Step Three: Ss sum up the main idea for the last part. Step Four 1 Ss form groups to re-read the text to provide definitions for “blind spot”, “global positioning system”, “atomic clock”, “telematics” and “automated driver”. 2 Ss are invited to report their discussion findings. 3 T solicits answers to the following question that by what means did Ss come up with those definitions and then explains the importance of being able to guess word meanings by decoding the context. An efficient reader knows. He/she can make agues based on knowledge of word-formation or knowledge of the world or the context. For example, when the reader comes across “ Should you make a serious driving mistake (eg, change lanes when there is a car in your ‘blind spot’) the computer would sound an immediate warning”, he or she can guess from the context that a blind spot must be a portion of the road behind a car, which a driver can not observe form the rear-view mirror. What is the Global Positioning System? From the sentence containing this term (“we already have twenty-four Navstar satellites orbiting the earth, making up what is called the Global Positioning System.”, we know it is a service linked with a satellite. From the following sentence we know its function (“They make it possible to determine your location on the earth to within about a hundred feet.”) What is an atomic clock? The answer is found in exactly the same sentence. It vibrates at a precise frequency, according to the laws of the quantum theory. We can guess the meaning of “telematics” from its word formation. The prefix “tele-” means “distant”, the suffix “-matics” may be the end part of “informatics”. Then the sentence in the text-“GPS is actually but part of a larger movement, called ‘telematics’”-tells us more about it
