14 different Academic Reading tasks
Each of the 14 units in this book introduces a different reading task that you may encounter during the IELTS Academic Reading test:
- Matching headings
- True / False / Yes / No / Not Given
- Matching information
- Summary completion
- Sentence completion
- Multiple choice
- Matching features
- Choosing a title
- Categorisation/classification
- Matching sentence endings
- Table completion
- Flowchart completion
- Diagram completion
- Short answer questions
Each unit contains three two-page sections:
1. Think and prepare...
... starts with some questions to get you thinking about the unit topic, and introduces some challenging words and phrases that will appear in the practice activities that follow.
2. Practise...
... introduces a new reading task for you to practise the task type using a text that is shorter than what will feature in the exam. It starts with some strategies and tips for how to approach each task, for you to try these strategies out during the activities then reflect on what went well, what you learned and what you will need to do to improve.
3. Put it to the test...
... includes a text that is designed to replicate an IELTS Reading test task. There is no support here – it’s just you, the text and the questions!
Appendices to support your IELTS preparation:
- Task info and tips: Definitions of each task type, and tips on how to approach the task.
- Extra activities: Further practice in applying different task types to the units’ texts.
- Answers: Comprehensive answers and guidance for each activity.
- Glossary and Index: Definitions of all high-level vocabulary used.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Majestic Books, Hounslow, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
