A new type of IELTS MCQ's in the reading exam?
Manage episode 348352901 series 2666548
Hey everyone. IELTS reading MCQs have always been one of the most difficult to tackle in IELTS. That is because they can either test your understanding of the information given in the passage of your understanding of the writer's purpose or aim.
Until now, 90% of questions have focussed on the former, but I noticed that in Cambridge IELTS Academic 17, almost ALL of the questions asked you to analyse what the writer was doing. This is obviously a massive change and one that could be challenging for many students.
Today, Nick and I look at the MCQ's from Test 1, Passage 3 To Catch a King to show you how you should approach this type of task.
This is an interactive lesson, so we recommend that you follow along while reading the passages on this link: https://blog.myieltsclassroom.com/ielts-reading-mcqs/
In the lesson we will
- explain how you can look for the writer's "main purpose"
- outline the importance of summary words
- show you how to understand why a reader has included particular examples
- plus, you should learn the value of reading the whole paragraph before attempting these questions
