Section 2: Getting ready to read
You should now be familiar with IELTS General Training Reading Test, Section 2:
- text and question types
- reading skills, such as:
- guessing vocabulary from context
- finding main ideas
- deciding between main ideas and details.
You should also remember the skills you learnt in Section 1: skimming and scanning.
Before you practise Section 2 texts, remember how to approach each text and question set. Remember these steps for getting ready to read all IELTS reading texts.
Step 1 Survey the text quickly - title, subheadings etc. Skim the text for its
organisation, read the introduction and first lines of each paragraph, read
the conclusion. Ask yourself: what is the main message of this text?
Step 2 Skim the instructions and questions. Are you familiar with the question type?
Step 3 Read the text again. Keep in mind the difference between main ideas and
details. Use the context to help you with vocabulary.
Step 4 Answer the questions.
Optional: transfer your answers onto the answer sheet immediately. Check spelling and grammatical accuracy as you go.
