time. Let’s take some simple examples. Do you know how to (2) __________ up words in a

Part 10. READING
WHAT IS YOUR LEARNING STYLE?
1. If you find yourself learn better by making notes during the lecture, or when the teacher uses
a new word, you want to see (it) written immediately, then you are very likely to be a more
(visual) learner. You prefer to see the written words. You learn by reading and writing. Visual
learners often think in pictures. If you find a particular task or text difficult, look for sources that
will suit your learning style, e.g. sources with illustrations, charts, tables, or videos.
2. If you prefer recording the lecture and listening again to taking notes, or you memorize
something by repeating it aloud instead of writing it out several times, you are probably a more
(auditory) learner. You prefer to learn by listening and speaking. Auditory learners often learn
best from lectures, discussions, by reading aloud, and by listening to audio material.
However, it is probably that you, like most people, learn through a mixture of styles. Sometimes
you may prefer to learn by reading, at other time by listening. Ask yourself which is the best style
for the particular task you are doing.
