Reading UNIT 7
How to approach the task
Take some time to read the rubric to this task carefully, so that you
understand the difference between a 'NO' answer and a 'NOT GIVEN' answer.
If you write 'NO' as your answer, you are saying that the claim expressed in
the question is the opposite of the view presented in the passage. This is quite
different from a 'NOT GIVEN' answer which says that you can find nothing in
the passage about this idea.
Read each statement carefully, noting the key words and making sure you
understand what is meant by each of them.
Then skim through the article to see if you can locate a similar or opposite
idea.
Look at the example. The key words are
novelists, concern, difficulties, other
artists. The statement is a paraphrase of the last sentence in the first
paragraph and parts of the first sentence in the next paragraph.
Now complete the exercise.
