Comprehension

Our teacher had taught us more about comprehension this few weeks. Comprehensions in secondary school is definitely more difficult than the ones in primary school. There are different types of questions, they are direct question, inferential question, own words question, language use question, vocabulary question and comparative question. I find them all very difficult especially the comparative question and inferential question. I did rather bad in my first comprehension. I only manage to score 12 out of 25. Recently, we did another comprehension. I hope that I would score better than the previous comprehension.

There are some golden rules our teacher taught us when doing comprehension. Always read the question carefully, use the wording of the question to take you to the part of the text where the answer is, do not copy whole blocks of text, hoping that somewhere it contains the correct information and use only the relevant part of the passage. When doing comparative question, we must be specific and the information given must not be vague.
