    About this ebook

    This book which provides practice in answering difficult questions in the IELTS Reading Module is essential preparation for all serious students who are determined to achieve a high IELTS band score.

    Achieving a high IELTS band in Reading is not easy! Ignore books that tell you otherwise. Books on reading techniques and tips are fine but they are not adequate preparation for this important exam. There are no easy roads to success. It is a difficult job to understand the demanding Reading Questions that are set.

    You need solid practice in familiarising yourself with the types of questions, developing the skill of distinguishing key ideas from secondary details and honing the ability to guess unknown words from context. This book will give you that essential practice.

    This book is divided into two sections:

    > A series of Reading Tasks which comprise a question, a substantial piece of text and key definitions. The texts are drawn from a variety of knowledge areas to reflect the range of texts that the IELTS Reading Module presents while each question is demanding in the range of “quite difficult” to “difficult”.

    > A Feedback Section which provides detailed comments on the correct answer and goes through each incorrect answer explaining why that option is wrong. Most IELTS Reading material fails to provide adequate feedback on the answers. If students of the IELTS examination are to make real progress, it is vital that they understand why some answers are wrong in addition to spotting the correct answer.

    This book is specifically aimed at those who are serious about their IELTS exams and determined to reach their goal of going on to further academic studies or qualifying for entry to another country.

    Overview

    How this book can help increase your score

    The IELTS Reading Module: How to Answer the Difficult Questions book has been created for IELTS Exam candidates who want to achieve a high score in the Reading Paper.

    This book provides essential practice in answering comprehension questions that require detailed understanding, the skill to distinguish key ideas from secondary details and the ability to guess unknown words from context.

    Many candidates find that the texts and questions in the Reading Paper are very demanding. Firstly, the texts are drawn from different fields to which they might have had no exposure. In addition, the type of vocabulary that the texts use is of a wide range and, therefore, requires that the candidates have a very good passive vocabulary. Furthermore, the variety of question types requires that candidates have already had experience in developing sound exam techniques to cope with these diverse question types.

    This book is divided into two sections:

    > 1. A series of Reading Tasks which comprise a question, a substantial piece of text and some definitions. The texts are drawn from a variety of knowledge areas to reflect the range of texts that the IELTS Reading Module presents while each question is demanding in the range of quite difficult to difficult.

    > 2. A Feedback Section which provides detailed comments on the correct answer and goes through each incorrect answer explaining why that option is wrong. Most IELTS Reading material fails to give adequate feedback on the answers. If serious students of the IELTS examination are to make real progress, it is essential that they understand why some answers are wrong in addition to spotting the correct answer.

    Note that the level of vocabulary is, in many cases, high, thus providing excellent preparation for those who are looking to achieve high bands in their IELTS.

    Using this book

    You should systematically work your way through the texts and explore all the feedback to derive the maximum benefit from this book. Using the links you are able to switch between Reading Tasks and Feedback.
