The best preparation for IELTS Reading Young Kim

Preface

As far as I know, students of English may find reading long passages the most difficult.

Personally, reading is a very interesting skill and easy to master if its sub-skills can skillfully

be applied when reading. Concerning IELTS, the Reading test tends to select authentic

extracts from books, journals, newspapers, magazines, or research papers, which seems

increasingly intimidating to candidates who are not fast readers.

Understanding this situation, I have tried to work out user-friendly material to facilitate

English learning, especially helping English learners to improve their reading skill more

effectively.

Our practical step-by-step guide to test practice as well as important skills presented and

explained will certainly meet your expectations and bring success to your coming IELTS

test.

Main Features

1. The book starts with what is known as "Warm-up" to actually help even beginners of

English to get access to reading English material.

2. The unique five- and six-step procedures - SSUPA and SSSUPA - enable learners to

read passages with ease and comfort.

3. The six most common question types in the IELTS Reading test presented in the book

will provide learners with their best test preparation and test taking.

4. Short passages of approximately 300 words have carefully been selected with the aim

of gradually familiarising learners with longer and more academic reading passages.

5. Each item is presented in the same format throughout the book. In other words, each

lesson consists of three sections starting with a brief overview, moving on to guided

practice, and ending with free practice.

6. The step-by-step guide to find out correct answers has made this book become

unique and different from others. This useful support will certainly facilitate learners

and give them considerable confidence in improving their reading ability.

7. A detailed answer key is also provided at the end of the book to help learners to

check their work and see their progress after learning and acting on valuable advice

given in the previous parts.
