The text in the part of Reading texts consists of six sections. The table on the next page contains seven headings that are possible summaries of the content for each section.
1.1 Read the instructions below.
a Read the summary headings and underline the most important word or words in each one. If
necessary, your teacher will explain the meaning of the language used. b Read Section I. of the text and label the appropriate summary heading in the table. c Discuss your answer with other students and/or your teacher.
