I took my IELTS test this month. I got Band 7 and above in all sections except Reading which was 6.5. I plan to take it again by November ending or December. This will help me prepare for the reading section. Your videos are very helpful. Thank you.
Congratulations, Olanike. That's a great result. A little more work and you should be able to increase your scores. I'm pleased that my videos are helping you.
I am confused with question #3. Could anyone shed some light on this? The last paragraph shows some evidence about presence of pet improving mental health issues of children at school. "He said that he’d been surprised at the idea at first but saw for himself that many children found the experience really uplifting, particularly those that have different ways of expressing themselves and coming out of themselves." Shouldn't the answer be 'TRUE'?
‘Not Given’ answers can be very challenging so I understand your confusion. Here is the explanation from the video: “It seems to match the information in the sentence but there is another very important keyword in the statement that needs to be considered - ‘evidence’. This means proof of the idea being suggested. While the ideas match, there is no direct evidence stated, so the answer is NOT GIVEN.” I recommend reading my full explanation of this answer in the text version of this lesson on my website. You’ll find it here: www.ieltsjacky.com/ielts-reading-true-false-not-given.html. There’s also a link to the page in the notes below this video. Scroll down to ‘Notes on how I answered the questions' and go on down to question 3. I hope this helps with your understanding.

Are these authentic practice tests? I have never come across one that didn't have at least one of each answer type - True, False, Not Given. I have been informed by an ex-examiner that this is the case in the real exam.
I’m confused as to how these qualifying words and verbs you mentioned in the video can do for the answer option?? change the statement to F or NG? I usually find them in the paragraph or in the Question statement ????!!!!!! this point always struggles me. kindly jacky, HELP ME @IELTS JACKY
While doing T/F/NG questions do we have to skim the paragraph first or we have to just straightaway jump to the questions and mark keywords without even looking at the paragraph for once...I am a GT student
Hi Lakshay, Jump straight to the questions and mark keywords. Here’s a summary of my strategy for T/F/NG questions: # 1 Read the statements and try to understand the meaning of each. Do this before reading the text. # 2 Think about possible synonyms that might appear in the text and note any qualifying words in the statements such as, all, some, always, often. This will make your brain alerts for them when you scan the text. # 3 Underline keywords. You won’t necessarily find the exact words in the text due to the extensive use of synonyms and paraphrasing in T/F/NG questions but enough will be present to make doing this worthwhile. # 4 Re-read statement 1 and scan the first paragraph, maybe two, for the keywords or synonyms of them. Scanning will locate where the answer is but detailed reading of this section of the text is now needed to decide if the specific information you’re looking for is TRUE, FALSE or NOT GIVEN. # 5 Make your decision. Remember to consider these three things: • To be TRUE, the information must exactly match even if the words are different. • Look carefully for qualifying words that might change the meaning. • If you are struggling to find the answer it’s probably because it isn’t there, i.e. it’s NOT GIVEN. # 6 Repeat this process for the remaining questions. I hope this is helpful. Jacky
In the third example , I think that the statement disagree with the informations in the text . Because the two sentences are talking about the same topic the only difference is ( suggests / evidence )
Thank you for clarifying Marjana. You are correct in saying that the two sentences are talking about the same topic and the only difference is in the words ‘suggests’ and ‘evidence’. The reason that the answer is ‘Not Given’ is that Sir Anthony’s suggestion may be backed by evidence but we are not told whether it is or not. The statement does not actually disagree with the text. The challenge with T/F/NG questions is that for ‘Not Given’ statements you will be searching for information that’s not there. This is a prime example. I hope this is helpful. Best regard, Jacky
Hi Danial, I have checked through the lesson and I can't find anywhere that I say that not all the answers appear in order. There are two places where I do say that the information is in order in the text.
@@IELTSJacky Hi, from 3:18 to 3:30 you say: " questions appear in order, however, this is not the case with some other types of questions". I found "Some other types of questions" rather confusing as there is no explanations what "other questions are".
Thanks for clarifying this Danial. I mean, question types that are not True, False, Not Given questions. To be specific, question types where the answers are not in order are matching information, matching headings and matching names. The rest are almost always in order. I'm sorry to have confused you. Jacky
The IELTS is always a big challenge to learners. one of those is the question YES, NO, NOT GIVEN. or FALSE, TRUE, NOT GIVEN. I have learned many theories to mitigate the conundrums. Ironically I sometimes make mistakes on such thing. please tell me which statement is TRUE, FALSE, NOT GIVEN. Thanks in advance. - In the passage " They used sailboats to carry tea from China to Britain." Which following statement is False, True or Not Given? 1, They used steam boats to bring tea from China to Britain. 2, They used sailboats to bring cinamon from China to Britain. 3, They used sailboats to transport tea from Britain to China. 4, They used sailboats to carry only tea from China to Britain. 5, All sailboats were used to transport tea from China to Britain. 6, A company used sailboats to carry tea from China to Britain. 7, Sailboats used to be first option for tea transportation from China to Britain. 8, They always used sailboats to carry tea from China to Britain. 9, They built sailboats to carry tea from China to Britain. 10, They used sailboats to trade in tea from China to Britain. 11, They used sailboats to carry tea from China to Germany.
1, They used steam boats to bring tea from China to Britain. FALSE 2, They used sailboats to bring cinamon from China to Britain.

NOT GIVEN 9, They built sailboats to carry tea from China to Britain. NOT GIVEN 10, They used sailboats to trade in tea from China to Britain. TRUE 11, They used sailboats to carry tea from China to Germany. NOT GIVEN One of the biggest challenges with False, True or Not Given questions is that you can only go on the information in the text and not use you own knowledge. For example, 11, 'They used sailboats to carry tea from China to Germany' - this is true in reality but ‘not given’ in the sentence you have stated. I hope this helps.
@@fat1_mahh Because it is possible that they did use sailboats to carry tea from China to Germany but this information is not given. It does not say that they didn’t also carry tea from China to Germany.

why the first answer isn't NG??? literary isn't opposite of wellbeing.
You say questions appear in order and then you say not all questions, what is that supposed to mean?
