In Reading Part 2 you have to match five people to eight different texts. It sounds simple but quite difficult as
- Time is limited: you have only 6 ½ minutes.
- There are many synonyms and paraphrasing to distract you.
However, remember, synonyms and paraphrasing are also keys for you to look for.
Noted:
There are usually three things that each person is looking for in their preferred place. You have to identify all the three things in the text that you want to match.
HOW TO DO THE TEST
Step 1: Read, underline and analyse what the people want
Read the first text, underline and analyse what the person wants.
Scan the text of places to find keys words that match his/ her need.
Then, find other two needs in the text.
Step 2: match the people and the place
If you can’t find the other two needs in the text above, pass it, scan the next text of places.
If you can find the other two needs, you have three things alike, you can match them now. Remember, it must be a perfect match of all three things.
Step 3: Repeat step 1 for the next person’s text.
