PERSONAL LIFE Konu Anlatımı

Konu anlatımı notları

1. Before reading a new text, we can become reading detectives! We look at the title, headings, and familiar words to activate what we already know.

   Think about these questions before you start reading:

   • What is the title of the text?
   • Which words do I already know?
   • What does this remind me of from my own life?

   Tip: You do not need to know every new word at the beginning. Just focus on the words you already recognise!

   Our pre-existing knowledge helps us connect familiar words to the main topic:

   • Weather & Clothes: Words like sunny, rainy, coat, and boots tell us about what people wear in different seasons.
   • Personal Life & Appearance: Words like tall, curly hair, friendly, and kind describe people's looks and personalities.
   • Hobbies & Abilities: Words like swim, play guitar, can, and could show what people do and like.
   • Comparisons: Words like taller, colder, and faster compare two things or people.

   When we find clues in the title and key words, we can make a prediction (a clever guess) about what the text will be about.

   Example:

   Look at this title: "A Cold Day in the Mountains"

   Key words we spot: snowy, jacket, gloves, hot tea.

   Our Prediction: This text is probably about people spending time in winter weather and wearing warm clothes.

   Making predictions gets our brain ready to understand the text easily when we read!
