as different fonts, bold print, underlining, or italics.
The meaning of these style features can differ from
one text to another.

22. Structure of the text
An important aspect of reading is prediction.The introduction
mostly informs you about what you can expect.The body consists
of paragraphs. Each paragraphs deals with one aspect of the
subject matter. Paragraphs are linked in a logical way.The
conclusion sums up and puts the subject matter in the right
perspective.This structure holds good for all texts.

23. Structure of paragraph
A typical paragraph consists of three parts.The first part
contains the topic sentence, which is the heart of the
paragraph.The second part contains sentences, which
give further explanation on that aspect.The last part of a
paragraph is often a summary of the paragraph.

24. Punctuation
It makes it easier to understand the grammatical
structures. Punctuation tells you how the author
wants you to interpret a piece of text.

(reader’s inference)
You can conclude the position of the author from
certain words and phrases used by the author in
the text.

26. Reader anticipation
Readers, including those who have a wide and
flexible vocabulary will come across words whose
meanings are unfamiliar to them.You may have
often come across a not-too-familiar word whose
meaning you were able to guess accurately.This is
possible if you understand the relationships
between words in meaning and form.

27. Summarizing
While summarizing you may make a note of the
most important points in the text as it is difficult to
remember the contents of the text if it is sufficiently
long.The length of the summary largely depends
on the density of the text.
