FCE Reading Part 7 Technique
This is the technique I teach my students to successfully pass this part of the exam:
1. Read the questions and underline the most important words.
2. Quickly skim read all the passages and write 1 or 2 relevant words next to each.
3. Read section A in more detail.
4. Read the questions again.
5. Write ‘A’ next to all the questions you think it answers.
6. Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 for each section.
7. If you’re stuck between 2 answers. Read the relevant passages again if you have time and/or make a decision. It is better to write something rather than nothing!
Watch me using this technique with a sample exam paper in the video above.
