Q.2 Define and illustrate the difference between skimming and scanning by giving suitable examples.

Answer:

Skimming
A fast reading method that gives you an idea of what the text is about without having to read it in full
Means reading the introduction, the headlines or the first phrase of a paragraph Implies not having read the text before

Definitions
Skimming is a reading technique that allows readers to get the gist of a text without having to read the whole thing in full When skimming people will usually look at chapters or subtitles and even at the first phrase .
scanning is another method of fast reading, but this one is reserved for people looking through the text to find specific information. For example when you are writing a paper and you quickly look through a text to double check a date, a number or a fact It's the same thing a computer does with the "find" function, but you have to do it yourself

Skimming vs Scanning
The difference between skimming and scanning consists of purpose and technique.

Purpose
Skimming is a reading technique meant to give you idea of what the full text is about.scanning is meant to help you find specific information in a text.

Techniques 
Skimming techniques include reading the introduction, the headlines, or the first phrase of the paragraph.On the other hand ,scanning means looking over the whole text quickly in search of specific information.
You skim a text at first sight and decide on whether to read it in full However, when it comes to scanning, it is implied that you know at least the information you are looking for.
Usage
You can spot people scanning a text as they will be more concerned with the form of words and will tend to use their fingers to go through the text and not jump around A must in case of scanning is that the reader knows what information he is looking for
On the other hand, people can use skimming to decide whether they will read the text in full You can use this technique in the library to tell whether a book contains the necessary information for a paper or in a bookshop to see whether a book is worth buying.

Well, it was a short story of my life when I was a kid probably. 6 years. My friends & I. use to hang out around the tree which was near the playing ground. One of my friends father had tied a rope there and made a swing like stuff for us. We swing there one by one.one of my friend was very very naughty and lie a lot. He said to me It is my turn now. I said, no It is mine.He hit  me and I fell down. I stand up and ask for my turn. Again he hit me and I fell down This  t, me 1 was very angry and with the frowning eyes, I warned him. if he wont let me swing I will hit you with the stone He said," Whatever”" I took a small stone in my hand and I throw onto him without thinking it could hurt his eyes and harm him He started crying and come down And I started swinging.
            The same day in the evening his mother comes to my house complaining my mother and said. " See. what your daughter has done to my son near his eyes it is bleeding" She was full...her eyes were red, eyebrows raised onto me. Screaming and shouting at me. blur"! I was speechlessly Pretending to be innocent My mother asked me about the incident and I explained to her the whole story, how he hit me and my legs were bleeding and saw her the scratches on my hands, and finally, how I throw the stone on him, I didn’t 
       1 did not know this could happen. That lady was still shouting on me and my mother asked her to bring a stone and let her son hit on my eyes. If this could make her son feel better then do that. Then she thinks for a while and said to my mother, "Oh I am sorry I don’t know why I spelled so bad words for you" My mother said, They are children and a friend's, today they fought and tomorrow they will play together again then why we are  blaming and shouting".
I did not forget these words my mother told her. That day I did not understand what was the meaning of those words and why my mother asked her to bring a stone but when I grew up I understood what she meant to say moment. After that incident, I never threw any stone on anybody.To the day when I remind that moment, I feel so bad for the foolish things I did. I was so silly and naughty girls.
