When I prepared TOFEL test last year, I realized the importance of schema. At that time, I had many difficuties reading TOFEL reading materials for some reasons. Among them, What made me mostly frustrated was various topics or fields of reading materials. Especially, I felt hard to understand the essay about science and art. I still remember the essay about botany which made me frustrated. Even I did not know the term 'botany', and I had no any ideas about that. Additionally, the essay containd many technical terms and professional knowledge. It was beyond my capacity. To solve this problem, my teacher give me a summary which contanins many botany terms and important knowledge in the field. Surprisingly, I felt easier to read botany essay after reading the summary. It helped me develop my shema about botany and activated my backgoruond knowledge. Throughout this episode, I realized how schma helps read and understand reading in deed.
