<span class='text_page_counter'>(3)</span> FOCUS: This part has a wide range of focus; it is possible for questions to be asked in relation to detail, opinion, gist, attitude, tone, purpose, main idea, meaning from context, text organization, comparison, reference, exemplification etc..

<span class='text_page_counter'>(4)</span> How many ways to do this task?.

<span class='text_page_counter'>(5)</span> 1 Always look at the text before looking at the questions. Read the text for gist ( overall or general understanding ) first, and then turn to the questions. Why? Because three of the four options for each question are wrong and this is too much information to absorb at once. After you have read the text for gist, read the first question. Once you are satisfied you understand it, skim through the text until you find the section to which the question relates, then read this section carefully. Do not assume that if you spot a word or phrase in the text that is the same as one of the answer options, the text answer option must be the right one ; you need to check that the meaning of the option is reflected in the text, not that the words are the same in both. Words from the text will often be paraphrased in the multiple choice options..

<span class='text_page_counter'>(6)</span> METHOD Read the passage for gist. Read the first question. Scan the passage to locate the section with the answer (or skim if it harder to locate ). Read this section carefully. Select the option that most closely reflects the information in the text. Move to question 2, 3 etc..
