1.The types of academics text that i find most challenging is Highly Specialized Technical Text.This is because these texts, such as those in fields like advanced physics, certain areas of mathematics, or specialized medical research, can be difficult because they often rely on domain-specific language, complex formulas, and very niche concepts. Understanding them requires extensive context and background knowledge that might be outside the scope of general academic literature.

2.I will Identify the Purpose and Scope.I start by determining the overall aim of the material. Is the author presenting a new theory, reviewing existing literature, proposing a methodology, or analyzing a specific case? Understanding the purpose helps me focus on key elements within the text.

3.My stratergies is I actively engage by asking questions about the content and reflecting on its meaning. This helps build a deeper connection to the material.Other than that,I highlight key concepts, summarize points in my own words, and jot down questions or insights as I read. Writing helps reinforce what I've learned.

# data[].attributes.body
1. In my opinion, research article is the most challenging academic texts because the author need to spend a lot of time and energy to find and get the exact information of relevant topic. It is very stressful and struggle when all the research data list out in front of your face. From other aspect, reader have to take time for understanding the academic texts as well because generally the research article need deep thinking.

2. First of all, I will take a quick scanning of the material to find some key word for capturing the outline. Second, I smoothly read the text from introduction to summary and keep question mark of the content in my mind. Third, I try to find out the answer of my question in the text by only reading the main ideas of the material or I will open another windows to search something relevant for further understanding. I will find meaning of complex words of the material as well. Last, I will read again from the introduction to summary to keep my own understanding about the material.

3. Open google to start searching with key words is one of the efficient ways to understand the information from academic texts. Other than that, I discuss with my friends and speak out our mind to understand the information from different viewpoints. Keep record by downloading the pdf or writing on notes is useful for retaining the information to do comparison with other relevant academic texts.

•The type of academic text I find most challenging is in fields like law and economics because these fields always use complex words and terminology. These fields also use some complex sentence structures and abstract concepts that are difficult for readers who are unfamiliar with the field to understand directly.

• I will try to read the material first and then consulting dictionaries to understand unfamiliar vocabulary and finding relevant article or explanation on Internet to understand the concepts.

• I will do a quick slim to get the general idea before reading the text in depth. While reading, I will take notes on unfamiliar vocabulary and concepts that are difficult to understand. After that, I will check the dictionary or search on Google to clarify these terms. I also find some simple examples to help me understand the concepts. At last, I will summarize the key points in my notes.

1. Types of academic texts that i find most challenging is reports.It is because reports have many sections such as experiments,surveys and investigation. Every section has detailed information which can be hard to understand without further knowledge.

2. Firstly,I will preview the material such as read the introduction,headings,and any highlighted texts to grasp the main ideas quickly.Next,I will Break it down the materials.I will takes notes while reading to summarise key points.This helps me to improve my overall understanding and pay more closer attention to important details.Lastly,I will review my notes and and the highlighted text to help me reinforce about what i have studied.

3. I will explain the text to myself by using my own words and language.This helps me to understand the text more better and strengthen my memory.Other than that,I will take notes about the important key points.Lastly,I will try to relate the text with something that i have already understand to makes it more easier.

As for me , I find report is the most challenging academic text as it needs to be in detail and precise especially for technical reports as it determines either its a positive or negative output. Moreover, reports usually contain unfamiliar scenarios , words or definition from other languages which will take more effort for the reporter to define them or there may be case without a solid background that makes the case study more complicated especially for technical type of report that requires a detailed explanation behind every cases .

In order to approach the material , I will first read the report for the first time and imagine the scenario in my head followed by highlighting important information using different colours of highlighters to differentiate between facts like numbers and the name of places . However , if I find the report is complicated and hard to understand , I will mark the text according by the traffic light colours whereby the green colour indicates the part I fully understand and red for the part where I need to pressure more as it indicates the statement that I don’t slightly or not understand at all . The other approach is by understanding the title of the report  . This method helps me to identify the information and message that is delivered instead of blindly reading the text and not understanding anything .

