IELTS READING

Week 9- Community Spirit

EXPLANATION

• A set of 3 to 6 statements.
• Match the information in each statement to matching information in a paragraph in the reading text.
The type of information included in the statements can vary widely. You could, for example, be asked to
match:
    facts
    descriptions
    opinions
    predictions
 definitions
 explanations
 reasons
 challenges

 TIPS
1)  The answers will not come in the same order in the text as the order of the list of statements.

2)  Some paragraphs may not contain an answer.

3)  A paragraph could contain more than one answer.

4)  The answer will not necessarily be in the main idea of a paragraph as in ‘matching headings’ questions.
In ‘matching information’ questions, you will be looking for specific information. Some students confuse
these two types of question so be sure that you know which you are answering.

5)   Expect lots of synonyms. Be particularly aware of information that can be represented in words and
figures. For example,
     ½  – a half
     15º – fifteen degrees
     69% – sixty-nine per cent

7)  You’ll find the matching information in a phrase or whole sentence, not in an individual word.

8)  Search for the easiest information to match first. This will usually be in a statement that contains key words that
are easy to find in the text such as names, numbers, places and dates. At least pick up the easiest marks rather
than wasting lots of time on a difficult question.
