Both you and she know that if you aren’t sure what you want, you are not likely to find it. But suppose you say instead, “Yes, thank you. I want a pair of sun glasses.” She says, “Right this way, please.” It’s quite the same with your studying. If you choose a book, “just looking” for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that—nothing. 52 Your reasons will vary。 lying。 17. How long does the break in Barcelona last? A.

Because you know why you are reading or studying, you relate the information to your purpose and remember it better.

You have a kind of mental conversation with the author. This additional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating it, relating it to what you already know, and using it for your own purposes. 55 One part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is distinguishing between facts and opinions.
