Scanning for specific information from "summary" of BREAK DOWN! Soal-Soal TOEFL by Eka Rahmat Fauzy,Fauzi Yudiashari,Lidya Cristina
When you are scanning for specific information, you are looking for particular details or facts within a text. This skill is particularly useful when you need to quickly locate key information without reading the entire passage word by word. To effectively scan for specific information, you should first have a clear understanding of what you are looking for. This could be a date, a name, a statistic, a definition, or any other piece of information that is directly stated in the text. Once you have identified the specific information you need, you can start scanning the text. Look for keywords or phrases that are related to the information you are searching for. These keywords are often nouns or noun phrases that are likely to appear in the same context as the information you are seeking. By focusing on these keywords, you can quickly skim through the text and locate the relevant details. It is important to remember that when scanning for specific information, you do not need to read every word of the passage. Instead, you should scan the text quickly and efficiently, moving your eyes across the page in search of the keywords that will lead you to the information you are looking for. By staying focused and avoiding distractions, you can save time and energy while still finding the information you need. In addition, it can be helpful to use certain strategies to enhance your scanning skills. For example, you can try scanning the first and last sentences of paragraphs, as important information is often located in these positions. You can also pay attention to formatting features such as headings, bullet points, and bolded or italicized text, as these can indicate the presence of key information.- You can become more efficient at quickly locating specific information within a text. This can be especially useful in situations such as standardized tests like the TOEFL, where time is limited, and the ability to find information quickly can make a significant difference in your overall performance.
