📖 What's the difference between Skimming vs Scanning?

These two words are found very often in the Reading Test.

But many people are still confused!

✨ 1️⃣ Skimming = Read Pamper Inclusion

Is "read through to capture the core."

✅ Use episodes to know what the overall content is talking about.

For example, when reading an article and wanting to know what the topic is,

Example:

Read the paragraph quickly to see if it talks about "tourism" or "environment."

Techniques:

• Read only the first and last sentence of the paragraph.

• Look for repeated words or words highlighted in the text.

🔍 2️⃣ Scanning = Read to "find something."

Read specifically - find "answers" or "specific information."

✅ to find out "what date," "which name," or "what number."

Example:

"When did the project start?"

👉 quickly sweep the words "started in..." or "began on..."

Techniques:

• Do not read every word

• Use the "scan" eye to find key words such as names, years, numbers.

When practicing English reading, try the same article, practice both ways -

1️⃣ Skim first to understand the big picture.

2️⃣ Scan later to find a specific answer.

📚 That's a lot faster to read!

If you want to read the IELTS exam more quickly, understand more accurately.
