Main title/subtitle: Subtitles are usually more important

Picture: Helps understand the title and content of the article

Introduction: The font is different from the main text, which helps to understand the title and article content and solve the problem of not knowing the words in the title.

First paragraph of the article: (first or second sentence))

Is the article divided into several parts?

The article is divided into several paragraphs

Take questions at any time and mark which paragraph the question comes from: IELTS questions are scattered and comprehensive, and the probability of a second question appearing in a paragraph where a question appears will be reduced.

There are several major topics in the article, and what types of questions are they?

How difficult are the question types, in order or out of order (fill-in-the-blank and true-false questions are easier, multiple-choice questions are average, and matching and headings questions are more difficult)

Are there full-text or partial questions?

Prejudgment: Predict what words, phrases, singular or plural need to be filled in based on the characteristics of the space.

Problem Solving: Selected options can be crossed out directly when confirmed.

Check: Put it into a sentence and read it to see if it makes sense

The corresponding article position of the entire big question: front/middle/last/whole article/paragraph

1. Review the question to see if the question stem directly gives the corresponding position of the question.

2. General positioning: Observe whether there are subtitles in the title, and you can locate them directly (the subtitles cannot overlap with the title of the article)

3. Small positioning: Determine the starting and ending position of the question through the positioning words in the first and last sentences of the title (most commonly used). Generally, only the positioning words in the first sentence can be positioned.

4. Observe other question types in the article, determine the general position of the question (IELTS question setting principle: comprehensive and scattered, if a paragraph has been tested in other questions, this paragraph will generally not be tested again), mark the position to exclude

Each space generally corresponds to a sentence in the original text

The answer must come from the original form of the original word in the original text without any form changes.

The questions are given directly in the order of the article, and occasionally they are out of order (usually the top and bottom questions are out of order)

If the option is an adjective, it is easy to be rewritten. In this case, if there is no major reading difficulty, you can use grammar, logic or common sense to predict the answer, and then go back to the original text to check. If it is difficult to understand or there are many new words, use ordinary positioning method to solve the problem.

Overall, TRUE is relatively more likely to appear.

It is a long and difficult sentence (the question or the original text), there are many test points (3 or more test points), synonym substitution is complicated, and the probability of selecting TRUE is high.

If words indicating possibility or fuzzy words appear, the probability of selecting TRUE is high.

When the test focus is unique antonyms, trending words, direct negative or indirect negative words, the probability of choosing FALSE is high.

When absolute times or phrases appear, the probability of selecting FALSE is high.

When there are test points expressing conditions, as well as adverbs of degree or frequency, pay attention to comparing them with the original text.

Some special words appear, such as since, already, ignore, neglect, etc., the probability of selecting FALSE is high.

Comparative test points appear, and the probability of choosing NG is higher

The original text contains subjective words. If the question stem corresponds to objective facts, select NG.

When the question involves sensitive content such as government, military, country, religion, finance, money, or the ratio of men to women, the probability of choosing NG is high.

NG is rarely chosen for the first question, and two NGs rarely appear in succession.

Examine the sentences corresponding to the options and the original text, as few as one sentence or as many as four sentences

In some cases, examine the meaning or author's intention of the entire paragraph.

The correct answer must reflect all the discussion subjects of the article. If there are two or more subjects, one of them is indispensable.

The correct answer should reflect the topic of the article

The correct answer is usually a general, macro statement

Wrong options usually lack the discussion body of the article (if there are two or more bodies, one of them may be missing)

Wrong options are often off topic

Error options are usually more specific and detailed statements

The wrong option may usually be a summary of a natural paragraph of the article or a specific example that appears in the article, rather than the general meaning of the entire article.

The correct answer is usually located in the last paragraph or the penultimate paragraph of the original text

The correct answer is generally a synonymous replacement of the corresponding original content.

For such questions, you must analyze the options in advance before reading the article, and mark out the positioning words and problem keywords.

Do the questions while reading the article. When you encounter the positioning word, you can compare the question with the original text and solve the problem.

If you don’t have enough time, you can strategically abandon this type of questions (if you want to score 8 points or above, solve the questions according to the above method)

Original text: The graph below shows electricity production (in terawatt hours) in France between 1980 and 2012. Modification: The line graph compares the amount of electricity produced in France using 4 different sources of power over a period of 32 years.

It is clerar that nuclear power was by far the most important means of electricity generation over the period shown.

Renewables provided the lowest amount of electricity in each year.

In 1980, thermal power stations were the main source of elcetricity in France, generating around 120 terawatt hours of power.

Nuclear and hydroelectric power stations produced just under 75 terawatt hours of electricity each, and renewables provided a gegligible amount.

Between 1980 and 2005, electricity production from nuclear power rose dramatically to a peak of 430 terawatt.

By contrast, the figure for thermal power fell to only 50 terawatt hours in 1985, and remained at this level for the rest of the period.

Hydroelectric power generation remained relatively stable, at between 50 and 80 terawatt hours, for the whole 32-year period, but renewable electricity production saw only a small rise to approximately 25 terawatt hours by 2012.

Original expression: The chart below shows global sales of the top five mobile phone brands between 2009 and 2013. New expression: The bar chart compares the number of mobile phones sold worldwide by the five most popular manufactures in the year 2009, 2011 and 2013

It is clear that Nokia sold the most mobile phones between 2009 and 2011, but Samsung became the best selling brand in 2013.

Samsung and Apple saw the biggest rises in sales over the 5-year period.

In 2009, Nokia sold close to 450 million mobile phones, which was almost double the number of handsets sold by the second most successful manufacturer, Samsung.

