Gapped reading

In order to do this type of task well you must understand the gist, or main ideas, of each paragraph. These tips will help you do this task well.

 

• First read all of the headings.
• Then read the paragraphs carefully and match the ones you are sure about.
• If you are not sure about one, leave it and move on to the next one. You may be able to match up ones you are not sure about by elimination at the end.
• Be careful with extra options, e.g. six headings to match with four paragraphs. There will be two headings you don’t need.
