	According to Beale (2007), this technique is used when readers search for key words or ideas. In most cases, readers know what they are looking for, since they are usually concentrating on finding a particular answer.
· We can infer the previous information relates to ONE of the following Reading Strategies. Which one?
		
	
	Prediction
	 
	Scanning
	
	Intensive reading
	
	Skimming
	
	Extensive reading
	Respondido em 04/11/2020 20:27:59
	
	Explicação:
Scanning is a technique you often use when looking up a word in the telephone book or dictionary. You search for key words or ideas. In most cases, you know what you're looking for, so you're concentrating on finding a particular answer. Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down the page seeking specific words and phrases. Scanning is also used when you first find a resource to determine whether it will answer your questions. Once you've scanned the document, you might go back and skim it. When scanning, look for the author's use of organizers such as numbers, letters, steps, or the words, first, second, or next. Look for words that are bold faced, italics, or in a different font size, style, or color. Sometimes the author will put key ideas in the margin. Reading off a computer screen has become a growing concern. Research shows that people have more difficulty reading off a computer screen than off paper. Although they can read and comprehend at the same rate as paper, skimming on the computer is much slower than on paper.

	"The U.S. Fund for UNICEF fights for the survival and development of the world's most vulnerable children and protects their basic human rights".
 
· The previous text is a good example of a(n):

	mission statement
	Respondido em 04/11/2020 20:44:54
	
	Explicação:
The best MISSION STATEMENTS are a succinct encapsulation of:
· What your organization is;
· What it aspires to do;
· What it actually does;
· What it hopes to achieve.
It may also define your key activities and the values that inspire and govern what you do. Some mission statements are produced in isolation by one person and are then agreed by everyone else. The best ones however are a synthesis of ideas from many sources, even if the final statement will be drafted by one person. This gives an idea of real ownership across the organization; in contrast to the mission statements imposed from above that you find in many companies.
