Slide 1 - Slide

Reading: Recap
  • Part 1 (5) = Multiple-choice (1 text)
  • Part 2 (6) = Cross-text multiple matching (4 shorter texts)

Part 5: Multiple-choice
  • A text followed by six 4-option multiple-choice questions (A,B,C,D)
  • Focus: Detail, opinion, attitude, tone, purpose, main idea, implication, text organisation features (exemplification, comparison, reference).
  • Tests detailed understanding, including opinions and attitudes expressed; the ability to distinguish between apparently similar viewpoints, outcomes or reasons.
  • The final question may depend on interpretation of the text as a whole, e.g. the writer’s purpose, attitude or opinion.

Part 5: Multiple-choice 
Test technique
  • Don’t rush: give yourself 15 minutes
  • Read the instructions, title and sub-heading
  • Read the text for gist
  • Read the questions carefully
  • Answer the questions in order
  • Look out for key words in the questions
  • Use a pen/highlighter to mark the part of the text where the answer can be found
  • Read the section more carefully
  • Look at all the options and decide which one is the best
  • Avoid simply ‘matching’ words from the question to the text
  • To check: make sure you can explain why the other options are not possible
