IELTS Reading Sample (General) #3

Test Tip
When you do a completion task, read the instructions carefully and note how many words you are allowed to write. Sometimes you will have to summarize the information in order to keep within the word limit.


Charts or diagrams give a summary of the information and show visual links, so think about the relationship between the ideas in a text. The different parts of a chart/diagram may not be in the same order as the information in the text. The chart/diagram may not show all information included in the text. The chart/diagram may not use the same words as the text but synonyms or paraphrases.
