還沒讀內文,先用標題、圖片與第一段猜內容走向,邊讀邊驗證、修正自己的猜測。
何時用:拿到一篇沒讀過的文章、還不知道主題時,先用這一招暖身;會考長文先預測,能大幅降低「讀到一半迷路」的機會。
定錨句:先猜再讀,邊讀邊改——預測不是賭博,是給自己一個閱讀的方向盤。
Last spring, Leo built a small birdhouse and hung it on the tree in his garden. Every morning before school, he stood under the tree and waited. But no bird ever came. "Maybe the house is too high," he thought. "Or maybe birds just don't like red houses."
One Saturday morning in May, Leo heard a soft sound from the garden — cheep, cheep, cheep. He ran outside in his pajamas. A small brown bird was sitting on the roof of the birdhouse, singing to the sky. And inside the house, Leo could hear even softer sounds.
Leo smiled. His birdhouse was not empty anymore. It was a home.
每天清晨五點,天還沒亮,巷口那家小麵包店的燈就亮了。陳伯伯圍上圍裙,把前一晚發好的麵糰送進烤箱。不到六點,第一批麵包出爐,香氣順著巷子一路飄進還在睡夢中的人家。附近的阿婆總說,她不是被鬧鐘叫醒的,是被麵包香叫醒的。陳伯伯做麵包四十年了,他說做麵包和做人一樣,急不得:麵糰要慢慢發,火候要慢慢等,客人也要慢慢來。話雖如此,每天早上七點不到,店門口的隊伍已經排到轉角,因為大家都知道,陳伯伯的麵包一出爐,晚來就買不到了。
策略是跨科的:英文閱讀學到的招,國文閱讀一樣用得上;反過來也一樣。
