‫Hello and welcome back to another allt reading question strategy, a lesson in this lesson, we're going
‫to be learning strategies for answering sentence completion questions.
‫Let's take a look at the basics of this question type.
‫You'd be given a number of sentences with gaps that you need to fill in, the gaps could come in the
‫middle of the sentence or they could come at the end of the sentence.
‫You will find that information given in the passage.
‫You need to read the instructions very carefully and stick to the word limit, which could be one,
‫two or three words.
‫Three is the maximum that you will see in the Eilts reading test.
‫The answers once again are in the text, you need to copy the language exactly with the correct spelling.
‫If you spell something incorrectly in your answer, you will receive no marks.
‫So let's take a look at the strategy for completing this question type here.
‫I have a reading passage with three example questions for sentence completion.
‫In the instructions, it says no more than two words.
‫So your answers should be between one and two words.
‫One thing to note about sentence completion is that once again, the answers are in order inside the
‫text.
‫The first thing you want to do with sentence completion questions is to read through the questions and
‫highlight key language sentence completion questions are not a test of your comprehension or understanding
‫of the passage.
‫So let's begin with the questions and highlight some key words.
‫Here's some tips for you.
‫In question number one, I have highlighted mistakes and miserable.
‫I'm going to look for these words or synonyms of these words in the passage.
‫So let's look at the reading passage.
‫The first sentence running is not for everyone, and it makes you bloody miserable.
‫Here I can see the words are exactly copied into the passage.
‫In actual fact, more often than not, they will be synonyms.
‫So you need to be skimming and scanning the passage for synonyms.
‫So once again, highlight key words in the questions and then move into the reading passage and skim
‫for related language.
‫I'll give you some time now.
‫Please pause the video to read through the passage and try and answer these questions.
‫OK, please pause the video if you do need some more time.
‫And here are the questions for these three sentence completion questions.
‫No one forced yourself no to hate running.
‫And number three, depressed.
‫Let's go over sentence completion strategy one more time.
‫First, read the instructions carefully and check the word limit, start with the questions and try
‫and highlight key vocabulary and language.
‫Remember that the answers are in order in the passage, highlight key words in the questions, move
‫to the passage and skim and scan looking for any matching language or synonyms.
‫You will most likely find your answers there.
‫So that brings us to the end of this question type strategy lesson.
‫See you in the next lesson.
