1.6+Unfamiliar+Texts

 When doing unfamiliar texts keep in mind the following techniques:
 * Read the text once through first.
 * Read the questions
 * Reread the text with the questions in mind.
 * Highlight, underline, whatever parts of the texts that you are going to need to use, or any other parts that are of interest.
 * Follow the instructions carefully. Underline key words from the question if you need to. If it asks for one word, then one word is all you should write.
 * For questions that give you a bit more scope, write full answers and use examples from the text to support your points (sound familiar?).
 * Do not use an answer that you have given earlier again in your answers. Try to find new techniques to use as well as new examples.
 * The easiest things to find in any unfamiliar text are parts of speech. Look for adjectives, adverbs and pronouns as these are really good examples to use if you are asked to find anything that is interesting, unusual, stylistic etc.
