I have found these Economist's passages which can be used to practice active reading strategies. 1) Read the passage. 2) Make notes. 3) Identify the flow of the passage. 4) Identify the reason behind writing each paragraph. 5) Predict the purpose of next paragraph. 6) At last, identify the main point. Note: These passages / articles do not include any question. Happy practicing. SD
