Finding the Main Idea
Four original practice passages · 24 matching decisions · Detailed explanations
Technique: Decide what each paragraph is mainly about. Read the whole paragraph, then sum it up in a few words. Look for the idea that links the examples, not a single detail. Each passage has one extra description that matches no paragraph, because it is only a detail.
Original IELTS-style teaching practice; not an official IELTS examination. In the actual test, follow the instructions for each task.
