Do reading tests without a time limit
As said before, IELTS reading is a vocabulary test.
When studying, make sure you learn
some new vocabulary and collocation (words that usually come together) from each
practice test that you do. Use
a dictionary, and don't worry about the time.
Almost all academic reading tests contain difficult but useful words like "corpus" (a
collection of written or spoken texts) and "lexicographical" (related to writing
dictionaries). Here are some more words from academic texts that you can look up in a
dictionary:
incorporate (e.g. they are incorporating spoken English into their data)
verbal / non-verbal (e.g.
a verbal warning, non-verbal communication)
portrayal (e.g. the portrayal of feelings)
convey (e.g. to convey feelings, convey a message)
an initiative (e.g. a Government initiative)
Exercise 6: Finding and understanding
Are the statements below True, False or Not Given according to the passage?
Circle T,
F or NG.
