    Text Interpretation

    • Text comprehension refers to the process from the act of reading a textual production and
    understanding its structure to understanding the author’s words. Thus, it involves a knowledge of
    the grammatical functioning of language, vocabulary and textual genres – to discern the format in
    which the message was produced, for example.

    • Already the interpretation of text, it refers to the act of perceiving what the author wanted to say
    and, thus, to remove senses of the textual production. This process involves a knowledge of the
    reader’s world and the ability to understand the text as belonging to reality – and may even create
    intertextualities with other productions.

    • In this sense, learning to understand and interpret texts is not only important for the university
    entrance examination, but for a lifetime! The ability to understand the most varied types of
    speech will help the learning of other subjects, as well as being essential for understanding the
    world around you.
    Tips to improve text interpretation

    1. READING
    2. IMPROVING CONCENTRATION
    3.  EXPLAIN SELF WHAT IS BEING READ
    4. GRAMMAR STUDY
    5. WRITING
    READING

    • Increasing your daily reading load will greatly help you improve your
    ability to interpret texts, as it will broaden your textual analysis drills.
    And when we talk about “reading”, we are referring not only to books,
    but also to other productions, such as news reports, blog posts and
    even social media publications.

    • In addition to written material, text interpretation also covers the


    production of discourses in other formats, such as audiovisual – films,
    music and videos – and graphic language – tables and graphics, for
    example. The goal is to expand your repertoire.
    IMPROVING CONCENTRATION

    • To understand and interpret a text, it is essential to focus on what you are reading!
    Otherwise, you can reread the same sentence 10 times and still you will not understand
    anything that has been said. Therefore, you need to work on concentration, improving your
    ability to stay focused on the same activity.

    • Remember that it is quite normal to have some difficulty staying focused for more than an
    hour on the same activity, for example. So take some breaks for coffee or take a breath
    every 50 minutes of reading or study.

    • At first it can be very difficult, and it is very likely that, in the first few minutes, you already
    want to open Instagram and scroll through the feed! But it is essential to persist in the
    actions described above! Understand that improving your ability to concentrate will help
    you a lot in your studies and, later, in your professional life.
    EXPLAIN SELF WHAT IS BEING READ
    • Try to slow down the text by breaking it down
    into smaller parts so you do not have to
    interpret everything at once in the end. Also,
    adopt some practices that help you understand
    all the phrases and do not lose parts of the
    speech.
    GRAMMAR STUDY

    • Mastering the standard functioning of the language is fundamental to


    improving the ability to interpret text, as well as developing reading
    and writing skills. That’s because grammar studies will help you
    understand the role each structure has in creating meaning in
    sentences.

    • While reading, always try to have a dictionary around. Each time you
    notice a word that you do not know the meaning, note or search. This
    exercise will help you not miss any important term within the text.
    Writing

    • Reading and writing are very related processes.


    Therefore, writing well will help you develop a
    better understanding of texts, as you will be
    more familiar with the structures of the
    language and how they organize to create
    meaning.
