Let's do a Cambridge IELTS 18 Reading Test!

Shelly Cornick and Nick Lone

Hey! Today Nick and I tackle a reading from the new Cambridge IELTS 18 book. We choose to passage 3 from Test 2, which is titled "An Ideal City". Why? Well, it's because it  contains a rather unusual summary completion question.

Usually summaries are given in a single paragraph, or divided into two shorter paragraphs. This summary, however, is divided into THREE parts and is much longer than the usual summaries that appear. What difference does this make to the way that you should approach this question? Listen to find out!

Plus, we discuss exam management techniques such as how to preview passages, and allays the questions.
