Takeaways

• 😀 Understand the structure of the B1 reading exam, which includes four parts: Part 1 (overview tables), Part 2 (displays), Part 3 (texts with tasks), and Part 4 (longer texts with details).
• 😀 In Reading Part 1, tasks involve finding specific items in an overview table, such as a department store's categories or a government agency's offerings.
• 😀 Always focus on the most relevant category in Reading Part 1; for example, if buying a football for a child, the correct category is 'Leisure' rather than 'Pets'.
• 😀 In Reading Part 2, carefully compare two similar advertisements or displays, as there is often a 'trap' where two choices seem correct but only one fully fits the task.
• 😀 For tasks where two displays seem correct, it's crucial to pay attention to details like timing (e.g., English course times) to determine the right answer.
• 😀 Common exam mistakes involve misinterpreting advertisements, such as confusing an ad that buys cars with an ad that sells them—it's important to match the task's intention accurately.
• 😀 In Reading Part 3, you will read different text types (e.g., newspaper articles or announcements) and answer tasks such as True/False and ABC questions based on the text.
• 😀 The key to Reading Part 3 is carefully understanding the details in the text, like the reason behind a library's closure, and using that information to answer True/False questions.
• 😀 In Part 3, for ABC questions, focus on the exact instructions in the text (e.g., how to return a book during a library closure).
• 😀 Reading Part 4 deals with longer texts like instructions or product information, where you need to answer detailed questions about specific content (e.g., privacy policies).
• 😀 In Part 4, focus on understanding the specific terms related to the text, such as data collection, sharing, and deletion in privacy policies, to answer correct/incorrect tasks accurately.

Q & A

What is the focus of this video?

The video focuses on explaining the complete reading section of the B1 exam, covering all four parts: Reading Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4.

What is the main task in Reading Part 1?

In Reading Part 1, the task involves an overview table, such as one for a department store or government agency, where you need to match specific tasks to the appropriate categories.

How should you approach a task where you need to buy a ball for your son?

You should first look under the 'Leisure' category for items like footballs and tennis balls. This is the most appropriate category for buying a ball for a child, unlike the 'Pets' category, which contains balls for animals.

What key advice is given for solving tasks in Reading Part 2?

In Reading Part 2, you need to select the correct display for each task. There are usually two similar displays, so it's important to read carefully and identify which one fits the task correctly.

What is a common mistake that students make when choosing between adverts in Reading Part 2?

A common mistake is selecting an advert where both options involve selling a car, which doesn't work because one needs to find an advert for buying a car, not selling one.

What type of content is presented in Reading Part 3?

In Reading Part 3, you are presented with three texts, such as newspaper articles, informal letters, or announcements. You need to answer a true/false question, an ABC task, and an additional question.

What key information is provided in the announcement from the city library in Reading Part 3?

The announcement informs citizens that the library will be closed from June 5th to June 20th due to renovation work, and that book return deadlines will be extended automatically.

In the example task from Reading Part 3, what is the correct answer to the true/false question about the library closure?

The statement that the library is closed due to technical problems is false. The closure is actually due to renovation work, not technical issues.

In Reading Part 4, tasks involve understanding specific details about the privacy policy. For example, it’s important to know that data can be shared with third parties under certain conditions, such as to comply with the law or improve the platform’s services.
