 Reading For Specific
Information
 Reading for specific information involves understanding what
information, or what kind of information, you’re looking for, locating it
and then reading the relevant part carefully to get a full and detailed
understanding.
 In reading tasks in English exams, time pressure forces candidates to find
information quickly so doing this helps in both real-life and exam
situations.
 After identifying the information you need, it’s helpful to determine which
part of the text it is in. Headings can help with this, as can reading for gist.
Specific use of "why"

 Furthermore, there is why which is a question word in English that is

used to form question sentences. This vocabulary means 'why' which

is used to get an explanation or reason for something .

specific use of "which“

 Which is used to describe specifically only for nouns.

A. The flowers that grow in this garden are very charming

The flowers that grow in this garden are very fabulous

B. The letter that came in yesterday was from John.

The letter that came yesterday was from John

In both instances of the sentence. Flowers and letters are objects. Therefore, we

use which as "the"

 Specific use of “How”

 How or how, this element requires the author to describe how

the event happened. The use of this element of how will help
the reader understand the storyline and can support the
statement of why elements that have been described before.

 Suppose for the same news, then the element of how will
explain how the process of killing U.S. citizens and how the
U.S. citizen was killed.
 True/False/Not Given Question Format

 If the fact that you are given matches the reading,

then it is TRUE.
 If the fact that you are given contradicts the
information in the reading in some way, then it is
FALSE.
 If the fact that you are given is not mentioned in
the reading, then it is NOT GIVEN.
 Answering Techniquez
 1. Read the fact slowly to make sure that you fully understand what it

says.

 2. Then turn the statement into a question.

 3. Next, use your scanning and skimming skills to find the

information in the reading passage. 

 4. When you think you have found the answer, read the text carefully

to determine if you think it is true/false/or not given. If the answer to

the question you formed is ‘yes’, then it is true.  If your answer is

‘no’, then it is false.  If you can’t answer the question, then the answer

is not given.
 5. If you find you are spending a long time
looking for the answer to one question, then
probably the information is not given, and that
will be your answer.
 6. Look out for words that qualify the sentence or
make the sentence restrictive in some way, for
example adjectives like ‘only’, ‘little’, ‘all’,
‘some’, ‘always’, ‘never’, ‘sometimes’ etc.,  as
some questions will alter just that one word in the
statement.
