## Tips

Before you start reading:
Don’t start reading straight away (=meteen).
First look at the title, the image and highlighted words.
These can help you understand what the text is about.
Read the introduction and the questions first.
They will give you a better idea of the text. With multiple-choice questions, look at the options and try to see what the differences are.
While reading:
It will be very very difficult to understand everything you read.
If you see a word you do not know, it is very important to ask yourself if this word is important to understand the text.
If you understand the text without knowing the word, there is no need to use a dictionary.
If the word is important to understand the text (and / or to answer questions) go ahead and use your dictionary! Just make sure you don’t use the dictionary all the time because it costs too much time.
