VORWORT
Liebe Schülerin, lieber Schüler! Lesen soll ein wichtiger Bestandteil deines Lebens sein. Lies sorgfältig und genau. Manchmal kommt es auf kleine Details an. Du brauchst auch nicht bei jedem unterstrichenen Wort in den unter den Texten angeführten Tabellen nachsehen. Diese Tabellen dienen nur zur Sicherheit, falls du etwas wirklich nicht verstehst. Sehr viele Wörter wirst du aus dem Zusammenhang erraten können. Wenn bei einem Text ein Vokabel zweimal vorkommt, ist es nur beim ersten Auftreten erklärt. Wenn du besonders fleißig sein möchtest, kannst du die Vokabellisten auswendig lernen. Dann wird dir das Lesen und Verstehen immer leichter fallen. Im Key sind bei den Lösungen False (F) zu deiner Kontrolle in Klammer immer die richtigen Versionen angeführt. Viel Freude beim Lesen! Prof. Mag. Claudia Lichtenwagner