Over the following 4 years, however, Nokia's sales figures fell by approximately 200 million units, whereas Samsung saw sales rise by a similar amount. By 2013, Samsung had become the market leader with sales reaching 450 million units.

The other three top selling mobile phone brands between 2009 and 2013 were LG, ZTE and Apple.

In 2009, these companies sold around 125 million, 50 million and 25 million mobile handsets respectively, but Apple overtook the other two vendors in 2011.

In 2013, purchases of Apple handsets reached 150 million units, while LG saw declining sales and the figures for ZTE rose only slightly.

Original table: The charts below show household spending patterns in two countries between 1980 and 2008 Revised: The pie charts compare five cateegories of household expenditure in the UK and New Zealand in the years of 1980 and 2008.

It is noticeable that the proportion of spending on food and drink fell in both countries over the 28-year period, while spending on utility bills rose.

Also, UK residents spent a significantly larger percentage of their household budgets on leisure than their New Zealand counterparts.

In 1980, 29% of an average New Zealad household budget went on food and drink, while the equivalent figure for a UK home was 23%.

By 2008, expenditure on food and drink had fallen by 4% in New Zealand, and by a full 10% in the UK.

By contrast, both countries saw an increase in expenditure on utility bills (gas, water, etc.) for the average home, from 27% to 31% in New Zealand and from 26% to 28% in the UK.

Leisure activities accounted for the highest proportion of UK household spending in both years, but only the third highest proportion in New Zealand.

In fact, in 2008, New Zealanders spent only half as much in relative terms on recreation (17%) as UK residents (34%).

In both countries, transport costs and other costs took roughly 15% and 10% of household budgets respectively.

Original table: The table below shows statistics about the top five countries for international tourism in 2012 and 2013. After modification: The table compares the five highest ranking countries in terms of the numbers of visists and the money spent by tourists over a period of two years.

It is clear that France was the world's most popular tourist destination in the years 2012 and 2013.

However, the USA earned by far the most revenue from tourism over the same period.

In 2012, 83 million tourists visited France, and the USA was the second most visited country, with 66.7 million tourists.

Spain and China each received just under 58 million visitors, while Italy was ranked fifth with 46.4 million tourists. 2013 saw a rise of between 1 and 4 million tourist visits to each country, with the exception of China, which received 2 million fewer visitors than in the previous year.

Spending by tourists visiting the USA increased from $126.2 billion in 2012 to $139.6 billion in 2013, and these figures were well over twice as high as those for any other country.

Spain received the second highest amounts of tuorist revenue, rising from $56.3 billion to $60.r billion, followed by France, China and Italy.

Interestingly, despite falling numbers of tourists, Chinese revenue from tourism rose by $1.7 billion in 2013.

Original table: The bar chart below shows the numbers of men and women attending various evening courses at an adult education center in the year 2009. The pie chart gives information about the ages of these course participants. Modified: The bar chart compares the numbers of males and females who took four different evening classes in 2009, and the pie chart shows the age profile of these attendees.

It is clear that significantly more women than men attended evening classes at the education center. We can also see that evening courses were much more popular among older adults.

According to the bar chart, drama, painting and language courses all attracted more women than men to the education center in 2009.

Language classes had the highest number of participants overall, with 40 female and 20 male students, while painting was a poular choice among both genders, attracting 30 female and 25 male attendees.

The only course with a higher number of males was sculpture, but this course was taken by a mere 15 people in total.

Looking at the age profile pie chart, we can see that the majority of people attending evening lessons were over 40 years of age.

To be precise, 42% of them were aged 50 or more, and 26% were aged between 40 and 49.

Younger adults were in the minority, with only 11% of students aged 20 to 29, and only 5% aged under 20.

Original text: The diagrams below show how glass containers, such as bottles, are produced and recycled. Modification: The first flow diagram illustrates the process of glass container production, and the second diagram shows steps in the process of recycling used galss.

We can see that glass is made using 3 main raw materials, and that the manufacturing process consists of 4 distinct stages.

It requires five steps to turn used glass into new glass products.

At the first stage in the production of glass, sand, soda ash, limestone and other chemicals are mixed together.

Next, this mixture is heated in a glass furnace at approximately 1500℃ to produce molten glass.

The molten glass can then be shaped, by blowing, to create the end products, namely glass containers.

Glass recycling begins with the collection of used glass products.

The collected glass is sorted according to its colour, and then washed in order to remove any impurities.

At the fourth stage of recycling, the glass is crushed and melted, and the resulting molten glass can finally be molded to create new items.

Original text: The diagrams below show the exsisting ground floor plan of a house and a proposed plan for some building work. Modification: The two pictures compare the current layout of the ground floor of a house with a plan to redesign the same living space.

We can see that the new design proposal involves making a number of changes to the ground floor of the house, mainly in the central hall area.

There are no plans to change external walls or entrances.

The most noticeable change from the existing to the proposed floor plan is that there will no longer be a separate hall area when the building work has been done.

This will be achieved by removing the internal wall and door between the hall and living room, along with the current staircase and understair storage cupboard.

With no separate hall area, the proposed living room will also contain the staircase to the first floor.

To replace the current straight staircase, a new set of winding stairs will be installed in the corner of the living room.

The internal door between the hall and kitchen will also be replaced with double doors connecting the kitchen with the new living room.

Finally, the planned building work will also include the installation of some kitchen furniture.

Conversations tend to be more social questions, which are more difficult to answer. Therefore, you can delay the first two questions as much as possible, so that the last question will have less time to present to reduce stress.
