Hints and tips for Reading Part 1

What you have to do. Read six short texts (the first one is an

example).

. Read the multiple-choice questions thatgo with each text.

. Choose your answer from the threeoptions, A, B, C.

How to approach ito First read the text carefully. Where might

you see it? Why was it written?. The style or format of the text (e.g. a

postcard) may help you to understandits purpose.

. Read all three options and compare themwith the text before choosingyour answer.

o Reread your answer and the text again tomake sure they express the same idea.

How to prepare yourselfo The texts can be notices, signs,

messages, postcards or instructions. Tryto look at as many examples as you canof this type of text. (You can find some inlnsight into PET pages 10-1 1 andObjective PETpages 102-103, bothpublished by Cambridge University press.)

. lf possible, follow your own interests -music, sport, fashion, films, whatever theyare - by looking at websites andmagazines in English.
