18、s Passing of Cinema Giant Text-mapping is a method of note-taking that helps you condense a reading passage into . Text-mapping reinforces concentrated reading. First, you need to survey the reading and make note of its organization and contents. Next, you need to carefully read and choose only the

19、main ideas so that you can condense all the information into a one-or-two-page “map”, depending on the length of the reading. Mapping is an important study strategy to learn and use, forcing good reading and concentration. In this chapter you will learn how to map out various reading texts. To begin

20、 mapping a reading passage or chapter, you should first survey the entire text. Read the title, and then scan for headings and any other markers that divide the reading or chapter into sections. Next, write the topic clearly on the page, and then arrange the headings into sections in a format that i

21、s easy for you to refer to later. Once you have arranged the basic format on the page, carefully read each section and write in only the main details on your map. Reading passages that are written in chronological order, and or organized by headings make text-mapping easy. It is sometimes more diffi

22、cult, however, to organize other patterns of writing, even when headings are used. The following guidelines will help you map out a reading that uses headings and is written in an explanatory or narrative pattern: 1. Begin by surveying the reading. Read the title and look for headings, and or key wo

23、rds from short passages. 2. Map out the reading using a format that you can easily understand. Write the title clearly on the page, arrange the sections around the title, using headings or key words. 3. Read from one section to the next and then stop. 4. Fill in only the main details of that section

24、 and then go onto the following section. Not all of the reading passages you are assigned will be organized by headings. Sometimes you will need to develop your own sense of organization by dividing the reading into sections using key words or ideas that you can refer to easily. Here are some guidel

25、ines to help you map a reading text: 1. Survey the reading text. Read the title and scan the text for any signal words that might give order to the reading. 2. Quickly read through the passage to get a sense of its contents and how it is organized. 3. Draw a rough map. 4. Begin reading carefully, from paragraph to paragraph, filling in the sections you have roughly outlined on your page. 5. Revise your map so that it is easy to follow. 对所阅读材料以图解的形式表达出来，可以将繁杂的信对所阅读材料以图解的形式表达出来，可以将繁杂的信息压缩成简单的图表，帮助我们对材料有个直观，全面的息压缩成简单的图表，帮助我
