List down the four types of reading style together with their meaning and purpose.

➙ Skimming is reading rapidly in order to get a general overview of the material. Scanning is reading rapidly in order to find specific facts. While skimming tells you what general information is within a section, scanning helps you locate a particular fact.
➙ Scanning is reading a text quickly in order to find specific information, e.g. figures or names. It can be contrasted with skimming, which is reading quickly to get a general idea of meaning.
➙ Intensive reading is to read with full concentration and complete focus. Reading intensively will help you tackle complex texts. You'll be able to strengthen your reading comprehension, vocabulary and language skills.
➙ Extensive reading involves learners reading texts for enjoyment and to develop general reading skills. It can be compared with intensive reading, which means reading in detail with specific learning aims and tasks.
