Note : Skimming is a reading skill. We skim through to get an
overall view of the passage, that is, global comprehension. We
usually read fast to skim and note down the important points,
mentally or on a piece of paper.

Task : different texts are given below. Read them as fast as you
can. Then, answer the questions given below them.

Text a: Above the quiet dock in midnight

Tangled in the tall mast’s corded height

Hangs the moon. What seemed so far away

Is but a child’s balloon, forgotten after play.
