📘 ACADEMIC READING – How to Train

Passage 1: T/F/NG + Sentence completion — ocean micro-organisms
👉 Train: scanning for simple facts

Passage 2: Headings + Matching people — medical discoveries
👉 Train: recognising main idea in first sentences

Passage 3: Yes/No/NG + MCQ — work–life imbalance
👉 Train: author opinion detection + inference MCQs

Reading Strategy:

Underline keywords BEFORE reading.

For T/F/NG & Y/N/NG → match EXACT idea, not similar.

In difficult Passage 3 → read topic sentences only first, then return for answers.

✍️ WRITING – High-Probability Prep

AC Task 1:

Table / Multi-line graph — energy use & emissions
👉 Use comparisons: rose sharply, remained stable, peaked, declined gradually

GT Task 1:

Formal complaint / action request
👉 Use:

I am writing to express concern…

I request that the issue be resolved promptly…


Task 2: (Same for AC & GT)

Most likely:
✔️ Two-part question
✔️ OR Opinion (agree/disagree)

High-probability themes:

1. AI replacing jobs


2. Environmental responsibility


3. Health & lifestyle


4. Work–life balance



👉 Train:

Clear thesis

2 body paragraphs, each with one strong main idea

Examples from daily life, not statistics



🗣️ SPEAKING – Likely Topics

Part 1:

Work/study

Phone habits

Daily routine

Weather / travel preferences


Part 2:

A challenge you solved

A journey you enjoyed

A person who inspired you

A helpful piece of advice you received


Part 3:

Decision-making

Technology’s impact on relationships

Travel & personal growth

Stress in modern life




⭐ FINAL 1-PAGE REMINDER

Listening Part 2 & 3 will be the hardest.

Reading Passage 3 will be inferential (NOT keyword-matching).

Writing Task 2 is unlikely to be Problem–Solution.

Speaking will be standard, but follow-ups will be slightly deeper.
