Social Survival<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/ielts-reading-section\/\">IELTS Reading section<\/a> is made up of 3 tasks and 40 questions. The tasks become progressively harder, so Task 3 is the most challenging. You\u2019ll have 1 hour to complete the Reading paper so approximately 20 minutes on each exercise. <strong>Make sure you keep an eye on the time<\/strong>, as it\u2019s very easy to spend too long on Exercise 1 and find yourself with 10 minutes to finish the third task!<\/p>\n<p>Exercise 1 has 2 or 3 short texts and it\u2019s usually related to <strong>typical everyday life in an English-speaking country. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Unlike the Listening section where you\u2019re given 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet, for the Reading paper <strong>you must finish everything within the 60 minutes<\/strong>. If you want to take notes on the question paper you can, but remember you\u2019ll need to write the answers on the answer sheet! Pay special attention to the instructions! If the instructions say \u201cno more than two words\u201d and you write three words, your answer will automatically be marked wrong!<\/p>\n<p><strong>To get a good result in IELTS, preparation is fundamental<\/strong>! So, let\u2019s take a closer look at some sample questions.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-53678 size-recent-posts\" src=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/person-hiding-behind-a-pile-of-books-337x212.jpg\" alt=\"person hiding behind a pile of books\" width=\"337\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/person-hiding-behind-a-pile-of-books-320x202.jpg 320w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/person-hiding-behind-a-pile-of-books-337x212.jpg 337w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 337px) 100vw, 337px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong><a id=\"post-53672-_cz7i74fdg2rg\"><\/a>Social Survival: Sample Exercise #1<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019re going to go into detail for two sample texts with some of their questions.<\/p>\n<p>In this extract, you can see the subject is travel and tourism &#8211; one of IELTS\u2019 favourite topics!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Come to Samui Island<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Whether you&rsquo;re looking to taste world-class cuisine, wanting to enjoy the nightlife or planning to improve your yoga technique, the island of Koh Samui has what you\u2019re looking for, but the island is best enjoyed by those who are looking to chill out and do nothing at all!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Hot sun, cool breezes, warm sand and the gentle lapping of waves on the shore are typical descriptions of the beaches in Samui. Each beach has its own personality.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Go to Fisherman\u2019s village for cocktails and to listen to live music. Chaweng Beach is for people-watching and a place to get ready for the nightlife. Mae Nam Beach is for peace and quiet and is the perfect place for dozing off.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Remember, when you\u2019re reading passages, you don\u2019t need to understand every word. You need to understand enough to answer the questions!<\/p>\n<p>For this particular text, you have the following instructions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Choose the best answer from four alternatives (A, B, C or D), or the best two answers from five alternatives (A, B, C, D or E), or the best three answers from seven alternatives (A, B, C, D, E, F or G).<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Before you start answering, make sure that you\u2019re clear on the instructions &#8211; imagine you mistakenly write 1 answer for the questions related to this text! You\u2019d lose 10 points immediately! That\u2019s a quarter of your potential score!<\/p>\n<p>So for the following question, you\u2019d need to choose 1 answer only, as we have four alternatives:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>According to the article, what is the top reason to go to Samui island?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li><em>The food<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Yoga classes<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The nightlife<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Relaxation<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Another sample question is the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>What activities does the article say can be done on the different beaches?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li><em>Drinking alcohol<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Shopping<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Dancing<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Yoga classes<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Sleeping<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Here you need to find two answers as we have five options. Remember, <strong>when you\u2019re looking for the answers, you must think about synonyms and rephrasing.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For example, what phrasal verb means to sleep? Can you find a word related to alcohol? Once you\u2019ve found your answers, move onto the next question!<\/p>\n<h4>Another popular IELTS subject is the weather<\/h4>\n<p>You will often find this subject in the Speaking section, but also in the Reading section of the test!<\/p>\n<p><em>The best time to visit Samui Island to avoid clouds and get the best weather is in the dry season which starts in December and continues for about 2 months. It\u2019s a popular time as there shouldn\u2019t be much rain and although hot and sunny, it won\u2019t be unbearable. Whilst it\u2019s not likely to rain, if it does start to come down, it\u2019s best to dive for cover immediately as tropical rain comes down hard and fast!<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>What kind of weather should you expect at the start of the year?