In Part 4 of First Certificate Paper 1 Reading you have several short texts and fifteen questions to answer. You should read the questions first and then scan, or look very quickly through, the texts to find the answer to each question. In this lesson you practise this type of exercise. You need to recognise when the information is given using different words and eliminate wrong choices. You need to read the texts quickly, without worrying about words you don't know, as you don't have time to read each text thoroughly. |
