Exercise 5
Aplique la técnica de skimming al párrafo siguiente y escoja las opciones correctas de acuer-

Language learning is a process to be developed for a long time. For a Spanish speaker there
are barriers to overcome such as pronunciation, structure, vocabulary, and way of writing. The
16
mind needs to be accustomed to the new language and a lot of practice is needed, as well
as exposure to the new language (listening and speaking). You need to be constant in the
process of learning a language. It is not true that we can learn a language in a matter of days.
Even if you travel to the country where the language is spoken, it takes time to be acquainted
with the new language. There are factors such as age, lack of contact with speakers, and
time, among many others. Authors have defined the learning of a new language as: a process
of continuous approximation to the language. It can be more difficult for some people and
some other people may feel emotionally affected.
a. A language can be learned in a few days.

b. Practice is not necessary to learn a language.
c. Human mind needs new languages.
d. Exposure to the new language is necessary to learn a new language.
e. Age is important in the learning of a language.
f. A foreign language is not difficult to learn.

Aplique la técnica de scanning al párrafo en cuestión y encuentre una palabra bajo la cual se
reúnan los conceptos expresados en cada una de las opciones a, b, c.
a. Pronunciation, structure, and vocabulary are difficult in a foreign language.

c. Time is important when learning a new language.
Exercise 7
Skim the following paragraph and find information about:
a. Machines man does not use daily.

b. Three examples of machines man customarily uses.
c. Machines we can use in cars.
d. Machines man uses to lift objects.
Bicycles, airplanes, jacks, pulleys, and wedges are machines used by man from time to time,
but there are some other machines which man uses more frequently, among them, we can
find shovels, scissors, needles, and wheels. Shovels and scissors are types of levers. They
have fulcrum, effort, and load. Jacks are screws used to fix flat tires and to raise loads.
Needles are wedges used to cut wood but also to lift loads. Among pulleys we can find ropes
and belts; using them we can lift objects or move them. Wheels we find in cars are also used
to lift objects.
