Reading strategies

Before reading, look at the title, pictures and the first couple of lines of the text.  Look for clues to help you predict what kind of text it is and what it is about.

Read the text to get the general idea.  Ignore words you don’t know.

Read the text again.  Try to work out the meaning of important new words. Use a dictionary if you can't.

2017 message

Don't let anyone push you around in 2017.
This is your year.
You are going to do great things.
You are going to stop feeling guilty.
You are going to stop sacrificing your happiness and goals to others.
Instead you are going to go out and do the things you've always wanted to do while your doubters sit on the sidelines and say " I can't believe it!"
