Back to exercises

Step 1 of 3

Read it slowly

Say the whole passage at a pace that lets you hear every word. Notice one part to repeat.

First, open the folder marked Drafts and find the file with today's date. Next, read the opening paragraph and check that it explains who the message is for. Then look at the final sentence: it should say what the reader can do next. Write one comment about the opening and one about the ending. Save the file before you close it. If you cannot find today's draft, ask the editor which version to use rather than changing an older copy.

Keep each action together and leave a pause before the next one.

How to practise

Check your next reading
