) What is the article about?
(2) Is it true that some aspects of your personality are formed by nature?
(3) What can change your personality?
T: As you have answered three questions correctly, you have the chance to be the member the reading club.
