"Hi, Noel! Were you able to write down the things that our teacher in English asked us to do? I cannot remember some of the ideas that she discussed earlier." “Oh, hi, Thea! Wait, let me check what I have written on my notebook. Ah, here they are." "Do you have any problems with the tasks Mr. Mayo gave us? "Yes, Noel. Can you help me? I find it difficult because I don't really like reading. Every time I try to read something, my head aches and I can't seem to recall everything or comprehend what I have read." "Well, Thea, you can begin by taking down notes or writing an outline of the text that you are reading so you can better understand the text. These are the things that you can do on your own to help you figure out any material that you will read or anything that you will have to write like an essay." Then, Noel explained to her the reading and writing process and he even gave examples of strategies that Thea can use to improve her reading and writing skills.
1. Are you like Thea who encounters problems in reading a given text?
2. How can you benefit from reading?
3. Will you be able to write well when your teacher asks you to write about a topic? If yes how? If no, why not?