As a person who loves to write , jotting down notes helps me to understand the text better  . Mind map is a really good choice for understanding the text better as it’s compacted with useful information while keeping the word minimum. The internet has made the information search more efficient and easy . This helps me to obtain more information needed just by typing the keyword of the report and it will appear on my screen . Furthermore , I often summarise the report in my own terms which makes it easier to understand. Instead of using lengthy and complicated terms , I usually just write them in short form just for me to understand . By combining and improvising these strategies from time to time , I find this makes my revision easier than any other method.

1) I think that case studies is the most challenging academic text.This because we need to apply theories to real life examples which can be confusing and difficult to understand. Not only that, we need to think deeply to analyse the situation and find solution which can make rhe process feel stressful.

2)First and foremost, I will skim the text to get quick ideas of what it's about. Next, i will search relevant cases in Google to understand more better. Additionally, I also search meaning of the word that I didn't understand. Thus, it helps me to learn new words.

3)Firstly, I will take notes on important details. Other than that, I will highlight key points and look up any words that I don't understand. Next, I will read the text to understand the main ideas. By doing this, I will get a clear overview.

1. The types of academic texts that i find most challenging is case study. It is because case study often deal with real-life situations that are complex and involve multiple factors, such as people, events, or conditions. Furthermore, it also frequently present multiple viewpoints. Understanding and reconciling these perspectives while analyzing the situation can be complicated, especially when they conflict. Other than that, case study is also context-dependent, it's hard to draw clear or universal conclusions, interpret detailed and examine real-life situations to draw conclusions or test theories.

2. I do approach reading complex academic material by skimming through the structure to get an overview of the main themes and focusing on headings. After that, i will highlight the key points so i can read and identify the text easily. Then, i will write note and look up any unfamiliar terms. In this way i also can learn new words or terms.

3. The strategies that i use to understand and retain information from academic texts by taking note such as write down important points or summaries in my own words. Second, i will break the text into smaller so i can avoid from getting confused. Third, i will relate new information to what i already know. Lastly, i will look for additional resources like videos, articles, or discussions to clarify my understanding.

1) In my opinion, research paper is the most difficult academic text to read. The reason is the length of the research mostly are very long. There are a lot of information in the content to understand, as it required a lot of time and concentration to read thoroughly. Other than that, the technical language that has been used in the content. Some people may not be familiar with the language they used in the research articles.

2) First, I will read the whole text first including the tittle of the material. As I read, I will try to identify and highlight the main point of the text. After reading the whole text, I will start to scribe down the point I found. This will help me to understand more about the material. I will also google or use dictionaries to search any word that I'm not familiar with.

3) The first thing I will do is, I will scribe down the important things from the text. If there is anything I did not understand, I will use google or discuss with my friends to understand deeper about the text. I will also summarize the text with my own words to my understanding. These strategies will help me to understand the text faster.

1.In my opinion, historical documents is the most challenging academic texts. It is because the historical documents have some older historical texts. For example,primary sources from centuries ago,may use outdated language,references and structures that require additional context.They may also be difficult to explain due to the time and cultural differences.

2.First, I will read the academic texts and to understand the context to familiarize with the overall subject of the text.Next, i will identify the structure of the text, I will scan the documents for key section such as the introduction,headings,subheadings,conclusion and any summaries come fro the text. It is because this will help to understand the organization and flow of idea.

3.I will make a note to myself and preview back after doing all the notes.I think this help me to improve my vocabulary and also being more excited in study. I also discuss with my friend to share the idea and learn together.

Case studies are one of the most challenging academic texts for me to engage with because of their unique complexity and demands. Case studies often have a non-linear structure, requiring the reader to connect background information, data analysis, and conclusions. This makes it difficult to follow the flow of the narrative and extract information effectively.

