I first would distribute a small piece of paper filled with those words or more that I have selected for them to make them first focus on them. After they took a look, I would distribute the article to them to read in 30 minutes and then I would tell them while they are reading, to higlight the words that they have read beforehand they read the article. After they finished reading I would ask them why I put the focus on these sepecific words, what can be the importance of these words for us and I would like to ask them to summarize the text by making a connection to the words that were given to them from the very begining of the activity. My aim by doing like this would be make my students to specific the frequent words that they face with in the article and not to focus each word through reading because they don't have to know each word in a text. All they need to do is try to find the key words that will help them through reading it so they will figure out the main purpose / theme of the article.

Anwer for the second question in the Task2: In my opinion, there may be times for students that they got busy because their readings and assingments. In this case, as student, I can say that time is very very important thing for a student to feel good and hopeful to fulfill the assingments. Therefore, such a view of text can be effective in summarizing 1-2 pages long readings for students and this will provide students not to waste time on reading at all.
