I think it’s a good idea to read the questions in the first section (#1-6), before reading the passage. After you have read the questions, start reading the passage carefully. When you find the answer to a question, select your answer right away and keep reading. If you still have unanswered questions after you have finished reading the passage, you can try to look for the answer, but remember that time is important! It might be better to start answering the questions in the second section (#7-11). If you are running out of time, make sure you guess for each answer. Never leave an answer blank!

For this task, it is important to have a strategy. If you read the whole passage, you will probably forget which information is in which paragraph. If you read the questions first, you will probably forget them because they are a bit hard to understand. So, in my opinion, the best strategy to use is to read the first paragraph, then scan the questions to see if any information matches. Probably one or two questions will match with that paragraph. Then, read the next paragraph and do the same thing. It will get easier and easier each time because some of the questions have already been answered. By the time you get to the last paragraph, you should only have one or two questions left. Remember, E is also an option (no paragraph has the information). So, after you have finished reading the last paragraph and answering the questions, if there are still unanswered questions, you can just put E. oe) Mad English TV 6 Quek Ones hitps lw seribd.com/document!493934342/CELPIP 9183,-argi2021 ceLPIP maa Sa w Answers 1 oC & D 3 A 4.

If you understand the passage, the questions will be easy. So, I think it’s a good idea to read the passage carefully first and try to understand the various viewpoints. A lot of people struggle to understand viewpoints. A “viewpoint” is an opinion. For example, CNN News is a left-wing (liberal) broadcasting company. They will always say good things about Obama and Clinton because those politicians are also left-wing. CNN will always say bad things about Trump. Fox News, on the other hand, is a right-wing (conservative) broadcasting company and never says good things about left-wing politicians. So, if a news article says that Trump is a great president, then that is the viewpoint of the writer. It doesn’t matter whether you think it’s true or not. So, if you see a question like this: According to the article, Trump will _. A. make America great again. B. bankrupt America. C. endanger America. D. lose the next election. ‘The article probably doesn’t say that Trump will make America great again, but that is the answer because it matches with the viewpoint of the writer. i) Mad English TV a Suet Ores hitpslwwusribd.com/documenti403934342/CELPIP 12183-argi2021 ceLPIP Answers 1 B 2 8B 3. iB 4A 5.

There might not be a question on that part. Or, if there is a question, the answer options might help you understand the meaning of it. For example, if you don’t know what “company” means in the reading passage, you might understand it when you read the email response from Uncle Denis. When you don’t understand something, try to figure out from the context. For example, on day two and three, Brad and his friends “took it easier”. You can predict that it means “relaxed” because the first day they travelled for a long time and felt stiff and sore. So, try your best to figure out the overall context, What is happening? - Brad is writing an email to thank his Uncle Denis for letting him borrow his bike. - Brad and his friends had planned to go on a road trip, but Brad’s bike broke down a few days before the trip. - Brad is telling his uncle about the trip. co) Mad English TV 2s hitpslwwuzsribd.com/document!493034342/CELPIP 14153-argi2021 ceLPIP wo ae sewenteament Answers C- stopped working B - it was the same make as one he used to own A- it started raining B - he wasn’t used to the bike D- the USA uses the imperial system of measurement C- diverse ‘A- company D - West Coast B - postpone departure by a day C- your buddy’s bike C- lend you my bike Mad English TV 26 Task 2 os ‘Sc serge: 10 Sai Ingredort’ cream choose. rears. rata caches, | Satter absense Shite ke we needs tntoag sre att coarsest _ Sora SSecomeee eee eee ‘ Seer nee fee 6 ‘emg net ean ene fearon, 0 Arne oma achat] F gute coco, | Eisen sisataniee “raneumeramaes | ee sees | Seeiiemwcannomeracmmeate Soy ar es See erties See a Sasori Diary Queen Ice Cream Cake ss rags tects cca waists, Sete in imasceceamyasenes penn ne oer sanmmanaciecates | Servings: 24 < Ingredients: ananas, wabw's, | ccs arsine we__6 (Ata. danas, ou er eggs, tour ig. oss A pry lnm so ee Bout les catbarmow fa eoay mae Aden ake ogee vay bay ‘eats tom uty Guen @ lk unerne get te woven opted Mad English TV 2 Suet Ores hitpslwwusribd.com/documenti403934342/CELPIP 1553sfarz02t ceLPP wo ae Vocabulary Not be able to make it (can’t come to the party) Switching things up (doing something different) Seconds (another piece of cake) Chilly (cold) Dietary restrictions (can’t eat certain foods) iW Mad English TV 28 Tips Remember, the answer you choose should always have a connection to the information in the reading passage or diagram. There might be several answers that make sense in your opinion, but you need to choose the answer that matches with the reading passage. For example, maybe you think cupcakes are too boring for a party. Well, Chloe’s mom obviously doesn’t think so because she’s considering them. The recipe calls for walnuts, so the best answer is that some people might be allergic to nuts. Sometimes two answers might seem right. In that case, just try to choose the one that makes the most common sense. For example in question #4. Cupcakes are not__. A. atraditional-looking birthday cake (that’s true). B. healthy (that’s probably true, but none of the options are healthy) C. easy to make (we have no idea how hard they are to make) D. . big enough to satisfy someone (possible, but are cupcakes any smaller than a normal piece of cake? We don’t really know. Also, the recipe will make 24 cupcakes, so everyone can get more than one.)

Try reading one paragraph, then answering any questions containing that information. Don’t get intimidated by acronyms (TCH). The acronym will always be explained the first time it is used, so remember to pay attention to that. Remember, the only thing you have to do in this task is to match the sentences on the right with the paragraphs on the left. Even if you don’t fully understand the passage, you can still try to find matching information. For example, if the question says “changed from miles to kilometres”, you can match it with “switched to the metric system” even if you don’t really understand what the passage means. So don’t worry too much if you don’t understand the meaning of the whole passage in task 3. For other tasks, it is more important to understand the meaning.
