Hand out the sample task to each student. Ask students to look at it for 30 seconds in order to find out in general what the text is about. Ask students to compare their ideas with a partner. Elicit a few ideas from the class.  \n2. Explain that to save time on the Reading paper, they must not read every word or try to understand all the text. Instead they must use the skills of skimming and scanning to find the answers. With multiple choice questions, they must skim and scan for information relating to the question stem, not the answer options, as these are often distractors (options which are not correct) .  \n3. Hand out the worksheet. Students underline key words in the question stems and then compare their choices with their partner. Students should cover the answer options (A-D) and only focus on the stem at this stage.  \n4. Students skim and scan to find the relevant part of the text. Allow 30 seconds for this. Conduct a quick class check of the location in the text with students pointing to the relevant paragraph.  \n5. Allow 2 or 3 minutes for the paraphrasing, summarising and discussion of the first  \nquestion in pairs. Monitor the class to check they are all giving answers that are possible.  \n6. Students now uncover the answer options (A – D) and select the best answer before comparing with their partner. Check their answers as a class. Ask a student with the correct answer to explain why they chose it and where in the text the relevant information is. If necessary, guide the students to the right answer choice by explaining why the alternatives are not possible. Encourage students to re-read the relevant part of the text.  \n7. Repeat for questions 11 and 12 using the same procedure and checking answers atthe end of each step.  \n8. Round off the activity by asking students if the correct answer option for each question could be chosen according to its grammatical fit. Make sure students realise that this is not the case – all answer options (A – D) are grammatically possible.  \nSuggested follow-up activity  \nIn a subsequent class, ask students to write their own multiple choice questions for another text and then exchange them with a partner. This provides further practice in a more lighthearted way, and the writing of questions provides good practice of understanding the text thoroughly and an insight into the examiners’minds.  \nIELTS Academic Reading Type 1 (Multiple Choice Questions) Activity – answer key  \nKey to Sample Task  \nKey words in bold  \n10 Research completed in 1982 found that in the United States soil erosion  \nA reduced the productivity of farmland by 20 per cent.  \nB was almost as severe as in India and China.  \nC was causing significant damage to 20 per cent of farmland.  \nD could be reduced by converting cultivated land to meadow or forest.  \n11 By the mid-1980s, farmers in Denmark  \nA used 50 per cent less fertiliser than Dutch farmers.  \nB used twice as much fertiliser as they had in 1960.  \nC applied fertiliser much more frequently than in 1960.  \nD more than doubled the amount of pesticide they used in just 3 years.  \n12 Which one of the following increased in New Zealand after 1984?  \nA farm incomes  \nB use of fertiliser  \nC over-stocking  \nD farm diversification  \n10 C The United States   discovered in 1982 that about one-fifth of its farmland was losing topsoil at a rate likely to diminish the soil's productivity.  \n11 B Fertiliser use doubled","cbCaipvlvYpxYI6e","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipvlvYpxYI6e","pdf",144564,"English","# Procedure\n## Aims\n## Suggested follow-up activity\n# Answer key (Sample Task)\n## Key to Sample Task\n# Student’s Worksheet\n## Questions 10–12","[{\"question\":\"What are the aims of this IELTS Academic Reading Type 1 activity?\",\"answer\":\"The aims are to introduce multiple choice type questions and practise answering them by scanning and skimming for relevant information, then summarising the relevant part before considering the answer choices.\"},{\"question\":\"How should students use skimming and scanning during the activity?\",\"answer\":\"Students should skim and scan to find the relevant part of the text by focusing on information connected to the question stem, not the answer options, which can be distractors.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the recommended approach when checking answers?\",\"answer\":\"Students should select the best answer after uncovering options (A–D), compare with a partner, and then explain why the correct option fits while considering where the information appears in the text.\"}]","IELTS Academic Reading Type 1 - Multiple Choice Questions Activity | PDF",1790760222,15]
