Re: IELTS Reading Practice
Hey the IELTS, the International English Language Testing System, is designed to assess the language ability of candidates who need to study or work where English is the language of communication. IELTS is jointly managed by the University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations (Cambridge ESOL), British Council and IDP: IELTS Australia. IELTS conforms to the highest international standards of language assessment. IELTS Academic Reading practice tests The Academic Reading test is 60 minutes long. There are 3 sections. The total text length is 2,150-2,750 words. Each section contains one long text. Texts are authentic and are taken from books, journals, magazines and newspapers. They have been written for a non-specialist audience and are on academic topics of general interest. Texts are appropriate, and accessible, to test-takers entering undergraduate or postgraduate courses, or seeking professional registration. Texts range from descriptive and factual to the discursive and analytical. Texts may contain non-verbal materials, such as diagrams, graphs or illustrations. If texts contain technical terms, a simple glossary is provided. Some Tips for the paper Make sure you answer the questions asked. It might help to read the questions before you Read the passage. Manage your time. Do not spend too much time on a question you find difficult. Answer the others and then come back to it. Look at visuals and subtitles to get a general idea of what the passage is about. Identify the topic sentence in each paragraph. This will give you a clue to the answers. Use reading strategies such as skimming and scanning to help you find the answers. Don’t worry if you do not know the meaning of every single word in the text. Try to guess the meaning of the words you don't know from the context. Correct grammar and spelling are important. Make sure you go through your answers to check if they are relevant to the questions asked and if the language used is correct. |
