Reading skills, such as browsing and skimming,

Skimming is one of the common reading methods, and its main feature is selective reading. Reading at ordinary times needs to see every word and pay attention to 1-2 words at a time.

There are two important methods in reading skills, especially speed skills: skimming & scanning.

Skimming is a kind of speed reading that only reads the main idea. The general idea of an article is focused. For example, when there is such a first-second classification summary, or a causal relationship such as cause, result, or a semantic turning point of but, we need to pay special attention. TOEFL articles usually have examples to prove the main points. If you understand the main points, you don't need much time and energy to use the examples. When reading an article for the first time, skimming skills are very important in order to grasp the main idea of the article.
