TRANSCRIPT

Hello. My name is Emma, and in todays video, we are going to talk about the reading module of the IELTS. Im going to tell you some of my top IELTS reading tips. So lets get started.

During the reading module of the IELTS, there will be three passages that you read, and for each passage, there are a bunch of questions you have to answer. The first tip I have for you is: dont spend too much time reading the passages. What happens to a lot of students is they read word-for-word everything. They see a word they dont know, they keep trying to understand the meaning. You dont have to understand everything to understand the passage. If you dont know a word, thats fine.

The better thing to do than to slowly read is to use skills such as skimming which means you quickly read for the main idea or scanning, meaning you look for key words or you look for specific detail. A lot of students, what they do for the IELTS is they will actually read the questions first, and then they will read the passage. And that way, they... They know what theyre looking for. You dont have to do this; its one technique. Some students find this a lot easier, other students like to read the passage first and then answer the questions. I recommend trying both out. First do the reading, then the questions, then try to read the questions first and read the passage and see what you like better, what youre more comfortable doing.

So the key thing here is: dont read slowly. Its a timed test, you have three parts you have to get through, 40 questions; its very important that you read quickly. You can start practicing reading quickly also. There are a number of resources out there where you can actually start practicing. And time yourself when you practice, make sure youre not going over time.

Number two, similar to number one, my tip is: dont spend too long on each question. Some of the questions are difficult-theyre possible, you can do well on them-but some of them, you might be reading and you might think: "Oh, I dont know what the answer is," and you might look at it, and think, and try, and try, and try. Well, the problem is if you spend too much time on a question, there are 40 questions and the one hour limit for the test, it goes by very quickly. So you can spend too much time on each question. So what I recommend is read a question, try to figure out the answer. If you dont know it, you can put a star beside it and come back after. Dont spend too long on any question. You can also take a guess, move on, and come back later.

My third tip: spend less time on earlier questions. For the reading module, the... Like I said, there are three passages. The first passage is the easiest, then the second passage, and then the third question. If you spend all your time on the first passage, youre not going to have time to do the second and the third. And, like I said, the first one is easier. So a good idea is to spend less time on the first passage, maybe about 17 minutes, then the second passage maybe spend about 20 minutes, and the third passage maybe 23 minutes. You dont have to follow this exactly, but the main idea is spend less time on part one, more time on part three because part three is harder.

My fourth point is: make sure you have enough time to transfer your answers. They will have an answer sheet and youre supposed to write your answers on it. Its very important to leave yourself time to transfer your answers from your test paper to the answer sheet. A lot of students, they work through the booklet and then they realize theres no time to transfer their answers, so make sure you leave time for this.
