Making Inferences

Listening:
Predict using titles
- The title of a talk or podcast can give you information about what you are going to hear. Once you know the title of the talk, try to guess what the speaker is going to say. This will prepare you to understand it.

should of

I like ... I don't like ...

I (really) enjoy ... I don't enjoy ...
Reading:
Make predictions using charts and graphs
- When you notice charts and graphs in a reading or article, look at them closely. They can help you to predict what the text is about. Read the title of the chart or graph. Read the "key" that explains the measured categories. Compare the numbers for different categories.

Reading:
Read for the author's purpose
- Just as with listening, reading for the author's purpose is a good way to increase your understanding. Try to identify it from the title and introduction of the text. Ask,
What is the author's purpose?
To make readers laugh? To explain how to do something? To present ideas about a topic?
Writing:
Write about pros and cons
- Most things in life have both, good and bad things:
Pros
are the good things about something.
Cons

Use a T-chart to brainstorm the pros and cons of something. This can help you organize your thoughts before you write.
