IELTS practice with audios and ebooks.
*IELTS READING*
There are 3 major challenges in the Reading section which are:
1. How to match Headings
2. Distinguishing between *FALSE* and *Not Given*
3. How to locate answers in a passage fast because of time.
MATCHING HEADINGS
Here some headings look like the answer but they are not. If a Heading has a word that has nothing to do with a particular paragraph that heading is not the answer.
For instance:
We have a heading
NUTRITION & COOKING
Then a paragraph talks about Nutrition but doesn't say anything about COOKING then *Nutrition and cooking* cannot be it's Heading, in this case you look for a Heading that is related to *Nutrition*
Also, a Heading cannot be chosen twice since there are always more Headings than Paragraphs.
Another challenge in Matching Headings is when a Heading looks like the answer to say Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 3. In this case read the two paragraphs very well to know which of them talks about that Heading more.
*TRUE, FALSE, and NOT GIVEN*
You declare a statement as *True* if it is in line with the information in the passage, declare it as *False* if the statement is a contradiction to the passage, that is opposite of what the passage says, and declare as *Not Given* if the passage says nothing about that statement.
*Illustration*
If the passage says fowls lay eggs and a statement says fowls do not lay eggs, this statement is *False* but if the passage did not tell us whether fowls lay eggs or not then this statement is *Not Given*
*Locating answers in a passage*
To locate answers from a passage use the keywords in the question and start searching from *Paragraph 1* if you find the keywords anywhere read from full stop before keywords to full stop after keywords. When you find an answer to *question 1* search for the answer to *question 2* slightly beneath and you keep going down searching for answers, only go up if you can't find the answer on your way down.
