Interpratation of texts


In order to interpret a text, the reader must have into account the coherence, the connectors, and paragraphs to communicate the idea. To comprehend a text, it’s important to have pre-knowledge, and the principle bases of reading and understanding, attention, reading comprehension. The text must have an intention, what it wants to communicate, what for, and why he/she intends to say it.



my interpretation about her explanation is:

It’s very interesting because she says that the words “how” or “why” is to explain something, it’s highlighted and draw the attention easily. The first paragraph is an introduction of what it’s going to be about. The second paragraph talks about the parts of the balloon, the third paragraph how it works, and the last paragraph a general conclusion.

It’s very clear and she has a nice accent that make you feel relax and awake, it’s like how it would be talking with her face to face and enchanted by her voice. The first three paragraphs are in simple present tense, it’s a great way to present a text in such a style. Also, we have to take into account the connectors, they give flexibility, understanding and coherence to the text.
