IELTS Cambridge 6 Test A: GT Reading Module

Section 1:

Question 1-9: CAUSTON HEALTH CENTRE: PATIENT INFORMATION LEAFLET

Questions 1-4: Identifying information

[This question asks you to find information from the passage and write the number of the paragraph (A, B, C or D … .. ) in the answer sheet. Now, if the question is given in the very first part of the question set, I’d request you not to answer them. It’s mainly because this question will not follow any sequence, and so it will surely kill your time. Rather, you should answer all the other questions first. And just like List of Headings, only read the first two lines or last two lines of the expected paragraph initially. If you find the answers, you need not read the middle part. If you don’t find answers yet, you can skim the middle part of the paragraph. Keywords will be a useful matter here.]

Question 1: what to do if you need help outside normal working hours

Keywords for this question: need help, outside, normal, working hours,

In the ‘Weekends and Nights’ section, the writer says in line no. 2, “Please remember this is in addition to our normal working day. Urgent calls only please.”

Questions 5-9: TRUE, FALSE, NOT GIVEN

The statement in the question agrees with the information in the passage – TRUE

All three Centre Nurses are available during normal working hours to carry out health checks on patients who have been on doctors’ lists for 3 years.”
