    1. In this way of thinking about texts, there is not one rightand perfect meaning for the diligent reader to uncover; rather, inter-pretations of the reading will differ depending on the questions andcontexts readers bring to the text.

      I think this is very important in every kind of readings because the text is written in one way but there are multiple meaning behind it. I think the way you think of the writing will change the whole meaning of the text. In this situation, the tone of the text is very important because it describes how the meaning of the text is being delivered.

    2. Abstracts, thus, are generallydense, and it’s not uncommon to read through an abstract and nothave a clue about what you just read. This is a good place to re-read,highlight, underline, look up what you don’t know. You still may nothave a firm grasp on everything in the abstract, but treat the key termsin the abstract like parts of a map when you see them in the main text,leading you to treasure: understanding the main argument

      I understand the difficulty of dealing with complex abstract concepts. Even after reading them, I sometimes find myself confused by their content. However, I've learned that taking the time to re-read, underline important parts, and look for up unfamiliar terms may be really beneficial. It's like going on a treasure hunt, with key phrases acting as guideposts to help me understand the main idea better. This method not only good for better understanding, but it also makes the experience of reading academic texts easier and more meaningful.

    3. The formula also changes depending on the flavor of study (phys-ics, management, sociology, English, etc.) and the venue. However, ifyou determine that the audience for your reading is other academics,recognize that you are in foreign territory. You won’t understand all ofthe chatter you hear on street corners, you may not be able to read themenus in the restaurants, but, with a little practice, you will be ableto find and understand the major road signs, go in the right direction,and find your way

      The formula does in fact change depending on the type of study and its setting. While reading for academic purposes, it may seem unfamiliar, but the experience will help you understand the key ideas. This is very relatable to me as I'm still in the process of learning the language so its very different on how, when and for what you use the language.
