Material: Worksheet 1
Time: 5- 10
minutes
Procedure:
• introduce the focus of the lesson – dealing with T/F/NG (and Y/N/NG)
questions
in the IELTS Reading Test.
• explain that these questions require test takers to recognise particular points of
information (or
opinions or ideas, in the case of Y/N/NG questions) conveyed in
the text.
• tell students to look
at Worksheet, Exercise 1. (This is just to give an idea).
• tell students to read the “passage” and work in pairs to answer question 1-3.
Answers
1. FALSE
– the Wifi
code is Dublin, NOT London (direct contradiction)
2. TRUE
– the third letter of the code is the letter ‘b’.
3. NOT GIVEN
– the passage does not mention whether Dublin is the capital of the
Republic of Ireland or not. You can also use this opportunity
to point out that
even if you know Dublin is the capital, based on the information given in the
TEXT/PASSAGE, the correct answer is NOT GIVEN.
• round this exercise up by eliciting where students will find answers i.e. in the
actual text, and not in their general knowledge of the topic.
