📰 IELTS General Training Reading Tips: Section 1, 2 and 3 Practice

This IELTS General Training Reading lesson is for adult candidates at band 5.5 to 7.0 who find that GT Reading is rarely explained in detail. It sets out the structure of the test: Section 1 with short everyday texts, Section 2 with two workplace texts, Section 3 with one longer general-interest passage, 40 questions in 60 minutes, and why GT needs more correct answers than Academic for the same band. Each section gets a strategy for its typical question types and a 15/18/27-minute time plan. You then work through original IELTS GT reading practice texts: a sports centre notice and a rental advert, a flexible-working policy and a 500-word passage on repair cafés, with 24 interactive questions and answer keys that show the location and the paraphrase. A vocabulary table of everyday and workplace words, a common-mistakes table, a speaking card on text purpose and a ten-question quiz complete the lesson.
