IELTS Reading - Sentence Completion

In this task for the IELTS reading you have to complete sentences using a certain number of words. Here are some factors to remember when answering a sentence completion task:

- The questions will be in the same order as the text.

- The questions provide the clues where to find the answers in the text.

- You need to skim (Skimming is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text.)

- You need to scan (Scanning is used to search for key words or ideas.)         

- You should mark the passage or the answer that relates to the question.

- You need to look out for keywords or phrases before you start scanning/skimming the passage. This helps you know what you are looking for.


- Look at the sentence in the question and think about the part(s) of speech/ phrase that fits into the sentence within the limitation of the word count.
