This ppt is about most important part of reading i.e. true, false, not given or yes, no, not given. These tips are very useful to get your answers right.

1. IELTS Reading-True, False, NotGiven
orYes, No, NotGiven
TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN questions
deal with facts.
YES/NO/NOT GIVEN
questions are slightly
different because
they deal with opinion.

2. How to get the answers right
True/Yes
There is information in the text that agrees exactly with the statement in
the question. Note that you will almost certainly need to look for
synonyms here and match meaning and not words.
False/No
There is information in the text that is directly opposite to or contradicts
the statement in the question. Again note that you will also need to think
about meaning here.You should pay careful attention to “little” words that
qualify or change meaning such as: some , all, often, occasionally, always,
etc.
Not Given
This is the one that normally causes the most problems. Something is not
given if there is no information about it in the text. Do not spend ages
looking for Not Given answers because you will waste time.

3. Strategiesto answer the questions
1. The questions follow the order of the text.
2. Read the whole question. Do NOT focus on key words. Think
about the meaning of the question.
3. Watch out for qualifying words such as some, never, often or
always. They can change the meaning of the question
dramatically.
4. Scan the text to find where the answer is using keywords
from the question. Also try to think of what synonyms might
be in the text. This will help you identify the matching part of
the text.
5. When you find where the keyword or its synonym is, read the
text carefully to identify if you think it is True/Yes, False/No or
NG.

4. Continued…….
6. Focus on the statement again and then carefully read the
matching part of the text to establish if it is true or false.
Remember the meaning should exactly match that statement
if it is true.
7. Do not spend too long on any one question. If the answer is
“Not Given”, there may be nothing for you to find.
8. If you can’t find the answer, mark it as ‘not given’ and move
on to the next question.
9. Be careful with questions beginning “The writer says”: here
you need to think about the writer’s opinions and not about
facts.

5. Continued…….
10. The questions will follow the order of the text: if you can’t
find answer 5, you know it must be somewhere between 4
and 6.
11. One possibility is to mark all the “True” answers and all the
“False” answers and then guess “Not Given” for the others.
12. Don’t assume anything based on your knowledge and
experience, read the text.
13. Check for questions which contain reasons: because, as,
since, etc.

PASSAGE: UN WARNS OVER IMPACT OF RAPIDLY AGEING POPULATIONS
The world needs to do more to prepare for the impact of a rapidly ageing population,
the UN has warned - particularly in developing countries.Within 10 years the number
of people aged over 60 will pass one billion, a report by the UN Population Fund said.
The demographic shift will present huge challenges to countries' welfare, pension and
healthcare systems.The UN agency also said more had to be done to tackle "abuse,
neglect and violence against older persons".
The number of older people worldwide is growing faster than any other age group.The
report, Ageing in the 21st Century: A Celebration and a Challenge, estimates that one
in nine people around the world are older than 60.The elderly population is expected
to swell by 200 million in the next decade to surpass one billion, and reach two billion
by 2050.This rising proportion of older people is a
consequence of success - improved nutrition,
sanitation, healthcare, education and economic
well-being are contributing factors, the report says.

7. QUESTIONS
1 Question: Approximately thirty per cent of
the population are over 60 years old. - FALSE
2 Question: The growth of the elderly
population is going to make it extremely
difficult to provide adequate social service
provision. - TRUE
