Tips: Part 7- Multiple Matching- Reading and Use of English
Part 7: Format
Here you have 10 statements that you have to match to the information in one long text or a few shorter texts.
As you can see in this example, it’s possible to have lots of the same answer. Text A might match with 2, 3, or 4 answers.
?How to Do It
- Start by reading the introduction to the task (the part that says ‘you are going to read…’) and the title of the article (in this case ‘Rising Star’)
- You can either read the questions first or the text first. Cambridge put the questions before the text because they suggest students read the questions first.
- If you decide to read the questions first, underline the key words and phrases.
- Then read section A of the text and try to find 2 or 3 sentences that match. Repeat with B, then C, etc.
?Tip
?Your job is to find synonyms – if a word is in both the text and a question it is probably NOT the answer.
When you’re practicing this part of the exam,
- underline the part of the text that you think matches the question.
- Then think about why you chose that answer.
A lot of the questions are about peoples’ thoughts and feelings, so learn as much of that vocabulary as possible.
For example, make sure you know words like regret, accuse, reassure.
