These questions ask you to classify information given in the reading
text. Classifications are often according to the writer’s opinion or according
to a period of time or place. You will be asked to identify a letter which
represents one of the classifications for each item in a list of statements.
Look at the example below.
Questions 1 -4
Classify the following statements as referring to
US the United States
J Japan
G Germany
or UK the United Kingdom
Write the appropriate letters in boxes 1-4 on your
answer sheet.
NB You
may use any answer more than once.
1 The biggest spenders on
personal travel.
2 Had the greatest number of
international travellers in 2002.
3 Take the majority of their
holidays in Western Europe.
4

How to do:
-
Read the instructions carefully,
-
Make sure you know how many
classifications there are and what letters you have to use. (e.g. US, J, G
& UK in the exercise above),
-
Read the classifications carefully. Make sure you don’t confuse the letters which represent each one.
-
Read the statements/phrases or words beside the question numbers and underline the key words.
-
Start with the first statement and work
your way through them one by one, searching
the text to find where the info is
mentioned.
-
The questions will not necessarily be in the same order as the text and the wording will probably be different in the text
so look out for synonyms and parallel expressions.
-
When you’ve located the
reference in the text, read it carefully and select your answer.
-
Don’t leave any statements without a letter.
