Hello everybody my name is J I'm one of the expert IELTS teachers here at e to language what we're going to do in this live class is we're gonna focus on IELTS reading this is both for general and academic we're going to focus on a specific task called sentence completion if you haven't seen the other IELTS reading videos we've done and you're on YouTube right now click up here or up here I forget where it is but there's a lots of other ones or if you just want to go to the platform e to language comm there's lots and lots of practice materials for you to do because it's one thing to learn the methods and it's another thing entirely to actually practice and if you want to crack this test and get a 7 7.5 or an 8 you need to practice the other thing is if you're on YouTube right now click the subscribe button down there rock and roll so this is task type at number 8 sentence completion let me explain this task to you this is kind of what it will look like on test day right of course you're going to have this separate reading textbook here but what you're going to have here are a set of instructions you're going to have the questions you can see its sentence completion because there is a big gap at the end of the sentence or the sentence may have.
A gap in the middle of the sentence you need to complete it quite simply first thing you should do is read the instructions because it tells you how many words and/or numbers you can use and it says choose no more than two words from the text so you're not creating any words you're taking words directly from the text and inserting them into those gaps right but this says two words so we could have one word like car or you could have two words like red car you cannot have three you cannot use a number I'll talk about numbers in a second so you can see the question here vonapp Frisch discovered the difference but dance types by changing the position of the something-or-other just let me change the color of my pin here just bear with me I didn't think it was black red Red's nice so what you need to do is you need to identify a keyword in the question right different dance types something like that then what you're going to do is you're going to scan read the text and you're going to find that keyword in the text right wherever it is then you're going to read very carefully and you're going to think very critically about what word or words will fit in here there's a few clues that you can get it get from here for example the article though which means what type of word can possibly.
