Although reading for meaning may sound simple, it can be quite difficult: 

• Sometimes it is hard to find the right information.
• Sometimes you need bring together information from different places in the text.
• Sometimes an idea is expressed in complex language.
• Sometimes you have to choose between very similar answers.
• Sometimes an idea only makes sense once you understand the ideas before and after it.
