Hello asianasen !

It's hard to give advice specifically with the info given (not sure about your year level and your description of your abilities is a bit vague), so I'll just give some general advice about improving your inferring skills and info-finding.

With inferring, it's a really hard skill to pick up by yourself! My suggestion is read slowly, and after every sentence, think about what's NOT been said. So for example, if the sentence is about how xyz is true for a lot of people, what's NOT been said is that for some people, it's not true. Or if the sentence is about how a majority of people believe xyz, then what's NOT been said is that some people don't believe xyz.

In terms of picking up information as you're reading, practice summarising each paragraph, or grouping paragraphs together under a common idea. Say you're reading an article - you want to practice separating that article into individual ideas or arguments. This will help you exercise those skills where you have to gather lots of information and see the links (or differences) between everything.

I hope that's more helpful to you than the Emerald Education reply! 😉
