摘要
Reading is a process of negotiation and interaction between readers and writers. Critical Reading of a text is achieved chiefly by figuring out the attitudes, viewpoints, and ideology of the writer, also termed as evaluative resources in Appraisal Theory. This paper carries out an appraisal research into a reading passage taken from TEM-8 paper in hope of helping English majors to cultivate their Critical Reading ability by offering them a practical and implementable reading model.
