What is the task?
You will be given a passage, on the basis of which your comprehension skills will be tested in different ways – one of these ways is through labelling a diagram. Key information from the passage will be diagrammatically represented in the question paper. Its various parts will be numbered, and each number leads to a fill-in-the-blank question. The blanks must be filled using no more than three words from the given passage – each answer must correctly describe that particular part of the diagram.
The purpose of the task is to test your ability to comprehend information written in English in such a way that you can make connections between the written matter and the pictorial representation of the same.
Tips and Techniques
- The first step in accomplishing this task must be to read the passage carefully. Once you have finished reading, take a close look at the diagram as well as the accompanying fill-in-the-blank questions. Try to match what you already read, with what you now see in the picture.
- Keeping the diagram and the questions in your mind, go through the passage once again. Keep a look out for those words or phrases (no more than three words!) that can be used to fill the blanks – or rather, that perfectly describe what you saw in the diagram.
- An important skill that is associated with this task is your vocabulary – if your vocabulary is strong, you will recognise the meanings of the words in the passage and you will know what the object that the word is describing looks like – in this way, you will make the match between the words and the diagram easily! Thus, to prepare for this task, building your vocabulary is of prime importance.
