"...invaluable ... you will not be disappointed." -Martin Sketchley, ELT Experiences "...tremendously useful for students." -David Wills, TED-IELTS "A versatile book that can be used by a wide range of teachers and learners alike." -Jim Fuller, Sponge ELT Each of the 14 units in this book introduces a different reading task that you may encounter during the IELTS Academic Reading test: Matching headings True / False / Yes / No / Not Given Matching information Summary completion Sentence completion Multiple choice Matching features Choosing a title Categorisation/classification Matching sentence endings Table completion Flowchart completion Diagram completion Short answer questions Each unit contains three two-page sections: 1. Think and prepare starts with some questions to get you thinking about the unit topic, and introduces some challenging words and phrases that will appear in the practice activities that follow. 2. Practise introduces a new reading task for you to practise the task type using a text that is shorter than what will feature in the exam. It starts with some strategies and tips for how to approach each task, for you to try these strategies out during the activities then reflect on what went well, what you learned and what you will need to do to improve. 3. Put it to the test includes a text that is designed to replicate an IELTS Reading test task. There is no support here - it's just you, the text and the questions! Appendices: Task info and tips: Definitions of each task type, and tips on how to approach the task. Extra activities: Further practice in applying different task types to the units' texts. Answers: Comprehensive answers and guidance for each activity. Glossary and Index: Definitions of all high-level vocabulary used.
