Reading as Part of Writing

Reading is an integral part of the whole writing process, and therefore this chapter is concerned with helping you to discover new ways of tackling the reading that you have to do for your studies. Many, if not most, students find reading difficult when they first begin to study at university. This is partly because the material can seem rather unfamiliar, both in terms of the terminology that is used and because of the ways in which ideas and concepts are written.

5.1 Approaching Reading

In general, skim-reading is not a useful strategy for reading as a student, but you may well be used to doing this in other contexts. You may also be used to skim-reading when you’re surfing the Internet. So now, instead of skim-reading you will be developing ways of concentrating on large chunks of quite dense text and making sense of them. It is likely that you will find it necessary to concentrate more intensely than you usually do when you are reading.

5.2 Choosing Your Reading for an assignment

The first thing to do is to consult the reading list for books and articles that seem relevant to your particular assignment. Doing a library search, by keywords or subject, is also useful if the references on your reading list are already on loan from the library. u. At this stage it is important that you pay particular attention to the signposting in the book; this will tell you how the book deals with the subject matter that is relevant to your assignment. Obviously, it is not always easy to get the general idea of a book by skimming through the headings in a chapter, but spending a little bit of extra time working with the index and checking different sections of the book, before you actually start reading, will ensure that you do not waste as much time reading inappropriate material or trying to adapt what you have read to your needs.

5.3 Working with Your Reading

There seem to be two major difficulties that students have when they are reading academic books and materials. One is struggling with the ways in which things are written. The other is the length of time that things can take to read. Many students express surprise at the need to make repeated readings of the same material. . Academics themselves find it necessary to ‘repeat-read’ articles and books. This is in part due to the dense nature of such texts and the fact that so many ideas are packed into the text.

5.4 Thinking about The Different Texts

However, whatever the kinds of text chosen, thinking about the differences that you have identified can help with your reading. If you can see why you find reading a particular article, chapter or book difficult – in other words, what it is about the text and your reading of it that makes it hard – then you are halfway to solving the problem.

From the last meeting of Academic Writing, we learn about how to write with critical writing. The first, we talked about what is critical thinking? Critical Thinking means questioning what you read, hear, and its means evaluating whether true or not your sources of information are reliable. Critical thinkers also need a several point, such as : 1.       Have an open mind 2.       Not think in extremes 3.       Not generate from single or personal examples or base evaluation on assumption 4.       Be interested in the subject 5.       Be active in finding information 6.       Not sit on the fence, from an opinion, or based on the evidence Critical thinkers need to ask a lots of questions, use a variety of sources, and consider different perspectives and think of the different possibilities.

 Name : Nazwa Rega Tanissa Student ID : 2223210086 Class : 4A Summary of Creme and Lea (Page 76-80) What Kind of Writer are you? In writing, there are so many ways and strategies that we come across so that our writing has quality. Many experts share their writing experiences and they have different writing strategies for each person. Therefore, before writing, we must know what strategies are suitable for us so that we can write well. Many people emphasize making a plan before writing, but some experts do not recommend this strategy because writing usually just flows. Even when we are writing, sometimes we lose ideas in the middle of the road so that the next writing will be different from the first plan when we wanted to write.

We learn and talk about many things. First is the introduction about Academic Writing. Academic writing is arguably the most important skill in academic contexts, since writing is the main method of academic communication. It is also the most difficult skill for most students to master. Academic writing is writing which communicates ideas, information and research to the wider academic community. It can be divided into two types: student academic writing, which is used as a form of assessment at university, as well as at schools as preparation for university study; and expert academic writing, which is writing that is intended for publication in an academic journal or book.     Also, we learn about 7 steps to success there are : Analyse, Brainstorm, Res
