                        FINDING DETAILS

                        In order to understand specifically about what you are reading about, you need
                        to find the specific details or information. This is similar with the scanning skill.

                        Follow these steps to find the specific details of a reading selection:
                          Read closely what a text says explicitly.
                          Look for keywords that mentioned in the question.
                          Identify the specific details from the text (name, number, place, time, reasons)

                          Usually, the answers of Wh-questions can be the specific details of the text
