· Introductory and concluding paragraphs.

· Summary.

· Try to get an overview of what lies ahead.

Question
while you are surveying

· Turn the title, headings, and/or subheadings into questions.

· Read questions at the end of the chapters or after each subheading.

· Ask yourself, "What did my instructor say about this chapter or subject when it was assigned?"

· Ask yourself, "What do I already know about this subject?"

· Example, the heading "Stages of Sleep" might lead you to ask: "Is there more than one stage of sleep?" What are they and how do they differ?" Asking questions helps you read with a purpose.

Note: If it is helpful to you, write out these questions for consideration. This variation is called SQW4R

When you begin to

· Take notes from the text but write the information in your own words.

· Underline/highlight important points you've just read.

· Use the method of recitation which best suits your particular learning style.

· Remember to look for answers as you read and to recite or take notes before moving on.

Mobile Phones: Good or Bad?

Everywhere you go nowadays, you see people using mobile phones. From school children to the people, you see them talking in the supermarket , on trains , in the street , everywhere !

So what are the advantages of mobile phones ? First of all, they are very convenient because you can phone from nearly anywhere. Another advantage is that they are really useful in emergency situations.

For example, if you are alone in your car and it breaks down, you can get help quickly. In addition, you can also use your mobile to text your friends or connect to the net.

However, there are disadvantages such as the cost. Mobile phone calls cost more than normal calls. Furthermore, it can be annoying if you are on a train or a bus and you have to listen to someone else's boring conversation. It happens because people can contact you anywhere, at any time, unless you switch your phone off !

In conclusion, there are both advantages and disadvantages. Personally, i feel mobile phones are a good thing because they give us more freedom and make communication easier.
