The document provides a tutorial on sentence completion for IELTS reading, detailing its definition, nature, problems, and techniques. It emphasizes the importance of adhering to word limits and maintaining grammatical accuracy while completing paraphrased sentences from the text. Additionally, the tutorial includes example questions and historical context regarding the understanding of atoms and Brownian motion.

3. What is sentence completion?
Definition: There are questions on IELTS Reading that ask you
to fill in the gaps in the sentences. Those gaps should be
filled with words taken directly from the reading text. And
you are given a word limit, for example: "Write NO MORE
THAN TWO/ THREE WORDS ..."

4. Continue…….

5. Nature of sentence completion
You should complete statements that
paraphrase sentences from the text.
You're given a word limit.
Questions follow the order of the text.

6. Problem with the sentence completion.
Problem: You are given sentences, which you
have to complete. Those sentences are not
exactly taken from the text: they are
paraphrased. But they keep the initial meaning.

7. Tips of sentence completion.
Make sure that your answer doesn't exceed the
word limit.
Make sure that your answer fits into the sentence
grammatically.
The order of questions can help you. Answer for
question 4 will be between answers for questions
3 and 5 in the text.
If text introduces new terms, some answers are
likely to be among them.

8. Techniques of sentence completion.
Read the all Question first.
Use key words to find the needed paragraph.
Skim the text.
Take the clue for any question.
Having the clue scan it & Pin point it.
Having detected the answer, match it
grammatically and word limit.
Repeat this strategy with other questions.

How atoms were discovered
Hundreds of years ago in 1785 Dutch scientist Jan Ingenhousz was
studying a strange phenomenon that he couldn’t quite make sense
of. Minute particles of coal dust were darting about on the surface
of some alcohol in his lab.
About 50 years later, in 1827, the Scottish botanist Robert Brown
described something curiously similar. He had his microscope
trained on some pollen grains. Brown noticed that some of the
grains released tiny particles – which would then move away from
the pollen grain in a random jittery dance.
At first, Brown wondered if the particles were really some sort of
unknown organism. He repeated the experiment with other
substances like rock dust, which he knew wasn’t alive, and saw the
same strange motion again.

11. It would take almost another century for science to offer an explanation.
Einstein came along and developed a mathematical formula that would
predict this very particular type of movement – by then called Brownian
motion, after Robert Brown.
Einstein’s theory was that that the particles from the pollen grains were
being moved around because they were constantly crashing into millions
of tinier molecules of water – molecules that were made of atoms.
By 1908, observations backed with calculations had confirmed that atoms
were real. Within about a decade, physicists would be able to go further.
By pulling apart individual atoms they began to get a sense of their
internal structure.
It might come as a surprise that atoms can be broken down – particularly
since the very name atom derives from a Greek term “atomos”, which
means “indivisible”. But physicists now know that atoms are not solid little
balls. It’s better to think of them as tiny electrical, “planetary” systems.
They’re typically made up of three main parts: protons, neutrons and
electrons. Think of the protons and neutrons as together forming a “sun”,
or nucleus, at the centre of the system. The electrons orbit this nucleus,
like planets.
