While-Reading #1 (5-7 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging specific information reading task

-Ss will start the reading exercises. First, they will be told to read the questions for key words, and check the magazine page for them to find the answers easily. -Then, Ss will scan the reading quickly in 3 minutes to find the answers to the questions in reading ex.1. -In pairs, Ss will check their answers with the answer key.
