[shc_shortcode class=”shc_mybox”]Reading task type one: summary completion
Task description
The input for this type of question will be a summary of all or part of the
reading text. The summary will contain a number of gaps. All of the
information in the summary will be contained in the reading text, although
the words used will be different. You will also be provided with a list of
words to use to fill the gaps. There will be more words than gaps. These
words have been chosen so that only one word will be suitable for each
gap (the answer) but other words may appear suitable (distracters).
Your task is to complete the summary using one word from the list for
each gap. Because the summary is a paraphrase of the reading text
(rather than an edited version), you will need to have a good
understanding of the overall meaning and main points of the section
summarised, rather than a detailed understanding of the text.
What is being tested is your ability to:
♦= skim the text for information
♦= paraphrase the original
