Tips for the Reading Part 6 - Text completion


In this part, you have to answer questions about vocabulary and grammar points as you do in Part 5. However, instead of sentences, you are given four texts that each have three missing words. Therefore, there are 12 questions for you to answer in this part.
1.    Though this part contains texts such as e-mails, letters, notices, and articles, you should avoid starting with reading the whole texts. You are not asked to find information to answer the questions (you will have to do that in Part 7).
2.    Focus on the sentences which contain the missing words. Then, try to identify which grammar points or vocabulary you are asked to choose.
3.    Read the sentences you need to complete.
4.    If the reading those sentences does not help you find a clear answer, move backward or forward to read the preceding or following sentences. For example, if you have to decide which verb tense should be used in the sentence, you might read the previous sentences and consider the order and the continuity of the event.
Follow the tips given here, and I’m sure you will improve you skills and ultimately end up with a higher score. Make sure you don’t miss my next blog post about Part 7.
