After, asked us to write summary of each paragraph and wrote it on the board

We worked in group.

I used the skimming skill.

Skimming Tips

1.Read the table of contents or chapter overview to learn the main divisions of ideas.

2.Glance through the main headings in each chapter just to see a word or two.
   Read the headings of charts and tables.

3.Read the entire introductory paragraph and then the first and last sentence only
   of each following paragraph. For each paragraph, read only the first few words
   of each sentence or to locate the main idea.

4.Stop and quickly read the sentences containing keywords indicated in boldface
   or italics.

5.When you think you have found something significant, stop to read the entire
   sentence to make sure. Then go on the same way. Resist the temptation to stop
   to read details you don't need.

6.Read chapter summaries when provided.

accuracy (n.) /ˈæk.jə.rə.si/ = the fact of being exact or correct
