MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

In real life, we often only read parts of texts (the parts that provide the information we're interested in). For example, if you want to know what's on TV tonight, you won't look at the programs listed in the TV listings for earlier in the day. In reading tasks in English exams, time pressure forces candidates to find information quickly so doing this helps in both real-life and exams.

WHAT IS SUGGESTED ABOUT READING TASKS IN EXAMS?

The exam rules determine which skills you need to use.

They require skills not used in normal everyday life.

They usually give you plenty of time to achieve the task.

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 reading for gist. The main reading skill employed is scanning. This involves moving very quickly over the text, ignoring unknown vocabulary and focusing solely on key words, phrases and ideas. Scanning should enable you to find specific information. Then read that part more carefully to get a full understanding.
