Now look at the next photo and try to answer the same questions.(Don't skip down to the third photo yet!) Where was it taken? How many people? Men, women or children? What are they doing? Are they happy or sad? Is it winter or summer?
Look at the third one. Don't look at the last one yet! Where was it taken? How many people? Men, women or children? What are they doing? Are they happy or sad? Is it winter or summer?
And here's the last one. What can you tell from the picture now?
As each picture gets clearer, you can get a better understanding of what is happening. Reading is like that too. Each time you read a text, you understand a little more about it. And you don't have to understand every single word to understand what's being written - just like you don't have to see every part of the photo to know what the picture is about.
Don't worry if we finish a unit and you still don't know every word used in the article. If you concentrate on getting the big picture and learning 10-15 new words each week, your reading ability will improve.
