C1 ADVANCED (CAE): READING AND USE OF ENGLISH PART 6

1.  TASK INFORMATION:

a)    You have to read four short texts on the same topic and answer four multiple-matching questions about the texts.

b)   The questions require you to read across the texts in order to find the answers.

c)    The questions will ask you to say which expert shares an opinion with or has a different view from another of the text(s).

d)   It is unlikely that there will be one answer for each of the texts – one of the texts will probably have two answers while another has none.

e)   Getting a sense of the main points the expert is making will help you find the answers more quickly.

2.  ACTION PLAN:

a)    Read the introduction to the texts, noticing the topic and then read the questions to get an idea of what you are looking out for.

b)   Read each of the texts, thinking about the writer’s opinions as you do so.

c)    Read each question carefully and underline any keywords or phrases in it.

d)   Write the letters of the texts that might provide the answer next to the question.

e)   Go back to each of the relevant texts and think about whether it is the answer or not. If not, put a line through that letter next to the question. If you are not sure, put a question mark to that letter.
