    READING SKILL: IDENTIFYING MAIN IDEAS
    AND SUPPORTING DETAILS.
    Let’s practice skimming using the
    questions below.

    Choose a heading that best matches the upcoming


    paragraph. Remember to underline your key words.

    • Parents are to blame for the state of children today.


    • A report with many conclusions and worries about the
    United Kingdom.
    • Growing up unhappy generation
    • There are so many social problems young people face
    today.
    Let’s skim the first and last sentences from the passage.

    In recent years, evidence has been collected which suggests that the
    proportion of British children and teenagers who are unhappy is higher
    than in many other developed countries around the world. For example, a
    recently published report set out to measure ‘ well-being’ among young
    people in nineteen European countries, found that the United Kingdom
    came bottom. The report was based on statistics and surveys in which
    young people answered questions on a wide range of subject. The United
    Kingdom is a relatively unequal country with a relatively high proportion
    of young people living in households. With less than half the national
    average income. This seems to have a negative effect on how they feel
    about themselves.

    So what’s our answer?


     Choose the heading that best matches the previous paragraph.
    a. Parents are to blame for the state of children today
    b. A report with many conclusions and worries about the United Kingdom
    c. Growing up unhappy generation
    d. There are so many social problems young people face today
    Highlight all of the key words in the paragraph:
    There are now over 700 million motor vehicles in the world - and the number is
    rising by more than 40 million each year. The average distance driven by car users is
    growing too - from 8 km a day per person in western Europe in 1965 to 25 km a
    day in 1995. This dependence on motor vehicles has given rise to major problems,
    including environmental pollution, depletion of oil resources, traffic congestion and
    safety.

    Here are the suggestions:
