1. Fast Looking: What Is the Topic?

   When we see a menu, a poster, or a storybook about food, we do not need to read every single word first.

   We can look at the pictures and the big titles very quickly. This is called skimming.

   • Big pictures of soup, salad, and pasta: They tell us this is about food and meals.
   • A sign that says 'City Cafe': It tells us that people are eating outside in the city.
   • A picture of a waiter: It shows someone ordering food.

   By looking quickly at the pictures, we can easily guess the main topic!

   Food in the City

   In the city, there are many places to eat with our family and friends. We can see different food items on signs and menus.

   Useful Words:

   • Breakfast: eggs, cheese, bread, milk
   • Lunch & Dinner: soup, chicken, salad, pasta
   • Drinks: water, orange juice, tea

   Ordering Food:

   When we want to order food politely, we say:

   'Can I have soup, please?'
   'I would like pasta, please.'

   Quick Searching: Finding Details

   When we want to find a single piece of information, like a price or a specific meal, we look through the text very quickly without reading everything. This is called scanning.

   Example Menu:

   • Tomato Soup: 40 TL
   • Grilled Chicken: 95 TL
   • Fruit Salad: 35 TL
   • Apple Juice: 20 TL

   If you want to know the price of Fruit Salad, let your eyes move directly to the words starting with F. You find Fruit Salad and see 35 TL right away!

   Reading Signs and Menus

   Look at this short notice from a restaurant:

   Green Park Restaurant - Lunch Special

   Time: 12:00 - 14:00
   Today's Meal: Rice and Vegetables
   Drink: Fresh Lemonade

   What did we learn?

   • Main Topic: Lunch special at a city restaurant (we know this from the title).
   • The Meal: Rice and vegetables.
   • The Drink: Fresh lemonade.

   Remember: First look at the title and pictures to find the topic, then look for specific words to find details!
