La compresión lectora es una de las competencias básicas que todo profesional debe
cultivar para poder acceder de forma directa a cualquier tema de interés, además de
cualquier tema especializado que le permita seguir creciendo dentro de su ámbito laboral.
Teniendo en cuenta que un gran volumen de la información que se encuentra disponible
está escrita en inglés, debido a los procesos de globalización, es importante desarrollar una
comprensión lectora tanto en la lengua materna, como en inglés.
Una buena comprensión lectora, se demostrará no sólo en el ámbito laboral, sino también
en el académico y personal. Emitir juicios y reflexionar acerca del mundo que leemos para
saber si conocemos algo del mismo, es importante puesto que cuando se es capaz de
realizar inferencias desarrollamos nuestro razonamiento y ponemos en marcha estrategias
que nos permiten comprender el mundo que nos rodea desde diferentes perspectivas.
Por lo anterior, la presente evidencia busca afianzar esos procesos de comprensión e
inferencia de textos en inglés a través del desarrollo de diferentes actividades de
comprensión propuestas en un taller de lectura denominado Reading workshop:
Inferring from context.

Reading workshop: Inferring from context
Proficient or good readers understand that writers often tell more than they actually say
with words. They give you hints or clues that allow you to draw conclusions from
information that is implied. Using these clues to “read between the lines” and reach a
deeper understanding of the message is called inferring.
The following workshop will help you understand meaning from context go to below the
surface details to see what is actually implied (not stated) within the words of the text.
I. Understanding text organization
Read the following text and answer the questions below:

1. Organize the text. As you could notice, five sentences were removed. Please,
check the following options to complete the text. Pay attention, there is one extra
option that is not necessary.
- People want convenience

- From small, local businesses to national giants
- Periodically, the company sent an email to its customer list announcing the arrival of an especially interesting
merchandise.
- Fifty-six percent of millennials say they won't buy if there's not a same-day option
- Or whipping out a phone in the store to order an item that's out of stock at that location, is
just part of the everyday shopping experience
- E-commerce continues to redefine the way people shop.
TIP: Pay attention to linking words or punctuation marks to determine the
best option for each case
I. Finding synonyms. According to the text, match the proper synonym for
each of the terms from column A with the synonyms from column B.
II. Reading between lines
Read the following text and answer the questions below:
- Determined to pay as low a price as possible for materials, manufacturers

have not traditionally cultivated warm relationships with suppliers. In the
words of one general manager: “The best approach to supply is to have as
many players as possible fighting for their piece of the pie—that’s when you
get the best pricing.” Excellent supply chain management requires a more
enlightened mindset— recognizing, as a more progressive manufacturer did:
“Our supplier’s costs are in effect our costs. If we force our supplier to
provide 90 days of consigned material when 30 days are sufficient, the cost
of that inventory will find its way back into the supplier’s price to us since it
increases his cost structure.” While manufacturers should place high
demands on suppliers, they should also realize that partners must share the
goal of reducing costs across the supply chain in order to lower prices in
the marketplace and enhance margins. The logical extension of this thinking
is gain-sharing arrangements to reward everyone who contributes to the
greater profitability.
a. Manufacturers have not cultivated good relationships in order to get:
_x_ Low rates.
b. A general manager compares supplying to:
_x_ A piece of the pie.
c. Suppliers’ costs are also:
_x_ Manufacturers’ costs
d. Manufacturers not only place high demands on suppliers, but also:
_x_ Accept that partners should diminish costs in the supply chain.
III. Understanding active and passive roles
We use the active or passive voice to focus attention on the responsible agent of an action
or the receiver (object) of the same action.
1. Check the following job descriptions within the supply chain and determine if the
sentence is written down in active or passive voice. Check the example.

2. Read the following case study and complete it with one of the verbs from the box in the appropriate form, active or
passive, for each case. Check the example.
3. The following is the testimony of someone that has witnessed a robbery in a Distribution Center, but this person does
not want his/her information to be
revealed. Please, rewrite his/her testimony in the Passive Voice. Check the example:
Somebody has stolen a truck from outside the Distribution Center. The thief drove the truck off the parking lot at 10:00
p.m. The thief used a stick to open the car. Some other workers at the loading area also saw the thief. The police are
searching for the truck now. They will use the workers’ descriptions to catch the thief.
