Eva Perón.

The Eva Perón portrayed in the movie Evita is a modern-day saint who dedicated her short life to help the poor people in her country. But what was the real woman like? It is generally agreed that Eva had a genuine desire to help the poor. There are stories of her inviting street children into the presidential palace to give them baths and food to treat their illnesses. However, it cannot be denied that Evita was also a fascist who admired Hitler, Mussolini and Franco. She was vain and capricious. She spent huge amounts of money on her appearance. She even changed her birth certificate to create a false identity for herself in order to hide her illegitimate birth. The real Eva Perón was not saintly or perfect, but human, with mixture of good and bad qualities.



Scanning:


When we want to find specific information without wasting time, we look quicly at the text from top to bottom to find the information we want without really reading the text. This is called scanning and is useful for things like phone books, indexes, and another types of lists.


Skimming:


It means looking through a text very quickly to get a general idea of the topic of the whole text, or the topic of each section or paragraph. When we skim, we do not read every word. We look for key words and ideas.