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li><em>Lots of rain<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Clouds<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Sunny<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Unbearable heat<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Before the test, you should be familiar with all the words related to weather &#8211; sunny, cloudy, foggy and so on. An easy way to make a mistake in IELTS is to see a word in a question, find the word in the text and rush to an answer. Here you have \u2018unbearable\u2019 and \u2018sunny\u2019 very close to each other in the text, but does it mean \u2018unbearable heat\u2019?<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s have a look at another sample exercise!<\/p>\n<h3><strong><a id=\"post-53672-_238psiwwmuqe\"><\/a>Social Survival: Sample Exercise #2<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>One of the most challenging question types in the Reading section is yes &#8211; no &#8211; not given, as you can see below:<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-53673\" src=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-91.png\" alt=\"instructions for an exam question\" width=\"760\" height=\"163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-91-200x43.png 200w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-91-300x64.png 300w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-91-400x86.png 400w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-91-600x129.png 600w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-91.png 754w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>People often find the difference between \u2018no\u2019 and \u2018not given\u2019 quite confusing. You must keep in mind that \u2018not given\u2019 means that the writer doesn\u2019t speak about this specific point. Make sure you understand exactly what the question is asking and then see if the writer agrees, disagrees, or doesn\u2019t say. Let\u2019s have a look at an example.<\/p>\n<p><em>Nutter Addy will play her place in the quarter-finals in Master Chef<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This Friday night, on ITV, Nutter Addy will be cooking to win her place in the quarter-finals of Master Chef.<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Should we say \u00ab\u00a0hello Addy\u00a0\u00bb or \u00ab\u00a0hello Nutter\u00a0\u00bb?<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Actually, I don&rsquo;t really like my first name so when I grew up, my parents started calling me Didi. Today, all my relatives call me that. Only my mummy still uses Nutter when she&rsquo;s angry with me!<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As you can see, the extract is from an interview with Nutter Addy, a competitor on Master Chef. Here is the question:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Nutter Addy\u2019s mother always calls her Nutter.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li><em>Yes<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>No<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Not given<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>To be able to answer this question, you need to know that \u2018mummy\u2019 means \u2018mother\u2019, but also pay close attention to the word \u2018always\u2019 in the question.<strong> \u2018Easy\u2019 IELTS questions are often more difficult than they seem<\/strong> and it\u2019s easy to make a mistake if you\u2019re not careful!<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s have a look at another part of the text with a sample question.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Did you already have a particular dish you liked to cook back then?<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>I never really cooked, but I remember after the piano course at school, I came home with a friend and made some omelets. It was later that I started doing more elaborate things. My first real elaborate dish was a fish with puff pastry that I cooked at home.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Nutter Addy\u2019s first elaborate dish was cooked in her friend\u2019s kitchen.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li><em>Yes<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>No<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Not given<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Again, <strong>you need to identify the key words in the question<\/strong>! One way to do this is to rephrase the question &#8211; when did Nutter Addy first make an elaborate meal? Once you find the answer to this, the question is much easier.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s look at a final extract:<\/p>\n<p><em>How did you handle the cameras and pressure?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>One day, ITV came to the restaurant to shoot my working environment. When the crew left, I had been under so much pressure all day that I cried.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The entire staff had been working hard to make the restaurant look good. I knew that they did it all for me and it made me realize that my life was going to change. The first shoot didn&rsquo;t go very well because I was under a lot of stress. Luckily, the crews are very good at putting the candidates at ease.<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Facing the cameras, Nutter Addy was very stressed at the beginning.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li><em>Yes<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>No<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Not given<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Again, in order to answer the question you need to think of rephrasing it &#8211; what\u2019s another way of saying \u201cstressed\u201d? Once you find this information, it\u2019s much easier to find the answer.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, although Exercise 1 is \u2018the easiest\u2019 part of the General IELTS Reading paper, you still need to prepare for it! <strong>On GlobalExam\u2019s e-learning platform you can find the complete texts for these two samples, as well as the answers and explanations. <\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>GlobalExam: The Online Solution for Top Preparation<\/h2>\n<p>As you can see, the IELTS General Reading paper requires some preparation and that\u2019s where GlobalExam can help!
