SUGGESTED APPROACH AND HINTS

You are given a text followed by seven or eight four-opinion multiple choice questions. The questions tests detailed and general understanding.

6 QUESTIONS

• Read the text carefully and slowly; you may need to read it , or parts of it twice.
• Four possible answers are given and it is important to remember that three of them are wrong. You need therefore to understand the text before looking at the questions and the four choices. If you don’t, you may misread the text because you have three wrong pieces of information in you head.
• Look at the question only and try to answer it without looking at given alternatives. Look back to the text and underline the part which the question refers to. Look for phrases in the text with similar meaning to the words in the multiple choice answers.
• Look at the choices and find the answer the closest to your answer. You either choose the answer that you think is right or eliminate the ones you know are wrong.
• Decide on the style of the text / paragraph in questions which ask you about the writer’s purpose. If the purpose is to entertain , the text is written in less formal style, if it is to inform / warn / analyse, it is more of a formal style with factual information and statistics.
• Be careful not to introduce your ideas or opinions - find exact place in the text where you can find the answer.
• When decided analyse alternatives why they are wrong.
