PRACTICE TEST 1: READING PART FOUR Questions 16 - 22

How to approach Reading Test Part Four

1. In this part of the Reading Test you read a short text and decide if seven sentences are ‘Right', ‘Wrong' or ‘Doesn't Say' (not mentioned in the text).

2. First read the complete text. Then read the seven sentences and possible answers. 3. Note any answers which are clear. For others, write down all possible answers. 4. Look for overall meaning. Do not decide a sentence is ‘Right' just because you can see the same words in the text.

5. Be very careful about the difference between ‘Wrong' and ‘Doesn't Say'. Choose ‘Wrong’ if the facts in the text are different from the facts in the sentence. Choose ‘Doesn't Say’ only if there is no definite information in the text, 6. Go back and check your final answers.

A. Read the newspaper article below about business in a small town.

B. Are sentences 16 - 22 on the opposite page ‘Right' or ‘Wrong'? If there is not enough information to answer ‘Right' or ‘Wrong', choose ‘Doesn't Say'.

C. For each sentence 16- 22, mark one letter (A, B or C).

Littleton News Update

The rate of unemployment in Littleton, a small town in the south west of England, has reached a record high this week. According to Helen Santer of Littleton Business Association, there are currently over 4,000 people registered as unemployed. This represents almost a quarter of the town's working population and is an increase of 5% compared to the previous year.

The main reason for this rise was the closure of the last remaining factory in the town, LKS. The company, which manufactured a number of parts for use in the computer industry, finally closed its doors in August, leaving over 150 people without work. Another major employer in Littleton, the Victoria Hotel, was recently bought by the well-known hotel chain Mount Clark, which fought off an attempted takeover by the health club operators Health Check.

Although staff had feared that they would lose their jobs in the resulting reorganisation, hardly any employees have in fact been made redundant. The company's management has recently announced ambitious plans for the improvement of the building's guestrooms.
