IELTS Reading Trap: Keywords vs. Meaning 🔍
@fullenglish
Many students lose easy marks by relying on a dangerous strategy.
❌ Band 4-5: Choosing an answer just because the word appears in the text. (This is exactly the examiner’s trap!)
✅ Band 6-7: Realizing IELTS relies on Paraphrasing and focusing on the underlying meaning.
🚀 Band 8-9: Masterfully identifying and avoiding Distractors (options that look correct but are logically false).
📍 Pro Tip: IELTS tests “comprehension,” not “word matching.” Look for logical connections, not just visual matches!
