How to read.
Many people, even some teachers, think that they know how to read.
They don’t.
What many have learned is how to scan. Scanning or speed reading is not bad as a extra skill it allows you to cover a lot of pages fast, which may be OK for a novel, but is not good for a political speech or a history book where every word has meaning.
Perhaps the smartest Prof I ever knew had the habit of keeping note paper in his books and writing down words new to him.
He told me of “Course it is better to look the words up at the time, but one may not have a good dictionary to hand and this is far better than remaining ignorant .” He, by the way spoke at least 5 tongues and was a language Professor of the Old School.
That habit will also will lead to careful listening which is a required skill for a voter in a free Republic like ours.
Example? Sure. Vote for me and I will work for a better world. Look at the word “better” what does that pol mean by better? Why what ever you think he means.
In other words ,,,,the pol is saying trust me….
