- In this lesson, you can learn how to read and summarise a text.
Summarising a text is a vital skill for your English reading. If you can’t make a short, clear summary of the main ideas of a text, then you almost certainly haven’t understood it fully.
Understanding what you read in English isn’t just about the words; it’s about understanding the ideas, how they’re organised, and which ideas are more or less important.
Here, you’ll see some strategies you can use to improve your English reading, read faster, and improve your reading comprehension.

In this piece of text, the author explores in depths of abnormal use of the language, Guugu Yimithirr. It is a lingo of indigenous Australians, widely used in northern Queensland. The language itself does not have specific words for “left”, “right”, “backward” or “forwards”. Instead, they communicate using the position of the compass. It is a common course of action for them to situate themselves by giving elusive cues from the compass. However, if they travel further by a large scale, they could potentially hinder their ability to convey their message.
lol abnormal? don't you think that it's a little harsh, unusual is better

Hello
Good morning from Timor leste
Thanks, Mery!
Vary nice class
Good morning . The next words for example
Advertisement and advertising both are names
What is the difference between the ended names with ing or with ment or ion or ness and which of them is a base when deriving words . thanks
Hi Morhaf, 'advertisement' is the specific, countable noun. 'Advertising' is the general idea, or abstract noun. An advertisement is a piece of advertising. Hope this helps you!
Thanks
This is very informative, sir, can you explain what makes a sentanse general and specific, please
Very good

Dear OOE team- is writing a summary the same as writing a literature review? Thanks
Hi Nelly. A literature review is more specific than a summary. A literature review is a piece of writing that summarizes different types of academic/scholarly articles, books, and other resources into one review of that particular topic. Hope this helps you!
Thank 😍
Good job
Thanks, Sergi!
My result is... You have reached 8 of 20 point(s), (40%)
Thank you for test!

Good video

Hi, Oli teacher & Kasia teacher! It is magnificent! We - Azerbaijan Turkish favorite your lessons and we enjoy from these. Sorry, which of English listening programs is better? We exam from English listening in Azerbaijan.
We're so glad you enjoy the lessons! Are you asking about programs such as podcasts or programs such as English lessons?
@@Oxfordonlineenglish1 , yes, to work " English listening" tests is difficult. We - The Turks of Azerbaijan have difficulty with these tests. How do you think we can develop this?
@@Oxfordonlineenglish1 , I wish I could be a student of a great teacher like you at Oxford University...
Excellent
See you next time!😊

Great! Teachers I have a question. Which one is correct?
Adverbs of frequency or Frequency adverbs?
Family member or The members of the family?
Hi Adonay, the common phrases are: 'adverbs of frequency,' and, 'family members,' but you can also say, 'members of the family,'.
@@Oxfordonlineenglish1 Thank you so much! But I wonder why????
I am confused now.
@@Oxfordonlineenglish1 Can you explain to me why is that possible?
Today is my speaking test at 5 pm and tomorrow is my LRW examination and m feeling nervous 😳
Good luck.
Hope it went well!
