Summerizing is the key - Reading Part 6 / Writing part 2 Email

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening
Time to get back to work. There's a lot to do and the exam date gets closer eveyday. By popular request today we will focus primarily on Reading Part 6. 
So what do we need to do in Part 6?
In this part you have to answer 6 questions and you have the option of 7 sentences to use.

Tips
  • Always read the title of the text, this gives you the overall idea of what you're about to read.
  • Read the whole text before looking at the optional sentences.
  • Summerize each paragraph that has a missing sentence, into a few key words. This will help you locate and match the paragraphs contect to the sentences.
  • Now you can read all the sentences carefully before you start to match them to the paragraphs.
  • Look for the logical clues. These can include, time phrases, names and pronouns, contrast words, verb tenses, etc.


Take a look below for a further explantion of how to find the clues.
