2
00:00:04.970 --> 00:00:06.680
Bob has found a
book which relates

3
00:00:06.680 --> 00:00:10.385
to a lecture he went to, but
he doesn't know where to start.

4
00:00:10.385 --> 00:00:14.280
It is a very large book with
a lot of information in it.

5
00:00:14.280 --> 00:00:16.370
The best way to approach
a book like this

6
00:00:16.370 --> 00:00:20.450
is to start asking
yourself questions.

7
00:00:20.450 --> 00:00:23.210
Bob thinks back to his lecture
and remembers questions

8
00:00:23.210 --> 00:00:25.290
he had before the
lecture and questions

9
00:00:25.290 --> 00:00:27.320
he had after the lecture.

10
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:29.870
So he asked himself how
the information in the book

11
00:00:29.870 --> 00:00:32.420
might relate to all
these questions.

12
00:00:32.420 --> 00:00:35.420
Will it help him
find some answers?

13
00:00:35.420 --> 00:00:37.659
But the book looks
big and complicated.

14
00:00:37.659 --> 00:00:39.200
And he is not sure
whether he's going

15
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:42.180
to be able to cope with
the information in it.

16
00:00:42.180 --> 00:00:44.200
Does he know enough
to understand it?

17
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:48.350
Is he going to understand the
vocabulary used in the book?

18
00:00:48.350 --> 00:00:50.800
So Bob opens up the
book and is confronted

19
00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:52.920
with a mass of information.

20
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:56.490
But he needs to find a few
key points to read about.

21
00:00:56.490 --> 00:00:58.030
He asks himself how
he can find what

22
00:00:58.030 --> 00:01:00.580
he wants amongst all
this information.

23
00:01:00.580 --> 00:01:02.980
He's worried that he might
have to read the whole lot,

24
00:01:02.980 --> 00:01:06.050
and he doesn't have
time to do that.

25
00:01:06.050 --> 00:01:09.340
He gets very concerned, so makes
an appointment with a lecturer

26
00:01:09.340 --> 00:01:11.080
to get some help.

27
00:01:11.080 --> 00:01:12.750
His lecturer talks
him through a process

28
00:01:12.750 --> 00:01:16.130
which will help him
develop a reading strategy.

29
00:01:16.130 --> 00:01:18.330
So Bob goes back to
his book and asks

30
00:01:18.330 --> 00:01:20.690
himself some key questions.

31
00:01:20.690 --> 00:01:22.940
Why do I want to read this book?

32
00:01:22.940 --> 00:01:24.720
And he thinks that
the answer to this

33
00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:27.345
is that he wants to find
answers to specific questions he

34
00:01:27.345 --> 00:01:28.930
had from the lecture.

35
00:01:28.930 --> 00:01:32.260
This helps him to think about
how he will read the book.

36
00:01:32.260 --> 00:01:34.640
But where can he
find the answers?

37
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.260
His lecturer told him to
find key words in the index

38
00:01:37.260 --> 00:01:39.075
and contents pages,
in a similar way

39
00:01:39.075 --> 00:01:42.340
to using such terms in a
search engine on his computer.

40
00:01:42.340 --> 00:01:45.710
And that will take him to
relevant pages in the book.

41
00:01:45.710 --> 00:01:47.790
The book is not
easy to read, and he

42
00:01:47.790 --> 00:01:49.440
needs a subject-specific
dictionary

43
00:01:49.440 --> 00:01:53.800
by his side to look up words
he does not understand.

44
00:01:53.800 --> 00:01:56.220
But he finds that doing
extra reading is enjoyable.

45
00:01:56.220 --> 00:01:59.420
He is discovering more about
the subject by himself.

46
00:01:59.420 --> 00:02:01.170
He is building up his
own unique knowledge

47
00:02:01.170 --> 00:02:04.990
base, which helps reinforce the
information he has been given.

48
00:02:04.990 --> 00:02:06.640
This gives him extra
information which

49
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:08.759
he can add to his
revision notes.

50
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:11.730
He finds the whole subject
even more exciting than before.

51
00:02:11.730 --> 00:02:13.770
And he feels more
confident in himself

52
00:02:13.770 --> 00:02:16.580
and in his learning as a whole.
