Cambridge IELTS 8 - Reading Explanation

Mr. An  has been working as an English teacher for 8 years at Hanoi University. With the experience of teaching a number of IELTS courses, he feels obliged to share his thoughts about how to deal with IELTS. In this guide, he focuses on analysing answers to reading questions in the most popular IELTS series ‘Cambridge IELTS’. Because of time constraint, only Cambridge IELTS 8 is discussed in this guide. The rest of the series will be studied later.

The guide is structured in the table format with different columns: Question, Key, Paragraph Evidence, Sentence Evidence and most importantly, Comment. Cambridge IELTS series is well known for its accuracy and relevance because it is claimed as past IELTS papers. However, it does not provide details of answer key to the Reading section, which causes a great deal of confusion to the reader. As such, the Evidence columns will serve as an essential guide, especially, for moderate-level students. In the Comment column, personal views regarding reading strategies, synonym, key vagueness or confusion will be presented.
