IELTS
2. Cách làm:
 Bước 1: Xác định yêu cầu đề bài.
 Bước 2: Đọc tất cả các headings.
 Bước 3: Gạch chân từ khóa và xác định nội dung chính của tiêu đề.
 Bước 4: Scan bài đọc để rút ra ý chính của từng đoạn (đối với matching headings).
Scan bài đọc để xác định vị trí thông tin (đối với matching features).
 Bước 5: Loại trừ headings dựa trên từ khóa và ý đã rút ra để chọn câu trả lời đúng.
3. Tips:
 Không nên chỉ đọc mỗi câu đầu và câu cuối của đoạn văn – vì khả năng là bạn sẽ chú
ý đến những từ khóa nổi bật mà khoanh luôn đáp án có chứa từ khóa đó.
 Các headings luôn được paraphrase lại, vì vậy hiếm trường hợp nội dung của đoạn văn
chứa nhiều từ khóa trùng với headings.
 Cần phải đọc hiểu nội dung các headings thay vì chỉ đơn thuần gạch chân từ khóa.
 Khi có quá nhiều đáp án nhiễu, chúng ta loại trừ phương án sai thay vì đi tìm đáp án
đúng.
 Nên ưu tiên làm các dạng bài khác rồi sau đó cuối cùng mới quay lại làm bài matching
headings/features vì lúc đó bạn đã đọc qua bài đọc và nắm sơ được các ý chính và thông
tin.

Sample Reading Passage: u6 – prac 3
Hot Days, Hot Nights
Paragraph A
Here is what global warming could do in a few years: in Dallas, a doubled level of carbon
dioxide would increase the number of days a year with temperatures above 100 degrees from
nineteen to seventy-eight. On sixty-eight days, as opposed to the current four, the temperature
wouldn't fall below 80 degrees at night. One hundred and sixty-two days a year, the temperature
would top 90 degrees.
Paragraph B
Although most scientists agree that increasing levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse
gases will inevitably lead to global warming, no one is certain how fast and how much tempera-
tures will rise and what the effects will be in any geographical areas. This gives policymakers an
excuse for delaying action. Some experts predict that within two centuries glaciers in the North
and South Poles will melt, ocean levels will rise, and much of what is now the coast of the
United States will be under water. They also predict great droughts and hurricanes, as a result of
climate changes.
Paragraph C
Other scientists think the changes will be much more gradual, even beneficial. After all, Canada
would not complain if the productive corn-growing lands - now located in the U.S. Midwest-
were shifted north across the border.
Paragraph D
While many nations could end up with milder climates, the change - perhaps 100 times faster
than at any time in human history - could be so drastic that many of the benefits would be lost.
There could be crowds of environmental refugees, as well, making the tragedy of the Dust Bowl
era seem mild in comparison.
The reading passage Hot Days, Hot Nights has 4 paragraphs A-D. Choose the most suitable
heading for each paragraph A-D from the list of headings below. Write the appropriate numbers
(I-VIII). Please note that there are more headings than you can use.

Sample Reading Passage:
‘Antarctic are related to climate change,' says Rod Downie, Environmental Manager with the
British Antarctic Survey (BAS). Large numbers of visitors increase these problems.
Although polar tourism is widely accepted, there have been few regulations up until recently. At
the meeting of the Antarctic Treaty in Baltimore, the 28 member nations adopted proposals for
limits to tourist numbers. These included safety codes for tourist vessels in Antarctic waters, and
improved environmental protection for the continent. They agreed to prevent ships with more
than 500 passengers from landing in Antarctica, as well as limit the number of passengers going
ashore to a maximum of 100 at any one time, with a minimum of one guide for every 20 tourists.
"Tourism in Antarctica is not without its risks,' says Downie. 'After all, Antarctica doesn't have a
coastguard rescue service.'
'So far, no surveys confirm that people are going quickly to see polar regions before they
change,' says Frigg Jørgensen, General Secretary of the Association of Arctic Expedition Cruise
Operators (AECO). 'However, Hillary Clinton and many other big names have been to Svalbard
in the northernmost part of Norway to see the effects of climate change. The associated media
coverage could influence others to do the same.' These days, rarely a week passes without a
negative headline in the newspapers. The suffering polar bear has become a symbol of a
warming world, its plight a warning that the clock is ticking. It would seem that this ticking
clock is a small but growing factor for some tourists. "There's an element of "do it now","
acknowledges Prisca Campbell, Marketing Director of Quark Expeditions, which takes 7,000
people to the poles annually. Leaving the trip until later, it seems, may mean leaving it too late.
In addition, it seems that a high number of visitors return to the poles. 'Looking at six years
worth of data, of the people who have been to the polar regions, roughly 25 percent go for a
second time,' says Louisa Richardson, a senior marketing executive at tour operator Exodus.
Look at the following statements and the list of people below.

Match each statement with the correct person, A-D. NB You may use any letter more than once.
1 There are some dangers to travelling in Antarctica.
2 Some famous people have travelled to polar regions to look at the impacts of global
warming.
3 Some tourists make more than one trip to the poles.
