Task I Reading Comprehension—How to Improve Dream Recall
1.Read through the passage and do the exercise. (15')
Inform Ss that almost all the answers to the questions can be found in the passage. One way to find answer is to identify the key words or phrases in the question and then find the corresponding words or phrases in the passage. It is well likely to find the answer before or after the words or phrases or the sentences.
For example:
1)Key words--- the process of recalling dreams
Find the word "process" in the passage, and we know it appears together with "simple natural". To be more careful, the statement is positive, not a negative one. So we choose A) simple and natural.
2)Key phrases--- rereading one's dreams from the previous (or more) nights before one goes to sleep.
The phrases can be found in the first sentence. The following sentence is the very reason why the author suggests people to reread the dreams.
So we choose D), which is located after the question in the passage
3)Find the items from the passage one by one to see if it is what the author means or not.
A), B), and C) all can be found in the passage, but D) is the opposite of the author's meaning, for before "using an alarm clock" there is a negative word "without".
2. Check the answers in the fast reading.(5')
