Reading: Exercise 3 (Note-taking)

Exercise 3 of Paper 1 is a reading task, where a short passage is given and you are
asked to make notes on it under the headings given. This is again, an easy enough task
but you need to be careful to ensure that you’re writing the correct points.

Let’s dive straight into it.

 Read the headings


First, reading the headings given in the question will be the best course of action. It
will tell you what information you need to find from the passage and copy into your
answer.

I
have colour-coded the headings with their corresponding  points from the passage
below
 Read the passage.
As you go underline the points that you can write down under each heading.
Answers could be found anywhere, but usually goes in a chronological order.

 Write down the points under each heading.



 You don’t have to write in full sentences

 You can copy the text as it is from the passage

 No marks will be deducted for spelling/punctuation/grammar errors

 You should only write one point per line given. Thus, all points that
you could write do not have to be written. In the example above, for heading
one I have marked three points, but there are only two line, so write any of the
two.
