Source text

Okay, so when you read something like a book or an article, that is called the source text. It's like a recipe for making a cake - you need to follow the steps in the recipe to make the cake.

The source text is like a recipe for understanding what the author is trying to say. You need to read it carefully, understand what it's telling you, and think about what it means.

Just like how you need to measure out the right amount of sugar or flour to make your cake, you need to pay attention to the words and sentences in the source text to understand what it's saying.

So, when someone talks about a source text, they are referring to the original piece of writing that they are reading and trying to understand. It's an important part of learning and understanding new information.
