Cambridge English: Advanced: Reading and Use of English Part 8

• Quickly look at the title and look at any pictures to give yourself a general idea of the subject and style of the piece, don’t read the text until you have analysed the questions.
• Read the questions carefully and underline the key expressions in each one to help focus your mind on what you are reading for.

• Try and remember these key expressions as you read the text at a reasonably fast pace. Some of the answers will be obvious as you read, fill in your answer sheet as you go along.
• Be careful that your answers match all of the information in the question. Sometimes the question will be looking for more than just one criteria so you need to be careful.
• Go back to the unanswered questions, look at the key expressions you underlined and try to remember which area of the text had material related to them. When you are scanning the text, try to keep several questions in mind at once to make more efficient use of your time.
