Section B

Reading Skills

Even from the title of the text we can see that it is about Martin Luther King, the most important leader of the civil rights movement in the United States.

The numbers are mainly dates and some statistics.

Altogether, there are four full quotes in the text: one from Thoreau, an American writer; one from Gunnar Jahn of the Norwegian Nobel Committee; and two from Martin Luther King himself.

The title of the text indicates that the whole piece is going to be informational. The language of the first paragraph testifies this. It has no technical terms. Frequently seen in the text are dates, which are associated with the activities of Martin Luther King. The language is very formal as it has rather long sentences. This also points to the fact that the writer of the text intends to inform readers of the most famous civil rights movement leader—Martin Luther King.
