📖 IELTS Reading: Skimming, Scanning and the 8 Question Types

IELTS Reading is a test of speed and precision: 40 questions on three passages in 60 minutes with no transfer time. This lesson gives you a 17/20/23-minute plan, shows when to skim and when to scan, and works through the eight question types with a strategy and the main trap for each. True/False/Not Given and Yes/No/Not Given are explained with worked examples, including the single-word contradiction and the role of qualifiers. A table of ten paraphrase pairs trains you to recognise how questions reword the passage, and a short True/False/Not Given mini-test with explanations lets you check your understanding.
