THE DALAI LAMA IN BUDAPEST, HUNGARY
step 2 - reading comprehension

Read the texts again, try to understand them with the help of the glossary and the double click dictionary plugin (see below) and then tell or write what they are about.

TIPS

» Now it is not important to know the exact meaning of every word, only to understand the sentences. Try to find the most important "keywords" and don't spend much time on any word you don't understand. (Maybe they are not so important.) For unknown words you can use the glossary or the "double-click" dictionary, but first always try to find out the meaning of a word from its context.

» Try to tell or write the essence of the article using your own vocabulary (the words you already know). Make very simple sentences. If it helps you, first create the sentences in your native language.


To look up a word, double click on any word or mark more than one word with the cursor, then click on "Definition".

To listen to the pronunciation of a word choose the appropriate word in the opening window and click on the "Pronunciation" icon.
