The "skim for gist" method, really helped me?

Hello everyone:
I think that the "skim for gist" really helped me to read more efficiently and even quicker, i think that was the purpose of this week.

This kind of methods are very important for everybody, such as children, young people and college or university students, because everybody can learn 'em, well, it depends of each one's capacities or skills.
This method can really help to summarise a big text, because we only have to take the main idea of each one, it helps us to understand better a text, doesn't matter if it is a big one, because we will read quicker and even efficiently.

For children and young people, this method can help in cases such as: when they have to read a book and they only have very short time, they can use it to read faster or for only take the main ideas, other case can be when they are studying and it is a big topic so they can use it to take only the main ideas, such as the first case.

For college or university students like us, it can helps us to make our thesis, so we can read a large book faster and more efficient.

Well, this activity not only helped me to understand better a text, it also helped me to make a better summary with only the main ideas.

Bye...

MY POLLS

Hello everyone:
In my poll, basically, i wanted to tell about the problems that already exists in our country, which are a sad reality, that we are living.
The results about insecurity were:
a)The society had 66%, because society has more responsability, the government 0% and both 33%, i think the results were right because all the society should contribute to better the country.

b)About the support that the government gives to handicap deportists, the results were, yes 33% and no 66%, what sais that there are not a lot of support to this kind of people.

c)About the death sentence to kidnappers, there was a tight score in the votes, with a 50%, is a very controversial topic, but is very necessarly that the government should do something, but quickly.

d)About the fourth poll, the results were agree 66%, and not agree 33%, i think that there should be more information to young people and then be sure about the consequences that this can make about their irresponsability.

My video

I choosed this video because i really like baby videos because always they represent the innocence, all the babies are sweet and funny, i liked this video very much because the child that appears on it was laughing a lot and then, immediately he made a strange face, the title of that video is serious baby... sometimes, i think it was good that the parents of this child wanted to make this video, because it symbolize that they really love him and that's the most important thing for a human being in the whole world.
The children are very original and they know how to take advantage of all the moments they have in their lifes, they don't have any preoccupations, in fact the adults should make an effort to understand and learn about them, and don't forget about their authenticity.
Like the song said "If the children would rule the world, there won't be wars"

Bye!
