Skimming means reading the text quickly to get the main idea.
Skimming is often used when we read:
newspapers (to quickly get the general news of the day)
magazines (to find interesting articles we would like to read in more details)
business and travel guides (to quickly get information)
When skimming, read the title, the main headings, the first and last paragraphs, and the first sentence of each paragraph. This will give you a good idea of what the text is about.
Millie has found this article in a magazine. Skim the article below to find the main idea. Use the following questions to help you.
1. What is the article about
2. Is it true that some aspects of your personality are formed by nature
3. What can change your personality
How is your personality formed
Personality includes your thoughts, feelings and behaviours which make you different from other people. How is your personality formed Most people believe that it is formed by both nature and the environment.
By nature
Some aspects of your personality are passed onto you by your parents, for example, liveliness and impatience. That is why people say “like father, like son”. Sometimes, these personalities do not change and remain the same throughout your life.
By the environment
The environment, including your education, your experiences and the people around you, can change your personality. For example, you may become confident if you successfully complete a difficult task through hard work. That is how your experience influences your personality.
1. What is the article about
2. Is it true that some aspects of your personality are formed by nature
3. What can change your personality
It is about how your personality is formed.
Yes, it is.
Your education, your experience and the people around you.
1. Personality includes your thoughts, feelings and behaviours which make you different from other people.
个性包含使你区别于他人的你的想法、情感和行为。
which make you different from other people为定语从句,修饰前面的名词thoughts, feelings和behaviours。
2. Most people believe that it is formed by both nature and the environment.
大部分人相信它是由本质和环境塑造的。
that 引导的句子是宾语从句。用了一般现在时被动语态。被动语态结构为be + 动词过去分词 + by + 施动者。
e.g. The classroom was cleaned by Li Ming.
教室被李明打扫干净了。
Paris is visited by more than six million travelers each year.
每年都有超过六百万游客到巴黎旅行。
3. That is why people say “like father, like son”.
那就是人们为什么说“虎父无犬子”。
like father, like son 虎父无犬子
why people say “like father, like son”为be动词is的表语从句。在从句中要使用陈述语序。
4. Personality includes your thoughts…
The environment, including your education…
include和including的区别
