Correction
(1) Read the questions FIRST — they tell you what to look for. (2) Skim the text for the main idea (first and last paragraphs are key). (3) Scan for specific information needed by each question. (4) For vocabulary questions: use context clues (words around the unknown word). (5) Answer in full sentences unless instructed otherwise. (6) Always use your own words — do not copy whole sentences from the text. (7) Check your answers refer to the text, not general knowledge.
