Skimming

 Skimming is a very fast method of reading that lets you glance at a

passage to get its main idea or to find a key point
 Skim a passage to get a general idea about the passage
 Skimming makes reading easier because it helps you focus on the
important parts of the text
 When you go back and read the text in detail, you can zero in on the parts
you have to study-you will not spend time lost in detail
 Steps for skimming:
1. Read the title and try to grasp its meaning
2. Read the first or the last sentence of each paragraph
3. Read any headings and subheading
4. Read the summary/ the last paragraph (very often, the last paragraph
consists of the conclusion)
Read the first sentence of each paragraph in the
following text.

OILS
There are three main groups of oils: animal, vegetable and mineral. Great
quantities of animal oil come from whales, those enormous creatures of the sea
which are the largest remaining animals in the world. To protect the whale from
the cold of the Arctic seas, nature has provided it with a thick covering of fat
called blubber. When the whale is killed, the blubber is stripped off and
boiled down, either on board ship or on shore. It produces a great quantity of
oil which can be made into food for human consumption. A few other creatures
yield oil, but none so much as the whale. The livers of the cod and the halibut,
two kinds of fish, yield nourishing oil. Both cod liver oil and halibut liver oil are
given to sick children and other invalids who need certain vitamins. These oils
may be bought at any chemist’s.

Vegetable oil has been known from antiquity. No household can get on without
it, for it is used in cooking. Perfumes may be made from the oils of certain
flowers. Soaps are made from vegetable and animal oils.

The Origin of the Earth

The origin of the earth has puzzled man since ancient times. This problem is
astronomical as well as geological, for the origin of the earth cannot be divorced from
that of the component members of our solar system. The earth is one of nine planets
which revolve about the sun and rotate in the same direction as the sun. The position of
the earth among the planets is not conspicuously prominent…..
NEBULAR HYPOTHESIS. The first theory of the origin of the earth based upon
astronomical observation was proposed by the French astronomer Laplace in 1796. It
was probably suggested by the rings now present about the planet Saturn. According
to this hypothesis our solar system was originally a vast nebula of highly heated gas,
extending beyond the orbit of the outermost planet and rotating in the same direction
as the planets now revolve. As this nebula, which was more than five billion miles in
extent, lost heat, it contracted. Due to contraction the speed of rotation in-creased and
resulted in flattening at the poles and a bulging at the equator…….

What Is Anthropology?
Anthropology is the study of humankind, especially of Homo sapiens, the biological species to which we human beings
belong. It is the study of how our species evolved from more primitive organisms; it is also the study of how our species
developed a mode of communication known as language and a mode of social life known as culture. It is the study of
how culture evolved and diversified. And finally, it is the study of how culture, people, and nature Interact wherever
human beings are found.

Because of Its multidisciplinary, comparative, and diachronic perspective, anthropology holds the key to many
fundamental questions of recurrent and contemporary relevance. It lies peculiarly within the competence of general
anthropology to explicate our species' animal heritage, to define what is distinctively human about human nature, and
to differentiate the natural and the cultural conditions responsible for competition, conflict, and war. General
anthropology is also strategically equipped to probe the significance of racial factors in the evolution of culture and in
the conduct of contemporary human affairs. General anthropology holds the key to an understanding of the origins of
social inequality - of racism, exploitation, poverty, and underdevelopment. Overarching all of general anthropology's
contributions is the search for the causes of social and cultural differences and similarities. What is the nature of the
determinism that operates in human history, and what are the consequences of this determinism for individual freedom
of thought and action? To answer these questions is to begin to understand the extent to which we can increase
humanity's freedom and well-being by conscious intervention in the processes of cultural evolution.

 to find the answers of your questions of your mind, and to locate specific
information
 steps for scanning:

2. Decide where you need to look , to find the information you want
3. Move your eyes as quickly as possible down the page until you find the
information you need
4. When you find what you need, do not read further

 Spoon-fed feel lost at the cutting edge
Before arriving at university students will have been powerfully influenced by their school's approach to learning
particular subjects. Yet this is only rarely taken into account by teachers in higher education, according to new research
carried out at Nottingham University, which could explain why so many students experience problems making the
transition.
Historian Alan Booth says there is a growing feeling on both sides of the Atlantic that the shift from school to university-
style learning could be vastly improved. But little consensus exists about who or what is at fault when the students cannot
cope. "School teachers commonly blame the poor quality of university teaching, citing factors such as large first-year
lectures, the widespread use of inexperienced postgraduate tutors and the general lack of concern for students in an
environment where research is dominant in career progression," Dr Booth said.
Many university tutors on the other hand claim that the school system is failing to prepare students for what will be
expected of them at university. A-level history in particular is seen to be teacher-dominated, creating a passive
dependency culture.
But while both sides are bent on attacking each other, little is heard during such exchanges from the students themselves,
according to Dr Booth, who has devised a questionnaire to test the views of more than 200 first-year history students at
Nottingham over a three-year period. The students were asked about their experience of how history is taught at the
outset of their degree programme. It quickly became clear that teaching methods in school were pretty staid.
About 30 per cent of respondents claimed to have made significant use of primary sources (few felt very confident in
handling them) and this had mostly been in connection with project work. Only 16 percent had used video/audio; 2
percent had experienced field trips and less than 1 percent had engaged in role-play.
Dr Booth found students and teachers were frequently restricted by the assessment style which remains dominated by
exams. These put obstacles in the way of more adventurous teaching and active learning, he said. Of the students in the
survey just 13 per cent felt their A-level course had prepared them very well for work at university. Three-quarters felt it
had prepared them fairly well.
