English with Emma · engVid
Emma says the IELTS is one of the most difficult questions on the
reading section. She gives you some tips and strategies on how to
do well on this section. You need to say if the fact matches -- if it
's true, false , or not given '' -- if the information is not given in
the reading. You need to say if this is true, '' false '' , or not given
''. Only write `` true '' if , with your eyes , you read it , and you
see it in the fact. You must underline any key words. Then you
quickly scan for these words or synonyms. If you write `` false ''
for the fact at the bottom after the reading passage, it means you
're saying the fact is opposite. This is where they try to trick you
on the IELTS. You have to look out for words like `` all '' versus ``
some '' versus. `` often '' versus '' always ''.
'' I would underline keywords. So we 're looking at. personal
computers ''. We 're. looking at when they were. `` invented '' and
we're looking at a year. '' This is why many people have a very
difficult time on this part of the test. Although once eradicated
from Toronto -- okay , so I see the word 'Toronto' -- bed bugs have
made a comeback and are now considered one of the leading
pests in the city. This does not mean that they are the most
common. There could be something that 's more common than
them. So in this case, my answer would be `` not given ''. You can
always put a star and go back after. It 's better to spend some
time on it , just a little time , and guess if you do n't know. So that
's also a very important point.
