Skimming practice

Get skimming! Give yourself 60 seconds to skim through the


‘Size matters’ paragraph below. When you are finished,
cover the paragraph up before moving onto the questions.

Size matters Here’s something to think about the next time


you go shopping. Have you ever noticed how many trolleys
are available when you go to the supermarket? In my
experience, it seems like hundreds! But how about the number
of hand baskets? Invariably I struggle to find even one,
especially when I only need a few items. Why might this be
the case? Well it seems to be a tactic used to encourage us
to buy more. If you are walking around with an empty trolley,
you are more tempted to fill it, so if you a planning on only
doing a quick shop, always try to find a basket. It will be lighter,
easier
to use and is sure to save you money!
