You Will Never See Me Fall

Let’s think! More By Joyce Alcantara


Published: April 2008

You may see me struggle,


but you won't see me fall.
Regardless if I'm weak or not,
I'm going to stand tall.
Everyone says life is easy,
but truly living it is not.
Times get hard,
people struggle
and constantly get put on the spot.
I'm going to wear the biggest smile,
even though I want to cry.
I'm going to fight to live,
even though I'm destined to die.
And even though it's hard
and I may struggle through it all,
you may see me struggle...
but you will NEVER see me fall.

a good grasp of the idea, as to where your required
detail will be found

text (dates, numbers, names etc.)

 Scanning requires a higher understanding of word


recognition compared to skimming.

main idea. To skim effectively, you need
to read only a part of the material.

How to skim?
 Read the first paragraph attentively to get an idea of
what will be discussed in the text.

 Read the first (and sometimes the second) sentence of


each paragraph - they give the main idea of the
paragraph.
 After you have read the first sentences, your eyes should
drop down to the end of the paragraph, looking for
important pieces of information, such as dates and names.
 Read the last paragraph attentively as it may contain
the summary.
