4. Matching information (Which paragraph contains …?)
Task Type & Format
In
this task type, candidates are required to locate specific information in the
lettered paragraphs/sections of a text, and to write
the letters of the correct
paragraphs/sections in the boxes on their answer sheet. They may be asked to
find; specific details, an example,
a reason, a description, a comparison, a
summary, an explanation. They will not necessarily
need to find information in
every paragraph/section of the text, but there may be more than one piece of
information that candidates need to locate in a given paragraph/section. When
this
is the case, they will be told that they can use any letter more than once.
This task type can be used with any text as it may test a wide range of reading
skills, from locating detail to recognising a summary or definition etc.
Task Focus
This task type assesses the candidate’s ability to scan for specific information.
Unlike Task Type 5 (Matching headings), it is concerned with specific information
rather than with the main idea.
