In Education, we know as well that reading is always done by students, because from reading we get so many information to develop our knowledge. In the other hand we often do many presentations in the class as our assignments even it in college, senior high school, junior high school or elementary school. Moreover, there are also other assignments that related to reading comprehension, such as make a summary, make a journal, make a book review and many other, but from those assignments, there are some questions for you :
- How do you present many information from what have you read?
- Do you write it in a long written in the slide when you present it in front of the class or maybe in your summary paper?
