Practice activity 4.1
Question type matching activity (type 1: testing main idea)
For Section 3, there are different questions testing particular skills. As well as knowing the
skills, you need to understand how to do each type of question. How should you approach
each text and question set? Look at these steps. Main ideas are tested mainly through
paragraph heading matching questions. One type contains more headings than sections,
and each paragraph needs a heading. What do you need to do?
- Step 1 Quickly survey the text - look at the title, and any other clues, read the first and
last paragraph, look at the overall organisation of the text.
- Step 2 Skim the paragraphs first and locate topic sentences. Take note of key words
that seem to be related. You might be looking for synonyms, which are words
with similar meaning.
- Step 3 Scan the list of headings to find the one that seems to match the section. It is
not necessary to read every word.
Optional: transfer your answers now to the answer sheet. Check spelling and grammatical
accuracy as you go.