I do approach reading complex academic by using a structured approach to make it more manageable. First, I preview the text by skimming the title, abstract, and headings to get an overview. Next, I break the material into smaller sections, focusing on one part at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed. To ensure comprehension, I highlight key terms and unfamiliar concepts for researching them as needed .

To effectively understand and retain information from academic texts, I usually take notes and paraphrase complex ideas in my own words to ensure comprehension while reading. then,I find that summarizing main points on a section basis helps solidify my understanding of the topic and serves as a quick reference for my future review. This will helps deepen my understanding and identify gaps in my knowledge.

1.The types of academic texts that I find challenging is case studies. This is because case studies require a deep understanding of the background, if the background is misunderstood, very easy write wrong. Challenging for case studies also has the analysis requirement. It is because we not only want to understand the content, we also must evaluate reasoning and implications.

2. When I start reading complex academic material, first I preview the text. I skim the title and summary to understand the overall structure and purpose. Next, I read each paragraph one part at a time to avoid misunderstanding the paragraph. I also open google translate to check the meaning of words I don’t know. Last, I take notes and highlight the key words for each paragraph.

3.I will highlight the important arguments, definitions and example to make it easier to read. Next, I use the google translate to check the meaning of words I don’t understand. Last, I do the note-taking. In my note I can summarize the key points in my own words, so I can easily understand the academic texts.

1. In my opinion, Academic writing is considered a challenging task among university undergraduates. So,I think that the most challenging academic text is research article. Research article difficulties are a common challenge in academic writing, and can refer to the process and skills of finding, evaluating, and using sources. These difficulties can lead to a lack of depth, quality, or originality in your writing, as well as plagiarism or ethical issues. To avoid research difficulties, it is recommended that you start your research early and allocate enough time and effort to conduct a comprehensive search. Utilize a variety of sources such as books, journals, websites, databases, etc., while evaluating them for their credibility, accuracy, and relevance. Additionally, use citation tools such as Zotero or Mendeley to organize and manage your references and citations. Finally, use paraphrasing, summarizing, and quoting techniques while citing your sources correctly and consistently following the required citation style.

2. First of all I will make sure i have get the enough time to read and complete my complex academic material.When I first read a text, I will often encounter new vocabulary and ideas I do not understand. Keep going. Understanding comes through re-reading. Firstly, I will read it again to get the main meaning of the text. Note anything I do not understand to look up later. Secondly,I often make notes as i go to help myself keep track of the points in the text.

3. For me I'm not a particularly patient person for boring learning. So, i will Make it Interesting to give myself like to learn it.Because most people struggle with focusing on uninteresting topics. To combat this, try to make the topic personal. One way to personalize a topic is to focus on how it will be applied in your career. Another than, I will Take a Break to give me breath and pause. It’s difficult to fight the impulse of rushing through the material, but the outcome of this habit is limited retention. Rather than reading my study materials from beginning to end, absorb it in small chunks, pause to reflect and review the concepts, then move on. Be sure to take regular breaks so you do not lose interest or enthusiasm. A short change of scenery can help recharge my batteries and improve retention.

1. The types of academics' text that I find most challenging is specialization text like, law and various analytical specialization articles. These articles generally have many specialized words that are different from the words we use in daily life. We need to understand and look up the relevant meanings separately. Even when we are reading a short specialized text, there will involve the basic or underlying logic. So, I’ll need to learn relevant knowledge when and before I read the text. This is a very boring and dull thing for me, and I tend to fall asleep easily!

2. I will skim the text first to understand what the text is trying to convey, then I’ll look up the words I don’t understand and trying to mark the key point. Then I will use AI tools, like Chat GPT to help me reorganize the text content and extract the key point. Then I will read the text in detail by use the information and AI tools I have search for.

3. The strategics I use to understand and retain information  from academics text is I’ll use i-think map to do notes .I’ll label and classify the text and make unique mark to help me remember the text. After this, I’ll try to teach others (it could be my doll) to know quickly where am I stuck and I don’t understand. I’ll go directly to practice questions and learn from mistakes.

