EXAM TIP: 

- Read the instructions, title and sub-heading of the text.

- Skim the text to get a general idea of what it is about.

- Read each question and highlight the key words ( don't worry about the options yet.)

- Start with question one. Highlight the part of the text that the question relates to.

- Read that part carefully. Look at the four options. The meaning will be the same but the language will be different. LOOK FOR SYNONYMS AND SIMILAR WORDS

-Check all the options again carefully, crossing out the ones that are obviously wrong.

- Make your decision. If you are not sure, choose the option that seems most likely.

NOTE: QUESTIONS FOLLOW THE ORDER OF THE TEXT
