Read in Daily Life: emails, notices and schedules
Short, practical texts you might meet on a campus or at work: an email, a notice, an event flyer, a set of instructions. Two or three questions check detail, purpose and inference.
Format
- A text of roughly 60–150 words, often with a header (To/Subject) or a layout like a notice.
- Two to three multiple-choice questions with four options.
- Questions ask about specific details, conditions (what must happen first), and what the writer implies.
Strategy
- Read the questions first, then scan the text for the exact condition or detail.
- Watch for conditions: 'only after', 'unless', 'must', 'may' — they decide the answer.
- For inference questions, choose the option that must be true, not one that could be true.
Common traps
- Options that repeat words from the text but change the condition.
- Mixing up who must do something and who may do it.
- Choosing an answer that is true in real life but not stated in the text.