The academic texts I found most challenging as student is research articles because they use complicated language and a lot of technical words. They also include detailed methods and data that can be confusing, especially if students don’t know much about the topic. These articles often have charts, graphs, and statistics that are tricky to understand. Many students struggle to analyze the information, judge how good the study is, or explain the ideas clearly, which makes research articles one of the hardest types of academic texts to read.

Reading complex academic material can be easier if you take it step by step. First, I’m start by skim the text to look at headings, summaries, and key words to get an idea of what it’s about. Then, break it into smaller sections and focus on one part at a time. I also take notes while reading, highlight important points, and write down any questions. When comes across unfamiliar words , I take time to look them up on google. If something is hard to understand,i’m gonna reread it again it makes more sense the second time.

The strategies I used to understand and retain information from academic texts is by summarize each section in my own words and connect new ideas to what I already know . Reviewing my notes regularly and read in a quiet space to stay focused. Talking about the material with others can also help me understand it better. Most importantly, be patient and give myself time to process the information.

1. I think reports are the most challenging type of text. This is because of their strict format and reliance on facts. All content must be supported by evidence such as data or research. Additionally, it takes time to gather data and analyze information and there is no room for personal opinions.

2. First, I will read the text as a whole (skim and scan). This way, I can see the structure of the text such as the title. It helps me get an overall idea and I will look for keywords related to my task.

Secondly, I will break it into smaller sections. I will divide the text into smaller parts, like one paragraph at a time. After reading one section, I will try to summarize what I understand in my own words.

Third, I use a dictionary or other resources for further understanding. If there are difficult words or terms, I will look up their meanings in a dictionary or on Google.

Lastly, I use summary notes or mind maps. I will write down important points such as meanings and examples to make it easier to understand. I also use mind maps to connect the main ideas in the text.

3. First, I highlight important information in the text such as keywords, meanings, and key facts. This helps me focus on important information and not miss the main ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
1) For me, the most challenging academic texts that i found was report. It is because it has to bound to its own format. Besides, reports often involve quantitative or qualitative data that must be analyzed accurately, which can require advanced skills in statistical methods or research techniques.

2) In order to approach reading complex report materials effectively, it is essential to begin by previewing the report’s structure to understand its key sections, such as the introduction, methodology, results, and conclusion. Additionally, I will highlights all the part that i not really understood and find the answer through Internet network or friends & teachers.

3) To understand and retain information from complex materials, it's crucial to adopt active reading strategies that engage both comprehension and memory. Previewing the text to identify its structure and key points, which helps me to form an outline about what the report try to bring out for me. Last but not least, I will use the way that my teacher kept on reminding me, which is mind map. Mind map helps me to list down all the main point of the report and it allows me to revise the report by just scanning the mind map instead of reading the report again.

• I find research articles and textbooks the hardest because they use a lot of technical words and are usually very long. Sometimes, it’s hard to figure out the main idea or understand the examples.

• I first skim through to see the headings and get a quick idea of what it’s about. Then, I read slowly, one part at a time, and take notes. If I don’t understand something, I look it up or ask for help.

• I highlight important points, write short summaries, and sometimes draw diagrams to make things clearer. I also try to explain what I’ve learned to a friend or read my notes again later to remember better.

•In my opinion, I find reports to be the most challenging academic texts for me to read because of the use of terminology specific to the field. Reports also include stuff like graphs and tables, which makes it harder overall to understand the text without being in the specified field.

•The first thing I do when reading complex academic material is to skim the text. This allows me to get an overall idea of what the text wants to get across. After that, I do a more thorough reading and underline words or terms I don't understand so that I can look them up later.

•The strategies that I use are repetitive reading and writing down notes. Repetitively reading the text helps me retain the information, in the short and long term. On the other hand, writing down notes helps me to understand the material far more easily by summarising the text in easier language and in my own words
