Reading Comprehension 05
Reading comprehension involves understanding what is written. The text is written by the writer with a purpose for the reader to discover. The text could contain information that is factual or fictional and it may be hidden in the text. It may relate to the reader’s experience or to the writer’s experience. Here is an example:
‘When told about the show being held at Chowdiah Memorial Hall, Raghav shook his head and just murmured to himself.’
This is text that is factual because you know where the show takes place. It is also text that raises some doubt in you. If you are aware of Chowdiah Memorial Hall, it will immediately bring memories of the hall to mind. Your opinion of the hall will make you think about the hall and the kind of show it hosts. Also, the reader will want to know why Raghav shook his head. Could it be because the hall is not good for a show of the kind that is to be held or is the hall too good for the person who is holding the show? The reader could also relate to the text if he has had experience of watching a show at the hall. Likewise, he could also relate to the writer and the person who holds the show.
If you ever want quick and excellent food any time of the day, there is nothing to beat Maiya’s in Jayanagar, Bangalore.
The restaurant is housed in a multistory building with separate sections for different cuisines. If you have come for a snack in the evening, then you need to go to the first floor and if the restaurant is crowded, you give your name to the steward who registers you and provides you appropriate seating when the vacancy arises, which probably is in a few minutes. The steward takes care to see that your table is cleaned and ready for you.
The moment you are seated at your table, the smart steward hands you the detailed menu card and simultaneously, the neatly uniformed waiter places glasses of water. You have a tremendous variety of snacks to choose from and, if necessary, the waiter/steward would give you advice. Once you have ordered, without much ado your orders are executed in a very courteous manner. During the course of your snacking, the waiter/steward constantly checks on you to satisfy every requirement of yours. As soon as you are finished the waiter brings the check and your payment is collected and you are off on your way after having consumed an excellent fare.
You would find that you have had a sumptuous snack in very quick time and you definitely savour the experience and would want to visit again.
