IELTS Journal. Tips for IELTS Reading. Target Band 7+

Many teachers and books talk about skimming and scanning as key techniques for IELTS reading. But, here we refer to the words 'skimming' and 'scanning' as 'finding' in my lessons as they may seem confusing to students. In fact, many students get the wrong answers because they 'skim' too quickly and miss the words that they are looking for. So, forget 'skimming' and 'scanning' and focus on 'finding' and intensive reading as referred to 'understanding' here from now on.
