Questions 1
1.1 Reading is not only a mechanical process of looking at and recognizing
Words and absorbing them; it is a critical process of recognising words, absorbing their
meaning on different levels and in different ways and then processing the information in our
minds to obtain a deeper understanding of ourselves, other people and the world (TL501
2020: 8)
1.1 Identify any two crucial aspects of the critical reading process from the given
explanation. In your opinion, why are they important in this process?
According to study unit 1-2
Recognizing words and absorbing their meaning on different levels
Critical reading involves more than just understanding the literal meaning of words. It
requires readers to delve deeper into the text, recognizing connotations, implications, and
nuances. This aspect is important because it allows readers to grasp the full richness of the
text, including its subtleties, metaphors, and symbolism. By understanding words on
multiple levels, readers can extract deeper meanings and insights from the text, enhancing
their overall comprehension and critical engagement.
Processing the information in our minds to obtain a deeper understanding
Critical reading goes beyond surface-level comprehension; it involves actively processing
the information obtained from the text to gain deeper insights and understanding.
