0 00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:14,679 We are now going to look at two question types which test your ability to identify information, 1 00:00:14,679 --> 00:00:21,180 views and claims. There are two question types which test your ability to do this: True, 2 00:00:21,180 --> 00:00:25,300 false, not given and yes, no, not given. 3 00:00:25,300 --> 00:00:32,189 The IELTS Reading Test features different text types. When you read a text, you may 4 00:00:32,189 --> 00:00:38,300 find that it is descriptive, which means that it gives factual information, or you may find 5 00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:44,350 that it is discursive, which means that it discusses different points of view. You may 6 00:00:44,350 --> 00:00:49,989 also encounter a text which is persuasive, where the writer puts forward his or her own 7 00:00:49,989 --> 00:00:53,559 views about a topic. 8 00:00:53,559 --> 00:00:59,329 These two question types assess your ability to read and understand different texts by 9 00:00:59,329 --> 00:01:06,180 testing your reading skills in a number of ways. The true, false, not given task tests 10 00:01:06,180 --> 00:01:13,460 your ability to recognise specific information in the text. The yes, no, not given task, 11 00:01:13,460 --> 00:01:19,690 on the other hand, tests your ability to recognise opinions or ideas. 12 00:01:19,690 --> 00:01:25,250 In this unit, we will firstly look at how to do each task and then, you will have the 13 00:01:25,250 --> 00:01:30,900 opportunity to test yourself with these types of questions. So, let’s begin.
